It showed up on Turner Classic Movies at least once.
It's a very strange thing, a very big budget musical comedy that's
partly Vaudeville, partly slapstick.
Here's the incredibly involved dirigible crew's drinking song from it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL7JJ4rsLR8


Another number: "Never Swat a Fly."

I first heard this song covered by Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band, sung
by Maria Muldaur. She was still singing it on solo albums decades
later.
