Can you imagine the effect this animation had on people who watched it in the theaters back then? People viewing it now find it bizarre and some find it disturbing. I find it to be total genius and unsurpassed creativity.
I just love Cab Calloway and saw him the other night in Stormy Weather on TCM. Once again I was reminded of his out of this world charisma and talent. RIP, Cab. Miss you.

@@abelis644 Haha no, I doubt it. Tough back then. Mr. Calloway was a friend of my great-uncle, Claude, who owner various nightclubs in the US and in Colombia 🇨🇴.
"He taught her how to kick the gong around." Just marvelous when you know that, "Kick the gong around," was slang for smoking pot. A relevant bit is that the underground name for pot smokers back then was "vipers."
No way. In "Kicking the Gong Around" (different song) and even this one mentioning Chinatown, China was the source of opium, which is used to make heroin. China is NOT associated with weed--ooooooooof...🤦♀️

R I P Cab Callaway 1907-1994,What a career he had since the Early twentieth century to the Early 1990s 🎷🎸🎺🎹🥁🎶Love Minnie the Moocher ,Betty Boop at her earliest ❤
Jazz was spread in the '30s via 'Cartoon music', none more so than via the fever dreams of the Fleischer brothers. Tho Carl Stalling would bend shoulder to wheel w the Warner Bros classics later via his appropriation of Raymond Scott compositions which were, weirdly enough, considerd Jazz at that time. I mean, what else was 'Powerhouse' but post-Dixieland meets Lizst on 'shrooms?
We had a roommate and we called him minny and he would get pissed every once in a while and say why you guys call me that like the blues brother's version when Cab sang poor Mim poor Mim😂
Can anyone else say that they don't know were they heard this classic and what performer/band My dad got me into blues my mom has this cartoon on vhs and I I have Blue Brothers movie my mom is a Betty Boop girl
Eran animaciones impresionantes todo era dibujado una de las mejores✨
Claramente, es un muy buen regalo de una muy buena amiga y colega 🤘🏽
True.
I love the idea of making a wrong turn and some transparent walrus just starts spitting bars.
It's a hilarious narrative
Hope I do that one day
coo coo ca choo
Same here!
Yes!
Who needs drugs when you have Cab Calloway and Betty Boop?!
@@cambodennis The only way to watch and listen to Betty Boop and Cab Calloway is while hîgh
Totally true😂
@@cambodennis I guess you didn't hear the Reefer Man by Cab Calloway
Never realized what true gems these cartoons were. Incredible music and true works of art and creativity. Still stand unrivaled today!!!

