Name That Toon - UPSIDE DOWN

[happyheathen]

OK -

here's the deal - poster lists names of song(s), respondents list the WB cartoon(s) in which the song was used.
Got it?

Sample: 'Michigan Rag' - 'One Froggy Evening' (it was the basis of the frog's name).

we will not mess with songs everyone should know (including our non-US correspondents). these are such as 'the lady in red', jimmy cracked corn', 'dixie' (proper name:'In Dixie's Land').etc.
(I WAS appalled that someone did NOT know 'Shuffle Off to Buffalo', but that is another matter...)

OK:

'Blues in the Night'

'It's Magic'

and, sense I cannot place it in a WB 'toon, this is a 'look it up for the hell of it - 'Teddy Bear's Picnic)

One line of "Blues In The Night" is sung in "Coal Black" and "Fifth Column Mouse"(sort of)

That's all I know.

"Teddy Bear's Picnic" was used in a Tiny Toon Adventures short with Elmyra and Chuck Jones' Bear family. "D-uh...next week, Pa's taking me hang-gliding!" Freberg reprised his role as Junior, but IMHO Frank Welker's take on Pa was too high and nasal. I would've cast the deeper-voiced Jim Cummings....

I was thinking classics, but, if 'Picnic' made an appearance in TT, let's include them...

Jack -

Correct! it also appeared in one of the Porky/Daffy 'toons (Boobs in the Woods, I think) as 'My mama done told me, when I was in kneepants...'

'It's Magic' - come on! used with title intact in 2 'toons - same lyrics!!! Hint: sung by Bugs...

[Jack]

Bowery Bugs is one.

Carrots are devine

Correct! see also 'Rabbit Every Monday' for extended lyrics.

anyone else care to name tunes?

[Jack]

In what other cartoon can you hear the music to the song sung in "Robin Hood Makes Good?"

[Matthew Hunter]

Well, I know "Blues In the Night' is sung by the Cab Calloway rooster in "Swooner Crooner." "It's Magic", appears in "Rabbit Every Monday", but it also shows up in "Transylvania 6-5000', where Bugs makes up magic words such as "abracapocus" and sings them to that tune.

Now it's YOUR turn!

"Am I Blue"
"Open the door, Richard!"
"Sonata waltz'

[Jon Cooke]

I know "Blues in the Night" also appears in "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid" ("A buzzard is two-faced..."). The Porky and Daffy cartoon where it appeared was "My Favorite Duck" (Daffy kept singing it, while Porky kept singing "Moonlight Bay").

"Am I Blue"
"Open the door, Richard!"
"Sonata waltz'

Of the three:

I can recognize 'Am I Blue', but cannot place it - Bugs in drag, maybe? (this is a 'torch' song, for those who know the term, but not the song)

I found a snippit of 'open' at towerrecords.com (I always root for the home team - Tower was founded in SF in 1968 (eat your hearts out...)). Can't place it, either.

'Sonata Waltz' - cannot find a trace - know where I can hear it?

The opening to Beanstalk Bunny uses it! And don't forget, when Daffy meets "Giant" Elmer, the orchestration also is heard!:p

[Jack]

Yes, Crazy Tom is right! The main song from "Robin Hood Makes Good" was used in "Beanstalk Bunny!" That is why I always seem to think "Beanstalk Bunny" is based on Robin Hood, even though it's based on Jack and The Beanstalk.

It's sung by a bottle of bluing in "The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon".

I think the same gag is used in another cartoon. Possibly September in the Rain?

Just guessing...

And go figure...this is one of my all-time favorites. Besides, I think Chuck Jones was so clever in making a giant Elmer Fudd.

The giant Elmer Fudd might actually have more intelligence that the 1943 giant (See Jack-Wabbit...):rolleyes:

A giant Elmer Fudd was a good idea. It was interesting to see the giant act as a common character.

You can hear a few bars of it in "It's Hummertime", when the cat is preparing the balloon.
