House Cleaning Blues (1937)
Posted under cleaning the house
House Cleaning Blues is a 1937 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop, and featuring Grampy.
Betty wakes up after the morning after her birthday party. The house is a shambles, and Betty is not looking forward to cleaning up. She sings the title song while struggling with her chores. Grampy shows up to take Betty out for a drive, but Betty can’t leave until everything is tidy. Grampy literally puts on his thinking cap (a mortarboard with a lightbulb on top), and invents a host of labor-saving devices: a cuckoo clock powered dishwasher, a combination bicycle and floor scrubber, and a player piano that folds laundry. In no time at all, the dancing inventor has the house spic and span, just in time to take Betty for a spin in his automobile (which features a built-in soda fountain!).

I haven’t seen this …
I haven’t seen this in a long time. My sister used to have a Betty Boop tape when she was little & this was on it and “A Thousand Times No”, the fly swatting one, the one where the car gets fixed and sings, and the “cheer up!” song one. Great memories. Thanks!
