from A 1933 Van Beuren film, Magic Mummy, featuring Tom and Jerry in which the duo are a pair of policemen (working the graveyard shift?) who are sent to investigate a stolen mummy. Their search leads them into underground world full of strange characters. The music features renditions of "The Cop on the Beat The Man in the Moon and Me" and "Sing (It's Good For You)". Bonnie Poe provides the voice of the singing mummy.
