"The Alvin Show" (1961) - Pop Goes the Weasel

Amazing! Simply amazing!

This is one of the reasons I like old 50's and 60's cartoons so much; along with their innocence, the makers got away with a LOT of subtle references that would NEVER be allowed today!

In 1961, drug abuse wasn't as well-known as it would become. The 'seeing music' is a reference to LSD, which was still *legal* in 1961! There's a lot of opium references, too!

And yeah, the 'stranger danger' IS creepy!!!

They *definitely* don't make 'em like that anymore!!!

I had a God damn nightmare about this last night and im not even fucking lying.

...Now that was just scary.

all around the ebony bush the monkey chased the Diesel the monkey was an joke POP GOES THE DIESEL

at 1:47 second u see sam Merlin has all 5 Fingers....spooky for halloween ain't it

ok, can anyone say "Stranger EFFIN Danger?!" he said "I got a trick and I only show it to "special" customers?!" WTF?! And then he appears to drug him and he starts seeing things and getting chased by a "Weasel?" Really!? and "The Magic Pipes?!" LMBO! wooooow...well, innocent times...right?

lol this was so insane with that weird offkey harmonica music and Alvin hallucinating . . . I cracked up laughing at Dave spinning around and singing at 2:16. Wow . . .

that was ......  weird

I'd be so afraid of that big huge massive Dad in the blue. I'd run for my little Armenian life!

this song is soo catchy!! :D
