Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"I Love to Singa" is a Merrie Melodies short directed by Tex Avery (or, as he is still credited here, "Fred Avery," with his animators, "Charles Jones" and Virgil Ross) that premiered on July 18, 1936.The cartoon, very popular at the time, was designed to feature the eponymous tune by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, has a plot mirroring that of Al Jolson's most famous film, The Jazz Singer; un-coincidentally, Jolson (with Cab Calloway) had introduced the song in a 1936 Warner Bros. feature, The Singing Kid.

Ambiguously Jewish: The owls speak with heavy Teutonic (Yiddish?) accents; the plot is based on that of The Jazz Singer (Al Jolson himself was Jewish), which deals with the conflict between an Orthodox Jewish cantor and his son.

Be Yourself: The overall moral of the short, as it was Owl Jolson being his jazzy self that won the family the trophy.

Bowdlerization: When this cartoon was shown on TNT's short-lived series, The Rudy and Gogo Show, two scenes were edited for time constraints (other airings of this cartoon outside TNT's The Rudy and Gogo Show were instead shown uncut, including on TBS, Cartoon Network and Boomerang): Owl Jolson's being forced to sing "To Celia" and interjecting it with "I Love to Singa" before his parents catch him and he gets thrown out of the house. Some of the failed auditions for Jack Bunny's radio program.

Animated Music Video: Many of the Warner Bros. shorts made at this time were designed to push the sales of songs that appeared in their feature films; this was no exception.