Did you notice that some of the dance steps are ones we’ve seen in modern times? Some things don’t change.
@@BlackSeranna that is not distubing
I just love Cab Calloway and saw him the other night in Stormy Weather on TCM. Once again I was reminded of his out of this world charisma and talent. RIP, Cab. Miss you.
I wish I coulda seen him live.
what!? cab calloway he died noo😿
@@izzyt1626yea me too
i wel follow is videos of cad calloway and see is videos♥️
@@gigipena3988 murió en el 96
I grew up in the 50s and 60s. Our cartoons introduced us to such great music. From classical to hot jazz.
This reminds me of the performance in the Blues Brothers. He still had it decades later.
Essa cena é epica ❤
An era where talent was boundless and creativity knew no ends
Music film animation filled with invention and strangeness
Surrealism was still stirring things up and adding to all the arts
A visually exciting time with endless possibilities to the open minded
Many thanks for posting 📫 ❤
Incredible song by Calloway, and incredible animation, especially when you realize those old cartoons were done cell by cell! A masterpiece.
it is rotoscoped
still impressive
I had a Betty Boop tape growing up in the 90s that had this on it. Freaked me out as a kid, but I admire it now since it's one of the first cartoons
Insane work by the animators with how little tools they had to work with back in the day
This is FAR from being "one of the first cartoons".
BTW - there can only be ONE 'first' in anything.
I'm a grown man and these still freak me out a little. The fact that anyone came up for the idea of these visuals is nuts.
In the 1940s Cab Calloway babysat my dad and uncle in Louisville KY. Pictures to prove!
Wow! Wish he had baby sat me. Sigh.
That's pretty cool!
I hope he didn't scare your Dad & uncle with creepy cartoo ns!!!😂
@@abelis644 Haha no, I doubt it. Tough back then. Mr. Calloway was a friend of my great-uncle, Claude, who owner various nightclubs in the US and in Colombia 🇨🇴.
that's brill, man. he's a moral giant to me.
That's wild. That'd be like having Snoop Dogg or something as your babysitter
I remember seeing Cab Calloway at Belmont Park in the 80’s. He loved to go to the track.
"He taught her how to kick the gong around." Just marvelous when you know that, "Kick the gong around," was slang for smoking pot. A relevant bit is that the underground name for pot smokers back then was "vipers."
No way. In "Kicking the Gong Around" (different song) and even this one mentioning Chinatown, China was the source of opium, which is used to make heroin. China is NOT associated with weed--ooooooooof...🤦♀️
Homie, he took her town to China town, kicking the gong around means smoking opium. Way worse than pot lol
The Chinese gong is fancy word for opium. It’s also why we call Asian people yellow, because Chinese were stereotyped opium attics
wiki ses yes @@noirekuroraigami2270
And the line about "Smoky being cokey?' Another drug reference!
Cab was such a talent.
Before LSD, there was Betty Boop!
I think of two things when I hear this;
-Calloway during the Blues Brothers
-Peter Griffin’s bad breath in car song
The music always reminds me of a Jazz Funeral in New Orleans.
I loved the ol’ Betty Boop cartoons!
Same he does in Blues Brothers!! Watch it.
These cartoons are priceless, THANK YOU!!
They don't make them like that any more. Good stuff.
I almost fell off the chair when the kittens drained the momma dry. rofl.
Damn to me it was straight up creepy if not disturbing as almost all of this is… As it’s supposed to be.
This could've been some crazy nightmare fuel
Well it inspired Cuphead sooo... It fueled it.
They drank a lot of absinthe back then.
What were these cartoonists smoking back then
@@JosephSullivan-v2f I doubt anything. Some people are really imaginative
Was one of my father’s favourites, he would have turned 100 next week
Cab was the original Sportinlife in Porgy and Bess. So worth seeing!
Oh wow. I never knew
Now I know where Michael Jackson got his dance moves. Cab Calloway inspirational.
I'm pretty sure it was James Brown....also Callaway wasn't even top dancer
But who knows
The best rendition on youtube
The animation is so underrated

Animacion impecable y grandiosa! Los pioneros de las animaciones magistrales contemporaneas!!
1930s cartoons were nightmare fuel.
There's my favorite girl Betty ❤❤❤❤
I saw a little bit of this in one of the “Look who’s Talking” movies.
If this be my nightmare...what a trip man...😅😅😅😅
Ese tipo de caricaturas me dan nostalgia 😰 jaja
Nostalgia, yo ni era nacido cuando esa caricatura salio XD

Me dio poquito de nostalgia. Las veía cuando era niña.
Muchas gracias :)
😂 how old are you?!
BTW, kickin' the gong is old slang for smoking opium.
This song is strangely satisfying!
Wild. 30s cartoons look like the people where high af when they made it.
😂 What the heck did I just watch lol
Chistoso parcero saludos
Saludos y gracias
Hay era muy buena la animación 🤩
Para ser la época claro que si 😉
Este videíto lo tiene todo, todo todito.
Выражение «Home sweet Home» появилось именно так. Я верю в это. Я хочу в это верить 😁
How Truly Fun, You See!
I so love thissssssssssssssss !💀☠☠☠☠☠
0:44 oh 😮
Kicking the gong around means snorting cocaine
El blues, música ancestral
Que miedo y que genial es
A time when cartoons had blatant references to cocaine and most of the writers were doing it.
So good
