A little something for the vintage enthusiasts today, particularly those who are in love with the Roaring Twenties, and especially the younger set whose post-80’s childhoods might not have blessed their formative years with Annie.

I’m not a big fan of the “discomfort humor” that’s gotten so popular in comedies today, but Carol Burnett is one of those actresses who’s really, really good at blowing her stack in an awesomely hilarious way. Here, she’s a perpetually smashed flapper who somehow wound up in charge of an orphanage, belting out her torment at romantic frustration and her dingy-but-still-trying bedroom and the endless taunts from little girls, little girls, all while consoling herself with a small ocean of bathtub gin. I have no doubt that some stressed-out parent, somewhere out there, has adopted this song as their anthem.

Bonus video from the same flick: Tim Curry’s sleaze let loose in a Depression-era kids’ movie! And note Bernadette Peters’ fabulous dress.
