A Merrie Melody released on June 8, 1935.<\/p>\n<p>Oh happy day! The riverboat&#8217;s a coming to town! You&#8217;re not going to want to miss this! It&#8217;s one of those showboat riverboats that promises music, singing, and an opportunity to pelt performers with produce. Captain Benny introduces us to our conductor for the evening, the world&#8217;s most popular orchestra leader. Which by my definition means Porky P- HOLY CRAP! It IS Porky! Same design and everything! Except, it can&#8217;t be. This short isn&#8217;t listed as part of Porky&#8217;s filmography, and no audience would dare pelt him with tomatoes lest I slice all their middle toes off and replace them with their thumbs. (I&#8217;ll throw the toes away.)<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ll still file this short in my Porky file, just in case anybody else thinks the Paul Whiteman pig is who I wish he was. He starts up the band, but there&#8217;s somebody constantly screwing up. Look, I&#8217;m sorry, but you just can&#8217;t have that in music. Otherwise it&#8217;s just cacophony. I give my complete support in Mr. Pig malleting you.\u00a0 But the screw-up refuses to own up to his own shortcomings, and decides to stick that curly tail in an electrical socket. (At least, I think this is the same guy.) This really accelerates the performance, and the spastic conducting makes the &#8220;William Tell Overture&#8221; twice as fast. Boo! I like that piece? Where am I supposed to hear it now? &#8220;The Band Concert?&#8221; Okay!<\/p>\n<p>Music&#8217;s done. Now for the singing I promised you. It&#8217;s amateur night, so we get an excuse to be honest. First off, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2013\/11\/26\/2013-11-26-i-havent-got-a-hat-html\/\">Miss Cud<\/a> doing opera. Hm. Uh-huh. Yep. Gong her. We won&#8217;t miss much. The performer remover hook yanks her right out of her clothes. (Does the Hayes code know about this?) Next, Beans&#8217;s effeminate father recites poetry. This also kinda sucks really bad, so lets get rid of him too. I mean, sure, he was better than that cow, but I&#8217;d hate to give him first prize when I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s something better coming along. (If you think you&#8217;ve seen the crowd before, you<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2021\/12\/12\/shake-your-powder-puff\/\"> have<\/a> if you&#8217;ve read my posts chronologically.)<\/p>\n<p>The next contestant may look a bit dumb, but he is smart enough to rig things in his favor. He sends Benny off to do&#8230; something, then hides the gong in his pants. Can&#8217;t eject what can&#8217;t technically fail. But, yeesh, I thought Doughtery only ever played Porky. Not so, and the crowd isn&#8217;t too pleased either. I think, anyway. Their jeers kinda sound like laughter half the time. But it must be hate, because once the guy finishes the title song, he sees the entire audience had a walk-out. Furious, Benny chases the cheater with a nail &#8216;n board into the hills. Every time he lands a hit, the gong reminds the world that cheaters are natural losers.<\/p>\n<p>Favorite Part: Though poetry he may try, it turns out Beans&#8217;s pop is a fighter at heart. When he is gonged, he takes up a fighting stance. Good thing Benny was prepared with a horseshoe filled boxing glove!<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s only the beginning, folks!&#8221; Supervision by Isadore Freleng; Animation by Cal Dalton and Ben Clopton; Music by Norman Spencer.
