  • From Paramount's 1939 "Gulliver's Travels"--a full-length animated (rotoscoped) movie meant to compete with Disney. The song is also known as "Silly Idea".
    BLUEBIRDS IN THE MOONLIGHT
    There are bluebirds in the moonlight
    Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
    But that's how I feel when I'm with you
    There are night owls in the daylight
    Silly idea, night owls in the daylight
    Or maybe my heart is saying hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
    Who is the one for me?
    You -- that's what you've done to me
    There are bluebirds in the moonlight
    Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
    But that's how I feel when I'm with you...

    It's my curse. Everything of true quality existed before I was born. Right at the point I was born. Must be my fault, so that s why I take responsibility for bringing as much of it back as possible. And yes, it's impossible.

    It should be noted that this was another "cover" version, this one recorded for the Country-Western market.

      @@johnwright1759 Yes, but many European musicians copied what was coming from American Music. It still qualifies as Country/Western Swing, which is American in origin.

    Thanks for posting this.
    One thing that should be pointed out is that the Fleischer Bros. film "Gulliver's Travels" is not entirely rotoscoped. Only portions of the film (primarily the character of Gulliver) are rotoscoped. And even the rotoscoping is some of the most technically accomplished example of this technique. (invented by Max Fleischer, by the way)

    • @RayPointerChannel

      Prince David and Princess Glory were also Rotoscoped. But what does this have to do with the song?

    Hay pájaros azules a la luz de la luna
    There are bluebirds in the moonlight
    Idea tonta: pájaros azules a la luz de la luna,
    Silly idea: bluebirds in the moonlight,
    Pero así es como me siento cuando estoy contigo
    But that's how I feel when I'm with you
    Hay noctámbulos a la luz del día
    There are nightowls in the daylight
    Idea tonta: noctámbulos a la luz del día
    Silly idea: nightowls in the daylight
    O tal vez mi corazón está diciendo, "quién-quién, quién-quién..."
    Or maybe my heart is saying, "who-who, who-who..."
    ¿Quién es el indicado para mí?
    Who is the one for me?
    Tú, eso es lo que me has hecho...
    You, that's what you've done to me...
    Hay pájaros azules a la luz de la luna
    There are bluebirds in the moonlight
    Idea tonta: pájaros azules a la luz de la luna,
