My husband challenged me to make my own music video to this song, and since I am such a fan of classic movie musicals, they are mostly what I used for this. I also slipped in the famous “Thriller” by Micheal Jackson, and a special guest! I hope you don’t mind

The story line first appeared in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: The Illuminating Diary of a Professional Lady, a 1925 novel by Anita Loos. It was adapted for the stage in 1926, and then a 1928 silent movie, starring Ruth Taylor, Alice White, Ford Sterling, and Mack Swain, which, as of now, is apparently lost. John C. Wilson directed the Broadway musical with Carol Channing as Lorelei Lee that served as the basis for this screen version. Loos wrote a sequel to her novel entitled But Gentlemen …
