You're Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly.

On the last day of the year in 1955, Looney Tunes released a new cartoon titled One Froggy Evening.

It was inspired by a 1944 Cary Grant movie titled Once Upon a Time, which involved a dancing caterpillar in a small box.

The Looney Tunes cartoon featured a singing frog in a small box.

In this short, a construction worker is demolishing a building.

He pries the top off the cornerstone and discovers a small metal box.

He opens the lid, a frog jumps out, grabs a top hat and cane, and starts singing.

The construction worker can't believe his luck.

A singing frog that will make him rich.

But every time he shows the frog to someone, it just sits there.

But when no one's around, the frog pulls out the top hat.

It's a very funny cartoon.
