1946 Old Mac Donald Had A Farm

The original, black and white Fleischer Screen Songs ended in 1938 and the sing-along idea remained mostly dormant until they where begun anew under the auspices of Famous Studios in December of 1947. But during that almost ten year period, a few "proto-Screen Songs" were released reviving and refining the formula. Among these was "Old MacDonald Had A Farm," officially a Noveltoon. I think it has all of the elements of a "Screen Song," except for the ear worm opening jingle, "Start Your Day With A Song."
