My second post!
Around sixty years ago there was a cartoon which showed up on Detroit TV, which I have been trying to identify and hopefully find, and nobody seems to have a clue. I've looked at many "circus cartoons" and nary a peep of it after all this effort. All of the "principals" involved in these local Detroit shows have long since died, and when they were alive there was no internet (and/or I didn't have computer skills yet) and I had no way to find them and ask.
This cartoon could have shown up on Milky's Movie Party, or Sagebrush Shorty, or one or two other shows I've long-forgotten...perhaps even a little later on the Johnny Ginger show or something. But, I digress. I actually doubt it was as "recent" as Johnny Ginger, pretty sure it has to be in the 1950s.
I don't even remember much about the cartoon anymore, and I can only give sketchy details...
There was somebody (a female, I think, 99.703384171¼% sure) singing a song with lyrics which sounded like "Boy, boy, boy..." at the time (possibly testing the limits of my vocabulary if it was THAT long ago, at the time), which immediately segued into a drum-heavy fast jazz tune while animals and people ran around the outside perimeter of the circus tent. Yeah, that's it...much later along I even thought the singing lady could have been Betty Boop, but at first and second glance I didn't find any of her cartoons that resembled this.
Does anything like this ring a bell with anybody?
