Oingo Boingo's Minnie the Moocher

  • Cab Calloway's jazz hit "Minnie the Moocher" was used as the soundtrack for an extremely surreal Betty Boop cartoon in 1932. The cartoon and song became an inspiration for the young Danny Elfman. He performed it on stage with the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo (later just Oingo Boingo), rewrote the lyrics as "Squeezit the Moocher" for his role as Satan in "The Forbidden Zone", and it was clearly a strong influence on Oogie Boogie's song in "The Nightmare Before Christmas".
    Here I've brought things full circle and resynched the original Minnie cartoon to Danny performing the song. Obviously there are some differences in speed and lyrics between the two versions, so the lip synch isn't exact.

    FUN FACT: In _The Nightmare Before Christmas_, there's a deleted part from Oogie Boogie's song, called the "Shadow Dance." It's basically twenty seconds of a cel-animated Oogie silhouette dancing against a psychedelic spiral background, and it was cut for pacing, though it IS present on the DVD as an extra.Almost all of the shadow's moves come from the big walrus in the "Minnie the Moocher" cartoon.

      @@redsiren9354 If you listen to the soundtrack, that extended bridge is included. Right after Oogie says he's "gonna do the best (he) can."
      - Which is also a Betty Boop/Cab Calloway reference, btw.

    The rotoscoping on that dancing ghost walrus is absolutely horrifying. I'm still weirdly fascinated by it, though.

      what kills me is, they must've rotoscoped over Cab. For someone who was suaver than suave in the day, he was legitimately a living cartoon character.

    Folks, here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
    She was a red-hot hoochie-coocher
    She was the roughest, toughest frail
    But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
    Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
    Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
    Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee)
    He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
    She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
    She loved him though was cokey
    He took her down to Chinatown
    And he showed her how to kick the gong around
    Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
    Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
    He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
    Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
    She had a dream about the King of Sweden
    He gave her things that she was needin'
    He gave her a home built of gold and steel
    A diamond car with a p-la-ti-num wheel
    Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
    Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho)
    Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh (skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh)
    Bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh (bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh)
    He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
    Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
    She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
    She sat around and counted them all a million times
    Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
    Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
    He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
    Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
