My dear Mom (RIP) had an expression when we were young. If someone wanted to get rid of someone, They would “Shuffle ‘em off to Buffalo”.

When I first saw the movie “42nd Street” on TV and heard that song I laughed so hard...as I realized where Mom got the expression.

Oh...in that “We’re in the money”, the set design looks like it may have been done by Ayn Rand! (LOLOL)

HARRY WARREN

GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933: “WE’RE IN THE MONEY”

Fred would have killed to have a number like this in one of his RKO musicals. Pandro Berman couldn’t ask Harry to contribute songs to his films because Harry was under contract to Warner Brothers, and the studio was making a mint out of his songs, as was Harry. But Fred got his chance to put it on shellac. That’s Fred playing filthy piano.
