This 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" ????)
