His career hits the skids and he's living on a park bench before he's discovered by that great vaudeville star, Elmer Fudd. Their dual comedy act is a hit, which leads to film roles. Will Bugs Bunny ever have to look back?

Bing Crosby - Swinging On A Star (1944)
Lyrics at the bottom:
Written by Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen, information below from stevenlewis.info
"The songwriters were told to write a song for Bing's forthcoming movie, Going My Way, that amounted to the Ten Commandments with a rhythm section. Jimmy Van Heusen was stumped until he visited Bing's home and heard Bing ask one of his unruly kids, "Do you want to grow up to be a mule?". Bing recorded the result Feb. 7, 1944, with the Williams Brothers, among whom was 13-year-old Andy Williams, substituting for the Crosby sons. The brothers were paid $100 for their contribution to the recording that sold more than a million copies, and remained in the pop charts for 28 weeks, including 9 weeks atop the charts. The song won the Academy Award and in 2002 Bing's recording was inducted...

Bing Crosby & David Bowie - "The Little Drummer Boy (Peace On Earth)"
Thank you to DouglasDegraw(His Channel) for the following details about this video. 🤟
"A radio station I listen to has a daily "Behind the Music" segment telling special stories of highlighted songs, being the season for it they always talk about this one, and included some facts that I was up to now unaware of regarding the song.
Over his career, Bing Crosby did 42 Christmas Television Specials but it was the final one in 1977 that set an odd milestone.
Wanting to include something for the younger audience, Bing was convinced to work with Pop icon David Bowie. They met in England in mid-September and began taping Bing Crosby's Merry Olde Christmas. Originally meant to be just a version of the classic song, David was not happy with the way his voice sounded, so writers came up with an or...

The Tragic Truth About Bing Crosby
Before singers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Elvis Presley gained their popularity they were highly influenced by the crooner Bing Crosby. Crosby is often credited with helping develop the postwar recording industry. He invested in the recording company Ampex, persuaded broadcasting giant ABC to allow him to tape his shows, and became the first singer to prerecord his radio shows.
But his tireless work in the entertainment industry took its toll on his personal and professional life eventually. This is the tragic truth about Bing Crosby.

Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr. (May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Crosby's trademark warm bass-baritone voice made him the best-selling recording artist of the 20th century, having sold over one billion records, tapes, compact discs and digital downloads around the world.
The first multimedia star, from 1931 to 1954 Crosby was a leader in record sales, radio ratings, and motion picture grosses. His early career coincided with technical recording innovations such as the microphone. This allowed him to develop a laid-back, intimate singing style that influenced many of the popular male singers who followed him, including Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes, and Dean Martin. Yank magazine said that he was the person who had done the most for American soldiers' morale during World War II. In 1948, American polls declared him the "most admired man alive", ahead of Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII. Also in 1948, Music Digest estimated that his recordings filled more than half of the 80,000 weekly hours allocated to recorded radio music.
Crosby won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Father Chuck O'Malley in the 1944 motion picture Going My Way and was nominated for his reprise of the role in The Bells of St. Mary's opposite Ingrid Bergman the next year, becoming the first of six actors to be nominated twice for playing the same character. In 1963, Crosby received the first Grammy Global Achievement Award. He is one of 33 people to have three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the categories of motion pictures, radio, and audio recording.
Crosby influenced the development of the postwar recording industry. He became the first performer to pre-record his radio shows and master his commercial recordings onto magnetic tape. Through the medium of recording, he constructed his radio programs with the same directorial tools and craftsmanship (editing, retaking, rehearsal, time shifting) used in motion picture production, a practice that became an industry standard. In addition to his work with early tape recording, he helped to finance the development of videotape, bought television stations, bred racehorses, and co-owned the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. On October 14, 1977, he sustained and died from a heart attack while playing golf in Alcobendas, Spain. A plaque was placed at the golf course in his memory.

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star

Thank you to DouglasDegraw(His Channel) for the following details about this video. 🤟
"A radio station I listen to has a daily "Behind the Music" segment telling special stories of highlighted songs, being the season for it they always talk about this one, and included some facts that I was up to now unaware of regarding the song.
Over his career, Bing Crosby did 42 Christmas Television Specials but it was the final one in 1977 that set an odd milestone.
Wanting to include something for the younger audience, Bing was convinced to work with Pop icon David Bowie. They met in England in mid-September and began taping Bing Crosby's Merry Olde Christmas. Originally meant to be just a version of the classic song, David was not happy with the way his voice sounded, so writers came up with an original counter-harmony and the two practiced it a few times before taping it for the show.
Unfortunately between the taping and the air date of Nov 30th, Bing suffered a heart attack and died. Fortunately, this happened just after he had won a closely contested 18 holes of golf, so he went out a winner.
That makes this segment one of his last performances ever, and also fortunately it was a tremendous hit and became a near-instant classic.
Sadly, we have also lost David - but both will always be remembered for wonderful music.
Ladies, Gentlemen, I present to you Bing Crosby and David Bowie performing Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth"

Before singers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Elvis Presley gained their popularity they were highly influenced by the crooner Bing Crosby. Crosby is often credited with helping develop the postwar recording industry. He invested in the recording company Ampex, persuaded broadcasting giant ABC to allow him to tape his shows, and became the first singer to prerecord his radio shows.
But his tireless work in the entertainment industry took its toll on his personal and professional life eventually. This is the tragic truth about Bing Crosby.
