Betty Boop’s FIRST WORDS!

8/8/2015

This month is the anniversary of Betty’s very first film appearance. Dizzy Dishes was released on August 9, 1930 as part of Fleischer Studios’ Talkartoon series.

The cartoon's action all takes place in a nightclub. Betty makes only a brief appearance as a cabaret singer, but she catches the eye … and heart … of Bimbo the waiter, who is the star of the film.  In this first appearance, Betty never speaks. Instead she sings I Have to Have You. The song was the start of her film career!

Here are Betty’s first words on film:

Lovin', I have to have lovin',
But when I'm having my lovin',
I have to have boop-boop-a-doop

Lovin', I must have my lovin',
But when I'm having my lovin',
I have to have you,

I'm so blue, waiting for you
to take me,
Oh, I can't go on like this, 
give me a kiss, huh,
and make me boop-boop-a-doop-a-doop,

Whoopee, I want to make whoopee,
and if I want to make whoopee,
I have to have boop-boop-a-doop-a-doop,

Boop-boop-a-doop… whoopee!

I Have to Have You was a song written by Robin Whiting in 1929.
