Check out this WILDLY weird early 60s video!
After you get past the feather duster women in the very beginning, and the woman in yellow, you get a great view of the hairsprayed, nightgowned singer - but the whole song is an unforgettably funny look at the weirdness way back when.

o_0 Well, uh... her voice is pretty good. Just gonna' try and forget all the rest of it.

In a similar vein, there's Josh Way's YouTube riff on a terrible appliance short called "Out Of This World." In addition to the offensive messaging and stereotypes, the hapless female "star" was clearly fed an entire bowl of elephant tranks before they started filming. Soooo creepy.

There's an even more evil one he did called "Gags And Gals," if you're feeling extra-courageous one day. :D
