Notable Moments Where You Must've Been a Beautiful Baby Was Played in Classic Cartoons

TW for racially insensitive imagery
This is by no means an exhaustive or complete collection of all of the times this ditty has been used in classic WB cartoons, but as a kid I always enjoyed the tune and actually found myself humming it in the supermarket the other day. Carl Stalling's renditions are always a bop. Interestingly, it was used only once in an early Tom and Jerry short.

I never knew there were lyrics to this song 😂

Yep! The original song was written and sung by Bing Cosby.

[@akrenwinkle]

It was written by Johnny Mercer and Harry Warren, introduced in a movie by Dick Powell.

I was humming this song and searched forever! I didn’t know the song title so it took me forever to find the melody then You did all the homework for me and compiled all the damn references I was trying to speak about. Thank you!

It was also heard in Porky's tire trouble after Flat Foot Flookey falls into the liquid rubber.

The _Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur_ one is my personal favorite, second only to Scott Bradley's.
