Don't be fooled by the bland title "Personal Hygiene," this is one of the wackiest old films ever made: the topic of personal hygiene is transformed into a musical production! Produced by the United States Army, this film’s main character is Homer, a GI who doesn’t wash often enough and begins to offend his fellow barrack mates with his smell. In an effort to get him to change his hillbilly ways, they change the lyrics of old folk songs and serenade Homer with such ditties as “Wash Your Socks,” What Are You Going to Do With a Dirty Soldier?” and “Come a fly-yi-yippee-i-ay,” a song about attracting disease-carrying flies. The Army used this film as a way to encourage cleanliness among their GIs so that the men could stay healthy and comfortable.
