Dawn Parade, from the original Disney cartoon.

KS1/2: Suggested in QCA Unit 9 as example of music that describes animals.

KS3 idea: Can be viewed as an example of the march genre, drawing attention to the verbal counting and regular pulse and typical 'oompah' bass line. Notice how the march tempo that suits elephants is slower than would suit humans (perhaps contrast it with a typical Sousa march).

Upon hearing of the evil deeds of the bandit Abu Hassan, Popeye, accompanied by Olive Oyl and J. Wellington Wimpy, flies to Arabia. Olive is kidnapped by Abu Hassan, who forces her to do the laundry for his Forty Thieves.

This cartoon is significantly longer (over 16 minutes) than other clips in our collection and there are some sections without music at all. It opens with Abu Hassan (Bluto) singing with a very deep bass voice and this returns several times during the cartoon.

Director:Dave Fleischer

1970 number 2 single in the UK and an early example of four track studio recording, heavy on the multi-layered drums that dominate over the very quiet vocal track.
