JonI know the singing frog cartoon, too.
I think the song he sang & danced to was one of my favourites:
Hello, my Baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal. Send me a kiss by wire, honey my heart's on fire. If you refuse me honey you'll lose me, then you'll be all alone, so baby telephone, and tell me I'm your own.
A really catchy tune.
And yes, I agree about the reason why modern cartoons lack that subtle creative genius.
By the way, does anyone know a parody on Greensleeves about a man who inherits a music box which plays Greensleeves, so he buys a van and sells ice creams? this might be a British/Australian thing bu ice cream vans used to only play Greensleeves when I was a kid.
