Joe and Jerry Decide to Be Girls, Explained：flip your wig
Poliakoff has a three-week band job in Florida and no one to fill it. When Joe and Jerry offer themselves, the answer is blunt: the act needs two girls on sax and bass, so "you gotta be girls." Their reaction is less outrage than arithmetic — dye the hair, borrow the clothes, pick names, get paid.
あらすじ
In Poliakoff's office in Chicago, Joe and Jerry hear about a three-week job with Sweet Sue's all-girl band in Miami. The catch: the band plays sax and bass and needs two women, not two men. Broke and snowed in, the pair talk it over, borrow clothes and wigs, and reinvent themselves as Josephine and Geraldine to catch the train to Florida.

We could've had three weeks in Florida, all expenses paid.「Joe and Jerry Decide to Be Girls」を読み解く
What's really going on
On the surface it is a comic fix: a band job in Florida needs two women, and Joe and Jerry decide to become them. Underneath, it is about survival — they are broke, it is snowing, and this is the only work in town. So the film plays the gag straight: wigs, padding, new names, a train south. "You're the wrong shape," they are told, which is the engine of everything that follows. Jerry's panic — "No, we couldn't" — is the last honest objection before the disguise becomes a life. Joe sells it like any other hustle: in their world, a job is a job.
Theme
IdentityJoe and Jerry literally become Josephine and Geraldine, trading their names and looks for a shot at the Florida job.
MoneyThe whole scheme comes down to a paycheck: three weeks in Florida, expenses paid, and a few dollars a man for the Urbana dance.

The saxophone runs off with a Bible salesman, and the bass fiddle gets herself pregnant.Poliakoff's excuse for the empty slots: his musicians keep quitting for absurd reasons, so the band is short a sax and a bass right before the Florida trip.
Well, we might as well all slash our wrists unless we round up two dames by this evening.Black humor about the deadline: the band is desperate enough that finding two women tonight is treated as a matter of life and death.
He's got an empty stomach and it's gone to his head.Said of someone acting strange on an empty stomach; it reads as a joke about how hunger can look like drunkenness.
We get a couple of secondhand wigs, a little padding here and there, we call ourselves Josephine and Geraldine!The plan in one line: cheap wigs, stuffing for curves, and brand-new stage names. It is the moment the disguise stops being a joke and becomes a scheme.
You're the wrong shape. Good-bye!Blunt and funny: the rejection is not about talent but body type, because the act is a girl's band. It is the door that forces the disguise.
このシーンについての質問
Why does the band need two women to begin with?
Sweet Sue's act is a girl's band, and it is short a saxophone and a bass for the Florida engagement, so the replacements have to be women. Talent alone does not get Joe and Jerry the job.
Do Joe and Jerry really go through with it?
Yes. They borrow clothes from the chorus girls, buy secondhand wigs, pad their figures, and introduce themselves as Josephine and Geraldine. The disguise is what gets them on the road to Florida.
How do they get to the gig?
Joe talks Nellie into lending him her car by asking what she is doing that night, then announcing he will not be needing it. They drive off toward Urbana for the one-night stand, a hundred miles in the snow.
What does "get outta here" mean here?
It is not literally "leave." Poliakoff uses it as a disbelieving brush-off, close to "don't be ridiculous," when Joe and Jerry volunteer themselves for a job meant for women.
