Blazing Saddles (1974)
Madeline Kahn's hilarious parody of Marlene Dietrich's performance in DESTRY RIDES AGAIN (1939) (with german accent, bad singing and all) mixed perhaps with her role in Alfred Hitchcock's STAGE FRIGHT (1950), when she sings Cole Porter's 'Laziest Girl in Town'.
I'm So Tired
Here I stand, the goddess of Desire Set men on fire I have this power Morning noon and night it's drink and dancing Some quick romancing And then a shower Stage door johnnies always surround me They always hound me With one request Who can satisfy their lustful habits I'm not a rabbit I need some rest
I'm tired Sick and tired of love I've had my fill of love From below and above Tired, tired of being admired Tired of love uninspired Let's face it I'm tired
I've been with 1000's of men Again and again They promise the moon They always coming and going Going and coming And always too soon Right girls?
I'm tired, Tired of playing the game Ain't it a crying shame I'm so tired God dammit I'm exhausted
Lili Von Shtupp: Hello, cowboy. What's your name? Tex: Tex, ma'am! Lili Von Shtupp: "Texmam"? Tell me, Texmam, are you in show business? Tex: Well, no... Lilly von Schtupp: Then why don't you get your fwiggin' feet off the stage?
Tired, tired of playing the game Ain't it a crying shame I'm so tired
[Soldiers:] She's tired (She's tired) Sick and tired of love (Give her a break) She's had her fill of love (She's not a snake) From bellow and above (Can't you see she's sick) Tired (She's bushed) Tired of being admired (Let her alone) Tired of love uninspired (Get off the phone) She's tired (Don't you know she's pooped)
I've been with 1000's of men Again and again They sing the same tune They start with Byron and Shelly And jump on your belly And bust your ballon Aye!
Tired, tired of playing the game Ain't it a freakin' shame I'm so... Let's face it everything below the waist is kapput!
[Soldiers:] Tired!

In Yiddish and certain German dialects, to "Schtupp" means to commit the sex act.
When auditioning for the role of Lilly, Madeline Kahn was asked by Mel Brooks to pull up her skirt so he could see her legs. She was quite hesitant, being unclear of Brooks's intentions. Brooks actually just wanted to see if she had legs good enough to approximate Marlene Dietrich's famous "gams".
