Hips, Hips, Hooray! is a 1934 slapstick comedy film starring Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey, Ruth Etting, Thelma Todd, and Betty Grable.

The film features Etting singing "Keep Romance Alive" and "Keep On Doin' What You're Doin'" by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. ("Keep On Doin' What You're Doin'" was originally intended for The Marx Brothers' 1933 film, Duck Soup.)

Todd stars as the owner of a beauty supply business. Wheeler and Woolsey convince her to hire them as salesman to promote her new flavored lip stick, and hilarity ensues.
