"Bluebirds in the Moonlight" (Beryl Davis, 1939)
Loading...
Uploaded by RReady555 on Aug 21, 2008
From Paramount's 1939 "Gulliver's Travels"--a full-length animated (rotoscoped) movie meant to compete with Disney. The song is also known as "Silly Idea".
BLUEBIRDS IN THE MOONLIGHT
There are bluebirds in the moonlight
Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
But that's how I feel when I'm with you
There are night owls in the daylight
Silly idea, night owls in the daylight
Or maybe my heart is saying hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Who is the one for me?
You -- that's what you've done to me
There are bluebirds in the moonlight
Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
But that's how I feel when I'm with you...

Musically this is so good I don't care if it came from Gullible's Babbles.

Heh, heh...I recall when Ralph Bakshi's animated "Lord of the Rings" came out--his rotoscoping techniques had been used 40 years earlier by the Fleishmans at Paramount.
I love this song, too--Beryl was just 15 years old at the session. The sound of the Novachord must have been startlingly novel in the 30's. ;)
