It's a Scandal! It's a Outrage! is a song from the musical Oklahoma!

Travelling salesman Ali Hakim has just been pushed into marrying Ado Annie Carnes by her father, Andrew Carnes. Now feeling "trapped", Ali sings with the men of Oklahoma of how tricky and dirty girls are in getting husbands, using their fathers (with their guns) as backups. The song ends with the men declaring a revolution and then having their plans thwarted by their women, who come in and drag them away.

This song from the original stage musical was not included in the 1955 film version, but is used briefly as underscoring only for Ali's appearance.
