This classic Max Fleisher cartoon is based on the Johnny Mercer song featured in Bing Crosby's Sing Your Sinners (1938). Crosby plays a easy going track tout who won't accept responsibility. His young brother was played by Donald O' Connor, The song is featured in a ministrel type sketch with Crosby in blackface, playing an old man singing to O'Connor. Crosby also did the song with Johnny Mercer for Decca.

[chubbylemons]

I'm only 19 and I grew up with these old, classic cartoons. I'm now wondering if this is a satire of Sing You Sinners. Anyone know?

[saishuuheiki]

i'm only 22 and this is one of the cartoons i grew up with, this brings back a lot of memmories and i still quote it in my head to this day haha

[LoveUsagi]

[theatrecorner]

[LoveUsagi]

[mynametaken]

[JegXIII]

Wow, I remember this. This cartoon is way older than me...WAY OLDER!

[mgelormino]

I have not seen this cartoon in 50 years, it was one of my favorites and the animation and song is a classic. Thanks for posting this to you tube

[ericstefani]

Wow! I LOVE this cartoon, animation voice sounds like OLIVE OIL or a 'live action kid' that played on the POPEYE cartoons . . . probably because it's MAX FLEISCHER! WOW! WOW! WOW!

[scorpiooooooh]

Spongebob has nothing compared to classics like this.

[fromthesidelines]

This was originally released by Paramount in 1938- NTA {formerly U.M. & M. TV Corp.} acquired it for television in 1956, eliminating the Paramount and "In Technicolor" logos and title cards. The music was arranged and conducted by Sammy Timberg (with an assist from Winston Sharples).

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

I remember that Flesicher short when it was from a Mickey Mouse VHS tape. It came right after "Farm Foolery", but the opening titles were fake but they put the "Noveltoon" title there that it was from the Famous era and goes right directly to "Small Fry" which was a Flesicher Color Classic, not the Noveltoon short, but it has a theatrical Paramount end title from the Famous era. I haven't seen that in ages.

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

Other cartoons on that Mickey Mouse VHS tape are "The Mad Doctor", "Minnie Yoo-Hoo" and "Farm Foolery", a Screen Songs short.

[Hopedeclined]

@HomeoftheGoodGuys The VHS copy my kids & I had in the late 80s had 'The Mad Doctor', 'Minnie Yoo-Hoo' and 'Farm Foolery' (altho it was called something else on the tape), as well as "The Cobweb Hotel', another Fleischer 'toon

[rakkav]

I never thought I'd see this again! This was one of my childhood favorites, growing up in Toledo/Maumee, Ohio!
