  • In the Betty Boop short film "Snow White", Koko the Clown (voiced by Cab Calloway) sings "St. James Infirmary Blues" when he believes Betty Boop is dead. Cab Calloway's voice is unique and specially eerie for this song. Koko's dancing during the "St. James" number is rotoscoped from footage of Calloway.

    Also the fact that all the background images match the song and is inspired by the mafia activity at the time is incredible. Back then, there was no getting around it. You couldn’t be a musician and perform in anywhere without connections to the mafia and that didn’t stop until well after the 60s. My grandpa used to play bass and had connections to some too. Crazy. It’s so accurate and THE ANIMATION HOLY COW.

      When he says the line about the shot of booze, the background transfers into ansr setting, where you can see people pouring Moonshine out of "milktanks", which was a common way of discretely drinking alcohol during prohibition.

    This is kinda disturbing but so artistic somehow, I used to watch this when I was little in 2006 (I'm born in 2004), my parents loved to let me watch old cartoons like this and obv I loved them and this is kinda hypnotic also, I love it.

    Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary,
    See my baby there;
    She's stretched out on a long, white table,
    So sweet, so cold, so fair.
    Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
    Wherever she may be,
    She will search this wide world over,
    But she'll never find another sweet man like me.
    When I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,
    Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat,
    Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
    So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat.
    An' give me six crap shooting pall bearers,
    Let a chorus girl sing me a song.
    Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
    So we can raise Hallelujah as we go along.
    Folks, now that you have heard my story,
    Say, boy, hand me another shot of that booze;
    If anyone should ask you,
    Tell 'em I've got those St. James Infirmary blues.
