Can't wait to hear about the new gang, 6-7.

The amount of full blown clownery is embarrassing

Pure song it's probably "Laura" which isn't sung in the film, it's like a movie tie in song but works. 1940s noir distilled down.

Something closer is probably "Put the Blame on Mame" from Gilda, (it's dubbed) but that scene feels emblematic of golden age Hollywood at the end in some ways. It's like 1940s sexy, with a sort of campy energy that gives it a loose feel.

Well, I mean, anything from any of the musicals. Like from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is largely iconic, but that is more like silver-age.

I'll also note people like "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" but honestly feel like "is anybody here for love" is the best number but I digress.
