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.
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.
About the moona and the Junea and the Springa. About the eyes of blue and the tea for two come on and singa. Yeah this song lives in my head rent free.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
