Скачать или смотреть GAY PURR-EE (1962) Clip - "The Money Cat" sung by Paul Frees & The Mellomen (LYRICS [CC])

In this animated musical that could be called the original "CATS," Parisian huckster Meowrice (Paul Frees: The Ghost Host of Disleyland's Haunted House attraction, the voice of my favorite no-goodnik Boris Badenov) musically extols the influence of "The Money Cat" - By Harold Arlen& E.Y. Harburg (The Wizard of OZ).
Musical backup is supplied by The Mellomen, a popular vocal quartet who often did backup for Elvis Presley.
The song uses a couple of slang or "beatnik" terms that may require clarification: "tomato" means woman / a "dick" is a detective / flopola means failure / pan means face.

"Gay Purr-ee" (a feline take on the traditional French-accented attribution "Gay Paris") stars the voices of Judy Garland, Robert Goulet, Red Buttons, and Hermione Gingold. Directed by Abe Levitow. Screenplay by wife and husband team Dorothy and Chuck Jones.
