In the 40's Walter Lantz had a string of cartoons that made up a "Swing Symphony" series. Can I find these on any DVD or VHS? The ones I'm especially interested in are Cow Cow Boogie, Abou Ben Boogie, Jungle Jive, and Jukebox Jamboree.

SCRUB ME MAMMA WITH A BOOGIE BEAT can be found on the Cartoon Craze: Banned and Censored DVD set. It's in failry good quality for a cartoon on a PD release.

"Cow Cow Boogie" and "Abou Ben Boogie" have never been released on video or DVD.

"Jungle Jive" was released on Volume 6 of Columbia House's Woody Woodpecker & Friends DVD/VHS. You might find a copy on ebay.

"Jukebox Jamboree" was released on the Comedy Legends: Abbott & Costello VHS of WHO DONE IT? Again, eBay is probably your best bet... used copies are also available on Amazon.

There was a toon that was from Lantz, from the 1940s and it was a musical, the recurring lyrics were hating to get up early in the morning, "for $21 a day, once a month." What was the name of that toon, was it among the "Swing Symphonies" and where can it be found?
