"The Mighty Mississippi" Scopitone

MightymississippiThis Scopitone is evidently one of the main things that brought down Scopitone. The squeeky-clean Back Porch Majority sued Scopitone for I think, upwards of a million dollars, for sullying their image by inserting "lewd" shots like the one on the left. Damn you Back Porch Majority! You killed Scopitones!

I can't look away! It's like the worst train wreck in history. The music is terrible, the people are smarmy and need to be slapped (hard), the imagery is creepy... I love it!

(The background vocals - "wacka-do wacka-do, bodee-oh-do" ????)
