Note that in a large number of these, there is some sort of train in the cartoon, or some sort of refrence to trains. This is because "California Here I Come" is a song describing travelling to California by *train*

Really? Why is it that there is absolutely no reference to trains, rails, boxcars or any rail term in the lyrics?

@@boxsterman77 When the song was written, the main way to travel to California was by train. The creator of the song, Al Jolson, in one of his covers has instruments mimic train sounds, which can be heard here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba-ao6R4y5bTm6c.htmlsi=i8uYimHEBmsqX6w6 The train sounds are still used, and have been carried over onto other covers, which also can be heard here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y854o9Oa1rWVZXU.htmlsi=HtNGbqWcACwWSWgW kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y854o9Oa1rWVZXU.htmlsi=HtNGbqWcACwWSWgWkzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbSWorammLbTdo0.htmlsi=pOC56VYGyBjZhIXn Yes, trains aren't mentioned in the lyrics, but the fact train noises are heard in multiple versions of the song, including a version by the original creator, it is clear that the song is about travelling to California by train.

@@boxsterman77 Why are there train noises at the start of multiple covers of California Here I Come? Al Jolson wrote California Here I Come, and in one of his covers, you can hear instruments making a "chugging" noise similar to a steam engine at the beginning of the song, as well as what sounds like a train whistle right after. Multiple other covers of the song also do something similar in having train sounds at the start. Also, when the song was written in 1924, the primary way to get to California was by train. Although the song does not outright mention trains, we know the song is about traveling by train due to the train noises at the start of the song.

California here I come! Right back where I started from! Where flower in bowers bloom in the Spring! Each morning, at dawning, the birdies sing at everything! A sun-kissed miss said "Don't be late!" That's why I can hardly wait! Open up that Golden Gate! California here I come!

@fromthesidelines 2 ай бұрын

He had a knack for choosing the right songs to use in his scores. It was "shorthand" for him to use certain melodies he associated with certain situations. With "travel", it was usuallly this one.

@fromthesidelines 2 ай бұрын

Stalling had a knack for matching certain songs to use in various situations (he started out as a silent film accompanist). He had plenty of tunes to chose from in the Warner Bros. music publishing catalogs- and to him, this song was "shorthand" for any travel sequence.

The original point of Looney Tunes was to advertise the Warner music catalogue. That's why so many of the early shorts were musicals. That evolved into inserting thematically humorous stings of existing music in the score as easter eggs, incidentally creating the leitmotifs of american film scores still in use today.

@curtisophillipsjr378 Ай бұрын

A couple of things, in Porky' s Railroad, when his train met the Limited, his train performs what is called a saw-by meet when trains are longer than the siding they are in. Also, the signals used to stop him are patterned after Southern Pacific lower quadarent block signals.

0:16: 🎵California, here I come Right back where I started from Where bowers are flowers bloom in the spring Each morning at dawning Birdies sing and everything A sun kissed miss said "Don't be late!" That's why I can hardly wait, Open up that Golden Gate! California, here I come! When the wintry winds start blowing And the snow is starting to fall Then my eyes turn westward knowing That's the place that I love best of all California, I've been blue Since I've been away from you. I can't wait till I get going Even now I'm starting in a call. California, here I come Right back where I started from Where bowers are flowers bloom in the spring Each morning at dawning Birdies sing and everything A sun kissed miss said "Don't be late!"
