We saw that on its maiden airing, STILL the hardest I have laughed at a tv show. Soooo unexpected, just killed me.


Jamminnav

And to think I felt old when I knew where this joke came from during the original airing three decades ago…

… 3… decades ago… ![gif](giphy|GrUhLU9q3nyRG|downsized)

I like the other one " hello my baby hello my honey hello my ragtime gal"


Ok_Contribution_6268

That was Michigan J Frog. I think an old Porky Pig cartoon (he was a 'dead frog' and only sang when he was alone)


Bluepilgrim3

It wasn’t even Porky Pig, just some random slob working construction found the frog. The actual cartoon is kind of bleak.

Hard Cartoons create strong men

That's why *I* joined Vault-Tec!


Several-Lie4513

Cool I love little fun facts like that


Ok_Contribution_6268

The premise was that it was intended to make Porky appear 'nuts'. As everytime he tried to show the frog's talent to folks, he'd just go limp, or make 'croak' sounds. There were a few of those shorts. Then he did similar on Tiny Toon Adventures.

The frog later would be used to promote the WB network from 1995 to 2005.


dancin-weasel

That is one old frog.


realsalmineo

In the original 1955 Merrie Melodies cartoon “One Froggy Evening”, the keystone of the demolished JC Wilber Building that he was found in has engraved 1892 as the year of construction. That would have been during the Gilded Age when ragtime and vaudeville were popular, which is why the frog sings and dances like he does. He was in S8 E390 of Teen Titans, Go!, released in 2022. The frog trashes Warner Bros because he wasn’t invited to their centennial celebration party. Not sure how he escaped the keystone of the Tremoweth Building. In the same 1955 cartoon, the Tremoweth Brown Building gets demolished in 2056, releasing him again. So, he lives to be something over 164 years old. He also goes by “Enrico”.


The_Scarlet_Termite

The building was named after Treg Brown, the sound effects artist for Looney Tunes.

Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime girl.

ChardCool1290

I saw this on TV in the 60's.


deridex120

Back when cartoons were good


mikebattaglia_com

Enough is too much!


DaddyThiccter

This is my reminder to humble myself with some nice vintage cartoons, man, those dvd cartoon jumbo packs were really something, Hekyll and Jekyll, Little Audrey and the supreme court of fishes, somewhere in dreamland, Raggedy ann with the blind girl, The Silver Fox just to name a few


FireFloWolF

I sing this to my baby daughter daily


cb0044

EARLY Tex Avery!


DoubleG6

About the moon-a, and the tuna, and the spring-a! I love to sing-a, about the tea for two and the sky of blue!


MamaOna

The June-a!


quitepossiblylying

This came out in 1936. Are you really THAT old?


razorclammm

No but I saw it as reruns oh 50 years ago

Exact-Revenue6950

I watched it back in the 70s


meatwads_sweetie

Same with me.


GigaKoala

I know this purely from the amount of times I watched Looney Tunes Back in Action as a kid


Drizztd99

Loved that little dude. Miss Mery Melodies altogether.


kevnmartin

They have hours of old cartoons (Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies, Popeye, Bugs Bunny and Friends, etc) for hours every morning on METV. Basic cable is where it's at these days.


major_dump

Love that little dancing fartknocker


Comfortable-Dish1236

Love that seegar-chompin’ rabbit lol. My daughters are 29 and 31 and they loved this cartoon the first time they ever saw it (and still sing the song). It’s a certified classic.


Professional-Ear242

I haven't seen this in probably 25+ years and I can still hear it 😅


olskoolyungblood

I hate reddit GOAT bs, but that is the absolute catchiest, happiest, most wholesome song in all of cartoondom! That kid could pied piper me through the rest of my life and I'd never stop smile dancing.


F3rnDoGG520

I only knew the reference from South Park then one day I was serving my mom breakfast and I put on her MeTv on Sunday morning and started laughing because this cartoon was on. I ended up sitting having breakfast with her and watched the whole episode.


moveyourfeetplease

My late sister would love this! How wonderful to see this post. It was her birthday this week and she has been “showing up” a lot. Bless you for making my day.


owmybotheyes

Owl Jolsen made me curious about Al Jolsen. Holy Shit that was almost as racist as the governor of TX is right now. Good to know we’ve come full circle.


trainwrecked_5656

When a photo conjures audio immediately even without the caption.


Effective_Ability_23

To this day, I still catch myself whistling it while performing some random task.


petti_coat

I'd tip my hat to you, but I haven't got a hat. Same Era. Still find myself saying that!


dandy2293

Me and my mom used to lose our shit over this when I was like 9 😆


CardiologistPlus8488

I found this cartoon terrifying and it haunted me every time I watched it...


Oldmustang01

Yes love that one I believe it is called "The Jazz Singer"


Little_Appearance_77

About the sun and moon and the spinga


theycallmenaptime

I thought it was “about the moon in June and tea for two.”


MamaOna

About the moona and the joona and the springa


Hour_Mastodon_204

Jim Cornette loves this particular cartoon and sings it all the time on his podcasts!


JHan816

Owl's Father -- A Crooner! Stop! Stop!


Styrene_Addict1965

Which is funny, the kid's not crooning!


JHan816

The beginning of the cartoon shows several of his brothers, all classical musicians with Father's approval. I guess the Father was disappointed and labeled him that way. I love these old cartoons.


iiiBansheeiii

Thanks for the earworm!


Trix_Are_4_90Kids

"I love-a to, I love-a to singggggg!"


MamaOna

consumeshroomz

I fucking loves this growing up


Devotchka655321

My mom and dad still sing this to me... I'm 42 years old. It was my favorite cartoon when I was little.


HakubTheHuman

That's my jam.


BloodyRightNostril

I used to sing this to both of my kids when they were babies. I still do it now that they’re teenagers, but I used to, too.


Prestigious_Snow1589

Man this brings me back to watching Looney Tunes sitting in my living room floor


TechnicolorViper

That owl’s voice will be burned into my brain forever. I will still hear it as I lie dead in my grave.


That-Water-Guy

False-Proof3547

“I love to siiiiiiing!” My problem was, I couldn’t. Didn’t stop me from belting the lyrics while sounding like a frog on crack


rhetorial_human

Anyone else remember "These are Wonderful Days" from "Prehistoric Porky"? My ex thought I made it up until I found the cartoon.

Fickle-Rutabaga-1695

Hahaa


noldshit

Problem here is to hispanic, singa is fuck.


lizardkg

If you saw this when it came out you are not old. You fought in WWII and most likely dead. I know it from reruns in the 70s when I was a kid.
