The best-known song from the film is "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend," is about a commentary on a society that values women for youth , money , sex appeal and the need for women to take care of themselves.

In survey............
Diamonds are no longer a girl's best friend, according to a new U.S. study that found three of four women would prefer a new plasma TV to a diamond necklace. The study found 77 percent of women surveyed would prefer a new plasma television to a diamond solitaire necklace and 56 percent would opt for a new plasma TV over a weekend vacation in Florida. from epochtime
