The Man on the Flying Trapeze/I Yam Love Sick/She-Sick Sailors

It was a pretty common practice in the early days of animation to take a song and theme the cartoon around it. And the first cartoon, The Man on the Flying Trapeze (1934), gets it's plotline, it's melody and it's title for that matter from a popular old folk song. This cartoon also features the only animated appearance of Olive's mother, Nana Oyl.
