Quiz
According to Paul McCartney, he and John Lennon were underage when the film was released, and sneaked into the theater by wearing fake mustaches to make themselves look older. The movie is one of their earlier musical influences. (This charming story, though much-circulated, is almost certainly untrue. The film did not carry an 'X' certificate, which would have prohibited it to anyone under the age of 16, and, in any case, Lennon was well past that age by the time the film opened in Britain).

Blooper
In Toby Miller's commentary in the 2006 DVD release of "The Girl Can't Help It", he erroneously says that Little Richard is singing "The Girl Can't Help It" in his appearance with his band in the nightclub scene. Little Richard is in fact singing his hit titled "Ready Teddy" in that scene.

...and follows it up with a shortened version of the title track.

Citazioni
Tom Miller: You don't want a career?
Jerri Jordan: I just want to be a wife. Have kids. But everyone figures me for a sexpot! No one thinks I'm equipped for motherhood!

Ultimate look at classic rock in a spoofy, campy funny musical

Wanna see when Little Richard(She's Got It-Ready-Teddy & Girl Can't Help It), Gene Vincent(BeBop A Lula),The Platters(You'll Never Know), and Fats Domino(Blue Monday)perform their hits live as the actually sang them in 1956? Wanna see campy Jayne Mansfied at her sexiest, wittiest best? Paradoies, sight gags and clever writing make the rocker musical an even better comedy, which has stood the test of time. Jayne bubbles over, while Tom(Ewell) bubbles under and somehow in the end they both bubble up to the surface and find happiness, kids.......... If this isn't enough Calander Girl Julie London does a sultry. teasing version of her hit Cry Me A River that will drive any man to drink. Check the cars out, I once owned one of those. See this movie twice to fully appreciate the music and catch all the gags, clever lines and parodies.
