Cindy Walker sings of how she wanted to be a ballerina in this annoying 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.
The feeble humor about Miss Walker's ineptness is not helped by her nasal rendition of the song. Clearly this was meant to be humorous, but the failure of her singing renders it annoying.
