A song and dance is unnecessary, but not necessarily lots of work. A salesman may give you a whole song and dance about why his product is the best, implying his spiel is trumped up fluff, but not that it's lots of effort on his part. I don't think this says much about the level of effort beyond the fact that it's unnecessary in the first place.
