Friday Flashback!

OK Everyone, since I have been addicted to YouTube, I decided to look up some long lost Bugs Bunny Cartoons that were my favorites.

The first I tried to locate was called "Hillbilly Hare". Made in 1950, it was later edited for content because it was deemed "too violent" for children. Bugs Bunny finds himself in the south and ends up having a Hoe Down/Squaredance with two hillbillys and it is a riot. Since I could not find the cartoon itself to post here, I thought I would post the lyrics to the squaredance which is a favorite with my family. (Right Lamby?)

"Promenade across the floor, sashay right on out the door; out the door and into the glade, and everybody promenade.

Step right up you're doin' fine, I'll pull your beard you pull mine; yank it again like you did before, break it up with a tug of war.

Now into the creek and fish for the trout, dive right in and splash about; trout trout pretty little trout, one more splash and come right out.

Shake like a hound dog shake again, wallow around in the old pig pen; wallow some more you all know how, roll around like an old fat sow.

Allemande left with your left hand, follow through with a right and left grand; now lead your partner the dirty old thing, follow through with an elbow swing.

Grab a fencepost hold it tight, whomp your partner with all your might; hit him in the shin hit him in the head, hit him again the critter ain't dead.

Whop him low and whop him high, stick your finger in his eye; purty little rhythm purty little sound, bang your heads against the ground.

Promenade all around the room, promenade like a bride and groom; open up the door and step right in, close the door and into a spin.

Whirl whirl twist and twirl, jump all around like a flying squirrel; now don't you cuss and don't you swear, just come right out and form a square.

Now right hand over and left hand under, both join hands and run like thunder; over the hill and over the dale, duck your head and lift your tail.

Don't you stray and don't you roam, turn around and promenade home; corn in the crib and wheat in the sack, turn your partner promenade back.

And now you're home; bow to your partner, bow to the gent across the hall, and that is all."


My other favorite I was fortunate enough to find on YouTube. It's Called "Transylvania 6-5000", and Bugs finds himself needing a place to stay on his travels but ends up in Count Blood Count's creepy castle!! The video runs about 7 minutes, so turn up your volume, sit back and enjoy!!! :)
