Much of what makes Citizen Kane so innovative is that it dabbles a bit in every genre. It's a great drama, it's historical, satrical, a love story, a comedy, an art film and it even has a moment of animation and, in this scene, a musical number!
"You buy a bag of peanuts in this town, they write a song about you!" Kane gloats.
Dancing girls sing the praises of Charlie Kane in "There Is A Man," the employees cheer on. Another moment parodied by The Simpsons.
