One of the most iconic songs in musical history, "I Enjoy Being A Girl" from FLOWER DRUM SONG ('61) has been covered by many artists including Doris Day, Peggy Lee, and Lea Salgona--finding its way into parodies, TV shows, and drag performances. In 2005, Gap released a parody of this scene in their commercial, starring Sarah Jessica Parker--making us all hum this catchy song 44 years after the film's release.
