As the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) unclothes [see what I did there?] its new exhibition all about the history of underwear, so I thought that on this Tacky Music Monday I should seek out an appropriate song.
Here is, of course, the irrepressible Carol Channing (with Ginger Rogers) with their tribute to the garment:
However, as that clip is such poor quality, here's a corset-themed slideshow to accompany the same song, this time by Fran Warren...
Now, a corset can do a lot for a lady
Especially when a lady's got a lot
And a lady can do a lot for that cor-set
By filling in the bottom and top.
First you push it up here
Pull it down there
Tighten up the middle
Till you're gasping for air
Oh, a corset can do a lot for a lady
'Cos it helps to show a man what she's got
Indeed.
Undressed: A Brief History of Underwear is on at the V&A until Sunday, 12th March 2017
