comment
Solid Serenade is a 1946 Tom and Jerry cartoon directed by Hanna-Barbera.One night, Tom sneaks into Toodles' backyard with an upright bass (which somehow is also used as a pogo stick!) to serenade her by singing "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby". While Toodles enjoys his singing, Jerry, who's trying to sleep, feels differently, and after his home is wrecked by Tom's music, he makes his displeasure clear in the form of a Pie in the Face (with an iron in it). This results in the usual chase, which is complicated when Jerry releases Spike, whom Tom had tied up.

Wait for Your Date
 Solid Serenade / int_32406d30
comment
Wait for Your Date: Averted and Played for Laughs. Toodles is putting on her makeup as Tom arrives to serenade her. When he starts playing, the kitty power-primps herself in less than five seconds, and emerges ever-so-elegantly onto her balcony to be serenaded. Particularly amusing as the song Tom is serenading her with is about a singer getting frustrated with how often his lover keeps him waiting.

This Means War!: After his home is wrecked thanks to Tom and his bass, Jerry decides he's had enough, stuffs an iron into a pie and hurls it at Tom. Once he follows it up with a cake, Tom retaliates.

Cat Concerto: Tom does a variation of this by playing a bass and singing to Toodles. It has the usual effect, however, as not only is Jerry unable to sleep, but the vibrations ruin his home.

Empty Swimming Pool Dive: A variation. While racing around the kitchen, Tom and Jerry use an ironing board as a diving board. After landing in the sink, Jerry immediately pulls the plug to let the water out, leaving Tom to crash headfirst into the dishes.

Suddenly Speaking: Tom talks more here than in any other short except "The Zoot Cat". He sings "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby", and then romances Toodles (reusing dialogue from "Zoot Cat").
