I have a small question...during the "Anal Probe" episode, when Cartman sings:
"I love to sing-a, about the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a, about a sky of blue-a or tea for two-a, and bein' with you-a oh my oh my, and you!"
...where did this song (and voice) come from? I heard it came from an old cartoon. Which one?
I don't know the exact name of the cartoon. It looks like it's from the 30s, and there's this family of owls, all of whom are forced to play classical music. But there's this one little rebel owl who wants to be a Jazz Singer (like Owl Jolson), and at every juncture possible he busts off the "I love to sing-a" song. Eventually, he gets fed up with his authoritarian parents (who force him to sing "Speak to me Softly with Thine Eyes"), runs away from home, and enrolls in a local radio talent show hosted by Jack Bunny (?!). And other shit.
Bye now
The voice is Judy Garland. The cartoon is owls.

@ - Lula FortuneThis song was originally recorded by Al Jolson, for which he also received dubious publication rights. The character in the cartoon was "Owl Jolson".

The one with the owls. Enough.
McGurk... Yes, THAT McGurk. You die now.
Let's make it clear though, that it's a Judy Garland song. It originally had nothing to do with cartoons. Then Tex Avery used it, and now SP used it.

This little song was from "I Love to Singa", a Tex Avery short occasionally seen on Cartoon Network. It's about a family of owls who sing, and their little baby owl doesn't like how they sing, so he sings "I love to Singa! About the moona and the Junea and the springa. I love to Singa! About a sky of blue and a te-a or a two-a. And-a bein' with you! A-you-you-you."
Trey and Matt decided to cut it short.
The cartoon isn't funny, but hearing the exact same song coming out of Cartman's and Officer Barbrady's mouths are the most out-of-character things I have EVER heard on South Park, making it one of the funniest clips ever. ��� �hr�B
