Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Swooner Crooner is a 1944 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Frank Tashlin.Porky Pig is the manager of the "Flockheed Eggcraft Factory". Every morning, a workforce of hens marches in and lays eggs in support of the American war effort, popping out eggs in an assembly-line manner. However, the hens are distracted by a very skinny rooster named "Frankie" who bears a notable resemblance to Frank Sinatra. The hens are so besotted by the charming Frankie that they stop laying eggs. Porky, who needs to get his hens back egg-laying, then has to find another crooning rooster who can charm the hens back to work. He finally gets help when he hires a Bing Crosby rooster.

Bowdlerization: Versions of this cartoon shown on most American TV channelsnote particularly Cartoon Network, Boomerang, TNT, TBS, and some local syndicated affiliates cut the part where the Al Jolson rooster auditions in blackface with "September in the Rain", going from the Vaughn Monroe rooster tiring himself out while singing "Shortnin' Bread" to the Jimmy Durante rooster singing "Lullaby of Broadway."

Comedic Underwear Exposure: As one hen faints and lies on her belly in reaction to Frankie's crooning, her feathers fly up and she's briefly seen in her pink bra and matching, short, frill-trimmed bloomers before the feathers fall back on her, and she's covered with them again.
