Cow-Cow Boogie

Cow-Cow Boogie is a 1943 Swing Symphony cartoon.
==Summary==
The foreman of the "Lazy S Ranch" is getting much work out of his shiftless cowhands until a black cowboy on a donkey comes riding' along singing "Cow Cow Boogie." While his version doesn't hold a candle to the one by Ella Mae Morse, it is jivey and has more than enough rhythm to pep up the cowhands, and the cattle herd also.
==Plot==
Hilarious film of a herd of Herefords on a cattle ranch. The cattle on the "Lazy S Ranch" are slow-moving until an outrageous Stepin Fetchit-style black boogie-woogie musician arrives and sings the boogie-woogie, bringing sweet syncopation to the bored white cowpokes back home on the range. They literally rope him up like a lynch mob- but they just want to hear him play the piano! He lures the cattlemen's doomed steer into the boxcars to slaughter with the swinging title tune. The herd's "lead singer" has animated lips and sings the boogie as she rambles along the inside of a wooden fence. She's backed up by the rest of the herd.
==Trivia==
The black man sings a song with the lyric "I was raised on loco weed...."
