Texas refused to issue birth certificates to children born in Texas to undocumented parentsĭisconnected or not, these incidents have a common denominator: they spew hostility towards immigrants and their children as invaders threatening to overrun our nation’s scarce resources.Louisiana passed legislation to deny marriage certificates to undocumented immigrants.California government agents exaggerated claims of Chinese birth tourism and maternity hotels.Sure, just like the building of new detention cells is unrelated to future arrests and deportations. I was a town crier, a few said, over-reacting to isolated news events. The era of using mean-spirited terms, like anchor babies, for political purposes had passed. They claimed the battle against xenophobic terminology had been won. The animation of the mouse chorus line is reused from Hold Anything.A revival of an anchor baby attack was on the way.Other mice use the phonograph to shoot needles at the poor cat, who finally escapes his torment by leaping through the window and out into the distance.
The cat nearly knocks himself out on a bass drum, while another mouse takes advantage of the cat’s daze by blowing a party favor in his rear. The other mice begin their offensive strike, shooting drum sticks at him using a violin bow and harp strings, and burning the cat’s bottom with a blow torch. The mouse reprises the title tune (throwing in a few “Mammy!”s), and begs the other mice to “give this cat the works”. One of the mice hears the cuckoo just before the cat pounces on him, but the cat manages to chase him into a corner. The cat continues his approach, though an occasional “cuckoo!” emanates from his insides. The cat slides down the chimney and tries to sneak across the room, but a nearby cuckoo clock almost gives him away before the cat swallows the bird inside. Two mice dance on the piano as the cat watches from the skylight. Unbeknownst to the mouse, a large cat is watching through the window and licking his chops.
The drenched mouse razzes them then blows a sour note on a tuba before dancing by the window. One of those mice falls into a vase of water, prompting the other mice to laugh at him. Next, the chorus line of mice from Hold Anything return to do their bit. The mice dance on the drum, while nearby another mouse plays the flute with the help of five other mice sitting on the holes. That mouse is flung off again, and this time lands in a clarinet, where a miniature of himself falls out of each hole and onto a drum below. One of those mice is spun off the record and onto the floor, but then uses a metronome to fling himself back on. Several mice dance around the spinning record (which is playing the title tune, naturally), and a few even try to dance on it. Dozens of mice emerge from holes, including one referred to as “grandpappy”, whose crutches enable him to spin around when a smaller mouse runs under him. The record starts playing, and the mouse yells “Okay fellas, on with the dance!”. He skips across a xylophone, gets on a table top through a tuba, slides down from the table via cello, then bounces off a drum and lands on the crank of a phonograph. After freeing himself and realizing that there is no danger, the mouse lifts the cheese from the trap and makes his way across the room. When the nearby grandfather clock strikes, the startled mouse hurries back to his hole but gets his tail caught in the trap. in a music store as a mouse sneaks out of his hole and past a baited mouse trap. When the cat returns, the mice go beserk in their unified offensive against the cat. Merrie Melodies ( cartoon-specific opening / Piggy closing)ĭrawn by – Isadore Freleng, Thomas McKimson
