Notes[]

  • First cartoon co-directed by William "Bill" Nolan.
  • First onscreen credits for Fred "Tex" Avery and Lester Kline.
  • First time James Dietrich is credited under "Musical Score" instead of "Synchronization and Score"
  • This cartoon's title is a play on the 1928 Warner Bros. feature The Singing Fool starring Al Jolson. Pinto Colvig provides the voice of the hippo in this short.
  • This cartoon is the first cartoon to be reissued by Guild/Firelight as this cartoon all the way to Silly Superstition (1939) would all get a Guild/Firelight reissue print, thus most of the original prints that gotten a Guild/Firelight reissue print had them mostly destroyed, and poorly rendered, some of the original prints ended up being completely lost.
