When the Circus Comes to Town

The musical novelty group the Kidoodlers, wearing assorted costumes and playing likely and unlikely instruments perform the title song in this comedy soundie.

Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.

It's a pretty lively performance, but also very corny.
