[anemicroyaltea69]

YES!!!! I can't believe I found this!! I remember watching this when I was reeaaallllyyyy little, and the tune where they're in the jail cells, the "eedy eedy eddy oohhh" part has always stuck with me. I find myself randomly doing the tune, lol. I had on Look Who's Talking Too the other day and saw that clip in the movie again and thought I HAD to type in random words here until I found it....and now I did! lol Annnddd it's saved to my faves now, YAY. Thanks for the upload!

[pizzapussypresents]

It's actually the Tiger Rag in the last part of the cartoon, not Vine Street Drag.

[hoteldennis]

@pizzapussypresents Vine Street Drag was one of the Missourians ( Cab's band later) versions of the Tiger Rag.

[zombieroboy]

i never really knew what dancing was until i saw the intro to this video.

[rixman12]

umm, why did they depict Calloway as a dead walrus? oh well, fantastic cartoon though. wish they still made ones like this!

[andoc]

@rixman12 My thoughts exactly, I could never undestand that. Cab would have been great as a ghouly wolf or something more menacing instead of a Walrus. Still, this cartoon is great, one of the best Betty Boop shorts and the music is just fantastic.

[rixman12]

@andoc Ah well, if only they still made creepy 'toons like this, maybe kids today wouldn't be so soft. And who knows, maybe they would learn a few lessons, like DONT RUN AWAY FROM HOME OR GHOSTS OF CLOWNS AND WALRUSES WILL COME OUT OF A CAVE AND GET YA!!

When I was 5 or 6 (in the early 60's), I was HOT for Betty! In a way, I still am. In the beginning of this cartoon, it looks like Cab Calloway's legs are made of rubber.

[Huneiyue]

wow!! Betty Boop parents! :o

I had always thought that her parents were dead,

they seem from Germany...
