Betty Boop's Ker-Choo is a 1932Fleischer Studiosanimated short film starringBetty Boop, and featuringKoko the Clown andBimbo.[2]
Bimbo and Koko are among the contestants in a big auto race, where all thetalking animals in Fleischer-land are in attendance (the "humanized" cars await in stalls like horses, and the judge's panel consists of three elderly blind men). The favorite in the race is Betty Boop, but she's late again, and her Yiddish-accented car has no idea where she is. When Betty finally shows up, she explains in song that her tardiness is due to a "'code' in my 'doze'".
Once the race begins, it's a real thriller-spiller, with even the spectators getting into the act—and catching Betty's cold in the process ("Ah, ah, CHOO!)"[3] Eventually, Betty wins the race.
Betty sings the song "I Got a "Code" in My "Doze"", written byArthur Fields with lyrics byFred Hall &Billy Rose.[4]
This short was featured in aCartoon Network video, synced toSoul Coughing's song "Rolling".[5]
