For those who aren't hep to 1932 jive, "cokey" is a reference to using cocaine and "kick the gong around" refers to taking opium. The things they let kids watch in the 1930s!

Don't you just hate it when you go into a cave and a ghost walrus starts singing Cab Calloway?

The reason this scene was so uncanny was because an animation moved at a fluent rate, and looked like a real person as an animation. But the movement was so ghostly and smooth that it seems like movements no human can do. Thus, uncanny.

I love the footage of Calloway in the beginning-- he doesn't even seem to know the camera's watching him. He's just having his own private jam session. :)

Love how that walrus shows up IMMEDIATELY. He's been fucking dying to sing that song to someone for ages.

i remember my first time walking in to a cave being confronted by a singing ghost walrus. ahh, good times

I adore the history of animation.

Is no one questioning the background as the walrus is singing

Don't do drugs kids... or the singing walrus will get you.

“She was the roughest TOOOOOOOUUGHEST frail”

"So guys, let's think of an animal with long legs to animate Calloway's dance"

1930s mentality:

Damn ghost walrus , he has the moves

The song is creepy and his dancing is magical. The combo is great

My favorite thing about this is how hypnotic it is. I regularly loose interest midway through a video due to my lack of an attention span. But this song always puts me in a trance. I come back to it every few days or so.

Drugs are a hell of a drug

"He took her down to Chinatown" is the best line I've ever heard in a song.
