I'm studying Mae West for a music film class; part of this was cut because it was too sexual for the time. I wonder what they'd say if they saw today's movies 0__o

I absoulty love Mae West.I mean next to Bea Arthur she's true original.And I'm related to her,it's alittle known fact that she had a child early on in her stage career and that child was my Great-Grandfather.True story.

She's no Bessie Smith, but she's still wonderful.

Actually, the title of the song was a behind the scenes joke inserted by West through her songwriter friend Shelton Brooks. The Hays Office expressly forbid Paramount from stating that Lady Lou was a hooker. On the East Coast the term "Easy Rider" in that era meant "Pimp". The West Coast censors thought it was just a song about a girl who lost her jockey..... :)

This seems to be a mix of "I wonder where my Easy Rider's Gone" and "Yellow Dog Rag".



Wow! Her chorus girls are adorable! Love their riding outfits! :)
It's obvious she drew much from the influences of African American blues.

Its true.. In all of her movies she employed minorities and they were always treated as equals and friends.... Off and On the screen. We can still learn a lot from her even today
