For anyone curious about the groovy opening Bollywood number:

In a lot of ways, John Waters’ early work cleared a path for so many other filmmakers and concepts. Think of all the things he did for shock value in Pink Flamingos, Dangerous Living, Multiple Maniacs that resemble the routine in TV and film today.
