Yankee Doodle Daffy is a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon short released on June 5, 1943,[2][3] directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce.
However, Daffy Duck, a talent agent, stops Porky from leaving, wanting to secure an audition for his client, droopy-eyed child performer Sleepy Lagoon.
The pitch, intended to demonstrate Sleepy's allegedly wide and varied repertoire, consists of Daffy himself performing an array of musical and stage acts in his usual, absurd and unoriginal fashion.
Sleepy meanwhile stays seated, nonchalantly licking an enormous lollipop and silently commenting on Daffy's ludicrous behavior using signs bearing rebuses, such as "ham" ("excessively theatrical"), "screwball" ("crazy and absurd"), and "corn" ("corny").
The songs Daffy performs include "I'm Just Wild About Harry", "William Tell Overture", "Flight of the Bumblebee", "Chica Chica Boom Chic" (as Carmen Miranda), "Laugh, Clown, Laugh" (as Enrico Caruso as Canio in Pagliacci), and "Angel in Disguise" (the same song Bugs Bunny and Sylvester perform in The Wabbit Who Came to Supper and Back Alley Oproar, respectively).
