[@carston101]

Though I'm only in my mid 20s, I grew up on old stuff like this. Really nothing compares.

My favorite tune! I love it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@StarwarsHalofreak]

This theme of giving inanimate objects and animals in the 30s and 40s gives me Animal Farm vibes.

[@darkmage7280]

It's kinda creepy to think all these sentient condiments will most likely be sold off in a day or two, and... you know, EATEN.

[@Countrygirl30A]

Why can’t they make stuff like in the old days

[@joellafargue9882]

Does anyone know where I can find the two Screen Songs (shown as "Noveltoons) titled "Detouring Thru Maine" and "Readin' Ritin' and Rhythmetic"?

[@LovelysPetParent]

It's a little sad.

Shortnin' Bread is a song sung by colored folk. Those white bread kids look so out of place.

[@genericname2747]

Why is nobody talking about how we literally saw three cookies fall to their death?

[@kittybaskinginthesun285]

then casually singing about a dead child happily😬

[@loogieloogie]

@@kittybaskinginthesun285 i don’t think he was dead. Slangs during these times were used commonly

[@melissagerber7231]

​@@kittybaskinginthesun285'mos dead meant almost dead.

[@stephababe2007]

Child's literally dead...... Doctor. Nothing a little shortnin bread can't fix

[@melissagerber7231]

No, 'mos dead. Almost dead.

"Feed dem chillun on short'nin' bread!"

Feed all dem chillun's

[@fredericketorne8475]

The smallest shortening bread with the deepest voice still sounds scary

[@kokujin1014]

Then you don't want to hear mine. I have the same deep voice.

[@ripaccount-n2x]

It's funny 😂

[@BrandonKohout]

Doesn’t sound scary to me.

[@russellvawter5604]

They sure don't make them like they used to anymore.

[@saraseif7]

Anyone else sees a resemblance to the tune used in the "Gaston" song from Beauty and the Beast? This particular verse: "No one's slick as Gaston No one's quick as Gaston No one's neck's as incredibly thick" as Gaston

Thank you so much for having this up on KZbin. As soon as I saw the ginger bread boy, it took me all the way back to when I was a kid watching these on VHS. Thank you so much for giving me back a childhood memory ❤

[@gabrielatienza4843]

There were similar cartoons with this story/theme...One involving candy people and the other involving fruits & vegetables... The songs are Ain't She Sweet and Yes We have No Bananas.

[@TheDoughnutter]

That was disturbing.

[@janespetta6284]

When I saw the comment I know this is it. I'm listening to it. I'll still for it. Yes it's catchy they'll love it.

[@juanitathomas899]

I rember this song when I was little

[@toddreeder8010]

We use to sing that in Elementary school in the 70's.

[@maddifoofoo]

Omfg you don't have to be born in the 1940s to see this!!! There's tv and the internet. Wow you people have no common since

[@GlennSimpkins]

Hell's bells, These had to have been on VHS, even at some point. I have faint memories of this piece on a VHS we had/(still have?)

[@thatundergroundflavorrareo3194]

I have it on DVD.

[@rosxjun]

@@GlennSimpkins Me too! I was born in '88 and have very vivid memories of watching this exact cartoon as a kid. I'm 99% sure it was from VHS

[@eleabell7607]

At 2:23, I think it says "delight", not "green light". I think.

[@fullplate100]

IN-FUCKIN'-CREDIBLE. I'm a 65 yr. old Black man raised in the American South with this song AND this cartoon. I remember them from my childhood. To see them now makes me say we've come soooooo far, bless America's heart. But with Donald Trump & his minions? American still has SUCH a way to go. God help her on our journey!

[@Puma4454]

Me too. I still have them someplace. These songs are still good no matter how old you are.

[@GlennSimpkins]

I too had this on a VHS tape, kinda did not like this song then, but kinda like it now.

[@mityatarasov874]

Is this creativity or the result of hallucinogenic drugs?

[@pollyisagoodbird]

+Michael Degtyarev Pre-Vietnam = creativity. That and the long-lost art of making as many corny puns as possible.

[@mityatarasov874]

True, especially pertaining to music and television programs.

[@chuckbyf1]

It's been 50 yrs since I've seen these shorts in theaters. I don't know why some of them can't bring them back. I think people would get a kick out of them. Of course this song couldn't possibly be shown. (Too racist) OK everyone, follow the bouncing ball.

The 1950's NTA logo is included on both the opening and closing titles of this and other pre-50 Paramount cartoons.

[@kokujin1014]

Yeah, remastered for television broadcast. We weren't ever to see the original Paramount mountain opening.

[@genevieveswhumphreys3805]

I have enjoyed singing along to Short'in Bread. Such memories and great history.

[@gregbowman4043]

I sang it in choir at a church school. So why do left-wing provocatures see "racism" everywhere, even in this song? Could it be because there is so much hatred in thier hearts? Could it be that they bring theri own supply of racism with them?

[@retrovhsmanvaultfromthe70s97]

Genny Humphreys I remember Bugs Bunny sing this song too

[@koda_dawgg]

@@gregbowman4043 probably because lots of people try and hide racism and ignore cartoons like these in favor of "the good old days." this cartoon definitely isn't the WORST as there are far more racist cartoons out there, but this song is still racist and that's how it's gonna be, it's not just those scary left-wing people saying it's racist. give me a break, dude!

[@BellatrixLlvr]

Oh!! Jeez. Cartoons have changed so much nowadays. I remember watching these kinda of cartoons at my grandma's house, though.

[@PoisonedDragon1964]

Shortnin' Bread is a bit shorter than the other Screen Songs. Have all the extant versions perhaps been edited for content? I was wondering - were the "mammy" and "chillun" always white, or has this been altered from the original?

[@kokujin1014]

Yes, the "mammy" and "chillun" were always white. It was never in any way altered. The only Screen Song to my knowledge that was ever "tampered" was the one called "MacNamara's Band". Sung in the cartoon, "The Emerald Isle", the song was originally aired in its entirety during the early 1960s, then in the mid 60s for some reason the song was removed from the cartoon entirely with no explanation.

[@Shidyk]

Wow, this is taking me back. I saw this once as a six year old.

[@donnydarkoh777]

The line says one is sick in bed and the other one is dead! Doesn't that mean anything to the kids who are listening to this?

[@gwcoty0715]

He's not dead, it is revealed later that his eyes had been shut like he'd been dead. Listen to the rest of the song and you would know this.

this is racist

[@emorylankfordgriffis3230]

Many find everything and everyone to be racist, but ignore the one reflected in their own mirror. It is an old-time song to entertain children, not the marching chant of BLM members, who are the epitome of racism circa 2017.

How?

[@joellafargue9882]

Nowadays, if you sang this song, you'd be in trouble from people accusing you of racism.

[@londonemerson1809]

Thank you for posting this important reminder that racism has been pervasive, even in cartoons, since Jesus was knee-high to a grasshopper.

[@GhostsDontWalk1]

"Shortnin' Bread" is a folk song from the 1800s created by the black community. So I don't see it as racist. Unless you're saying black people were racist towards themselves?

[@08V09]

every time I see black people I think of this song
