I know I've seen this cartoon. Thinking Tex Avery but I cannot find it. I think she sings it to a wolf in a nightclub.

Well, there’s this one. Seems to fit the bill you describe. She sings “Daddy...” though...

The cartoon you are referring to is likely “Red Hot Riding Hood,” a classic Tex Avery cartoon from 1943. In this cartoon, a girl named Red sings at a nightclub, and a wolf character becomes infatuated with her. Later in the cartoon, a character named “Madame La Zonga” steps onto the ballroom floor. It’s a famous and memorable scene from the Golden Age of animation.

Are you thinking of “Red Hot Riding Hood”? That’s a Tex Avery cartoon from 1943. That’s the only one I remember with a woman belting out a toon to a wolf in a nightclub.

When Madame Pompadour was on a ballroom floor
Said all the gentlemen, “Obviously,”
“The madame has the cutest personality.”
And think of all the books about Du Barry’s looks
What was it made her the toast of Paris?
She had a well-developed personality

I don’t know the cartoon, but you mention Madam Pompadour in the title of the thread, and it got me thinking of a great episode of Dr. Who. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdIHmP1e_Jg

No.I have seen the cartoon a few years ago and I know it from being a kid. I suspect it was Tex Avery who did it but I cannot find it

I have always loved that song. Man those songs back then were so good.

Don’t know then. Sorry. “Personality” was released in 1959 and Avery did the bulk of his work in the 30s and 40s, so I’m at a loss on this one!

I have a recording of that. I think it’s Pearl Bailey.
