all-singing, all-dancing

All-singing, all-dancing: state of the art, perhaps a little conceited, best new thing. Popularised by the movie Fight Club (1999), starring Brad Pitt, David Norton, Meatloaf and Helena Bonham-Carter, directed by David Fincher and based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk.

We are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

all-singing, all-dancing, all-features-included

An exaggeration that means "Everyone or everything you could possibly think about is here."

The battle was an all-singing, all-dancing, all-features-included multinational aerial showdown for the ages!
