Saturday morning #toon time with a bonus #cheese clip with Cab Calloway and Al Jolson...The jam once again is from Megan Lynch (@spidra) and this is her intro from her bandcamp site...Only thing from myself are the video links
Sometimes known as "I Love to Singa", this tune made a big impression on me (and others, apparently) in the Tex Avery-directed Merrie Melodie "I Love to Singa" (1936). It was written for use in the film "The Singing Kid" (1936), in which it is sung by Al Jolson and Cab Calloway. In the cartoon, it is sung by Owl Jolson, a one-off character who has enjoyed newfound popularity in recent years. The lyrics make reference to Major Bowes who hosted one of the many radio talent shows that were popular in the '30s.
