A classic Max and Dave Fleischer Betty Boop short from 1932, this short has Betty running away from her overbearing family with her dog boyfriend, Bimbo... only to encounter a singing walrus ghost (voiced by Cab Calloway, no less, and the opening sequence features the earliest known footage of Cab dancing with his band), which proceeds to sing them the title song. Deranged Animation ensues.The short is in the Public Domain, and can be watched in its entirety here. | |

The Cameo: Koko the Clown is accidentally dragged out of an ink well as Betty writes a note to her parents before running away. Doubles as a Visual Pun, as Koko is from the Out of the Inkwell shorts. | |

Wily Walrus | |
| Minnie the Moocher / int_388fdcd2 | comment |
Wily Walrus: The ghost walrus isn't exactly evil, as he apparently does what he does to show Betty and Bimbo the dangers of running away from home. But he is very frightening due to being one of the many surreal, dark images in the cartoon. It doesn't help that the song he sings (which the cartoon shares its title with) is rather dark, being about a beggar woman who turned to drugs and was later found dead. | |

Signs of Disrepair | |
| Minnie the Moocher / int_4cecb933 | comment |
Signs of Disrepair: When Betty runs away from home, she leaves a note for her parents that reads, "Dear Ma & Pa, I'm leaving Home because you're not so Sweet to me. I won't ever be Home again. -Betty." When she runs back home and hides her bed cover,; her note, which her parents never read, rips around the top, bottom and sides, so it now vertically reads, "Home Sweet Home". | |

Rotoscoping | |
| Minnie the Moocher / int_ac5fa94 | comment |
Rotoscoping: Cab Calloway's dance moves were rotoscoped on the walrus. Calloway himself is said to have gotten a kick out of the end result, and would lend his singing and dance moves to two more Betty Boop shorts. | |
