Young Frankenstein - _Putting On the Ritz_?

[Much of the cast in _Magnolia_ singing their parts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8780w9DqQPE) in Aimee Mann’s _Wise Up_. One of the more unique needle drops, to be sure. When I first viewed it at the time it was released I thought it was a slightly unweildy conceit, but on repeated viewings of it and the film over the years I’ve come to have a more favourable view of it.  
But don’t get me started on the frog drop, though.
