The Popeye Song Folio is a collection of 24 songs issued by Popular Melodies, Inc. 1619 Broadway, New York City in 1936. They contain the tunes played in the various Popeye cartoon short series directed by Dave Fleischer .
Popeye's theme song, titled "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man", composed by Sammy Lerner in 1933 for Fleischer's first Popeye the Sailor cartoon, [70] has become forever associated with the sailor. " The Sailor's Hornpipe " has often been used as an introduction to Popeye's theme song.
Lerner's Popeye theme is particularly well known, and has followed the character into television, feature films, and video games. Mr. Lerner's work in the 1930s and 1940s included "Is It True What They Say About Dixie?" and English lyrics to "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)", Marlene Dietrich's song in the film The Blue Angel.
Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto and J. Wellington Wimpy were each featured in the cartoon. It was released on August 31, 1935. The short film was directed by Dave Fleischer and produced by Max Fleischer. It was the last Popeye cartoon to feature Billy Costello as the voice of Popeye. [3] Plotline Summary: Popeye and Bluto play professional football.
I Yam What I Yam is the second Popeye cartoon and the first cartoon in Popeye's own series; the first entry, Popeye the Sailor, was released as a Betty Boop cartoon. [3] This is the first cartoon in which Bonnie Poe voices Olive Oyl. [citation needed] This cartoon is available on DVD in the four-disc set Popeye the Sailor: 1933–1938, Volume 1.
This short also introduces the song "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man", written by Sammy Lerner, loosely based on the first two lines of the "Pirate King" song in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, The Pirates of Penzance. It would eventually become Popeye's theme song, with a portion of its instrumental appearing over the opening credits.

An entirely different arrangement of "Chicken Man" was also used as the theme to early series of the British quiz show Give Us a Clue, despite the fact that it was already being used on Grange Hill. It lasted as the theme tune from 1979 until 1981, when a new producer/director commissioned an entirely new theme tune.
