  • "Minnie the Moocher" is a jazz song first recorded in 1931 by Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, selling over 1 million copies. In "Blue Harvest", Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and the others sneak past the guards of the Death Star to Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher". In "Ocean's Three and a Half", Brian lists this song as one of the songs named after girls. While experiencing severe bad breath in "Finders Keepers", Peter decides to sing along with the song on the car radio while Meg is trapped until she can no longer take it and jumps from the car.
  • 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. This cartoon holds the place of No. 20 on The 50 Greatest Cartoons list. The short is in the Public Domain, and can be watched in its entirety here.
