Did I mention that " Betty Boop" was originally an adult's cartoon?Īnd I'm still waiting for Cyndi Lauper to fulfill her destiny by making a Betty Boop -type record. In the song, Calloway references "kicking the gong around," meaning smoking opium. Plus, you get Louis Armstrong, and Calloway's signature hit "Minnie The Moocher," a version of which w as just featured in the " Forbidden Zone" soundtrack we posted recently. The other Calloway recordings on this CD are also from Betty Boop cartoons." I find the Fleischer versions better than Calloway’s official studio recordings for 78 rpm. When Betty Boop was introduced, Kane promptly sued Fleischer and Paramount Publix Corporation stating they. Cab Calloway’s two songs from “The Old Man of the Mountain” (1933) that finish this CD. Finding fame early on, Helen Kane often included this baby style into her music. there are two Helen Kane songs (“That’s My Weakness Now”, “Do Something”). Fanny Brice singing, “I’m An Indian,” plus Maurice Chevalier’s “Hello Beautiful” from the cartoon “Betty Boop’s Rise to Fame” (1934) wherein Betty imitates those stars on those songs. Her “hot” theme song, sung by male vocals, began several Betty Boop cartoons. But, many of the non-Betty tracks are from Fleischer Studios cartoons. Totally essential.Ī helpful Amazon reviewer notes " not all tracks are Betty herself (voiced by Mae Questel). In the pre-Code era, th is risque, adult cart o on was often built around musical sequences, and this wonderful collection presents not just songs and musical segments from the cartoons, but even a couple of songs from Helen Kane, the original squeaky-voiced singer with the New Yawk accent that inspired the Boop character. But Miss Boop kept the indomitable flapper spirit going, providing a link, via appearances by novelty jazz legend Cab Calloway, to the emerging Harlem hipster era that would come to define mid-century cool culture. The Fleischer Brothers studio wouldn't introduce Betty Boop to the silver screen until the 1930s, when the Great Depression was throwing a wet blanket over the flapper culture of the Roaring 20s. I would wager to say that the flapper was the first hipster. They had one of the first extensively chronicled slang-uages, even preceding the jazz hep-cat culture. By the 1920s, the fun-loving young women known as "flappers" threw all that mess out the window and started jitterbugging to the new sounds of hot jazz, smoking and drinking and engaging in other such un-lady-like activities, all while wearing little more than short dresses. I recently saw a museum exhibit of the almost bondage-like garb of the day: tight corsets, thick layers of clothes and padding, long skirts that killed thousands of women by getting caught in machinery, wheels, etc. Women in the Victorian era had to endure not just social/political restrictions (no swimming allowed!), but physical ones as well. But there's more to this perennially popular cartoon character than her famous flapper look and squeaky voice exclaiming her "boop boop be doop" catchphrase.
