I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair
In the movie, nurse Nellie doesn't fall for Emile de Beque right away. As she shampoos her hair, she sings I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair. In the 1949 Broadway musical, Mary Martin washed her hair onstage for 8 performances a week. Of course, Nellie wasn't naked as she washed her hair onstage or in the movie.
In my version, nurse Nelson feels the same way about Jack de Coq, but for a different reason. Nelson has a history of falling for straight guys, and he's determined that it's not going to happen again. And, if he's washing his hair, we should see him in the shower, right?
Note: I only changed a few of the words in this song. For example, where the original words said "If you root for different teams," I changed it to "If you bat for different teams."

I'm enjoying these "South Pacific" posts. Can only imagine what you could do with "West Side Story." All those athletic gang members....naked and unashamed.
At times Broadway revives South Pacific with fleeting glimpses of nude beefcake.
As the they did for a version with Reba McIntyre, male sweet cheeks galore :-)
Perfect visual, thanks!
pretty silly
