Judy Garland's character's name, Ginger Gray, is a tribute to Ginger Rogers, who played the part on Broadway when the character was named Molly Gray. Ginger Rogers wrote that one night onstage in the play, her costar Allen Kearns accidentally said: "Ginger, I love you" instead of "Molly". The mistake got such a huge laugh from the audience that they decided to continue to do that in subsequent performances, pretending it was a mistake. (Source: "Ginger: My Story".

Hi ya Church, hows your steeple?

So long Polly, watch your crackers!
The white guitar Ginger has in the "Bidin' My Time" number doesn't appear to have any strings in some shots.
