The Reason I like You Gotta Have a Gimmick it is a fun and hyper song is to get female freinds involed ever since Hey Mr Producer!
The gimmicks vary from a trumpet to electric lights and a butterfly cape,
most recently Caren Fitzpatrick, Percy Figueroa, Claudia Ratzlaff are going to be Mazeppa, Electra and Tessie Tura in the film burning down the house
besides getting my friends involved I always think TV Characters
like in 1981 ABC promo for example Muriel, Joanie and Laverne there beach costumes remind me of something

And never fails to leave me howling on the floor of the theater.

the strippers supposed to be at mid age

 Miss Mazeppa  Alto (50-100)(If going by Caren Fitzpatrick's age), Burlesque belter who has a knack for the trumpet
 Electra  Mezzo (20-50)(If going by Percy Figueroa's
age) , Tired burlesque dancer who gets creative with lightbulbs
 Tessie-Tura  Mezzo (30-60)(If going by Claudia Ratzlaff's age), A former ballerina whos learned a less-refined dance

These women appeared in the my feature film Burning Down the House

Jill is going to be Mazeppa,Debbie is going to be Electra and Pat is going to be Tessie Tura
Mazeppa is dressed in a centurion costume and plays the trumpet In the 2008 revival she wore a Paul Revere tricorn and red, white, and blue in strategic places, Electra "is electrifying" and has a showgirl style costume that lights up with lots of little light bulbs (but the lights don't all come on a once) There are costumes found on Enlighted http://www.enlighted.com/pages/electra.shtml but in the 1962 film she was a Christmas Tree. and Tessie Tura is "more demurer" in a floaty ballet dress type costume. Preferably has floaty wings like a butterfly In the 2003 revival she is liking a swan from Swan Lake

It's my favorite too, but my three girlfriends Jill, Debbie and Patricia are singing it in the Variety Show this fall but in halloween costumes

Also I may do a production fo Side By Side by Sondheim next year in the summer with the same women in the fall Variety Show
