Gold Diggers of 1933 is an American musical film directed by Mervyn LeRoy with choreography by Busby Berkeley. It stars Ruby Keeler, Ginger Rogers, Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon and Dick Powell. The story was based on that used previously on the very successful Technicolor musical comedy entitled Gold Diggers of Broadway which had been the biggest box office hit of 1929.

I didn't want anyone to confuse this with Busby Berkeley's 'Anus Montage of 1936.'

So many possible tags:

'clear anus testimonials'

'children writhing in fake pain from the perils of an unclean anus'

'scrubbing bubbles'

The only thing that this lovely infomercial lacks is puppets. Contact Marty Krofft.

What other superfluous tags can I add to get this one a single, little vote?

'Feather-haired kama sutra'

'The Marlboro Man was never called an asshole, but Stephin Merritt probably has been'

This particular song is from one of the three discs that comprise Merritt's "69 Love Songs", a masterpiece about Ferdinand De Saussure, love, Busby Berkeley, bad obsessive stalking love, dancing, grim yet hopeful love, trucker's hands, and chickens with their heads cut off.

Busby Berkeley choreographed dancers to mimic the motions of machines and modern inventions. Holden´s "AutoGene" is the flipside of this .It's a simple aesthetic looking robot composed of eight modified umbrellas mounted in a circular pattern. A cocktail of air hoses and electrical cables join these umbrellas to a central computer which enables "AutoGene" to produce a choreographed dance to music which erodes the machines mechanical qualities and transforms the mundane umbrellas into magical animated objects....
