Does anyone remember the name of a 1930s cartoon in b/w that was set in a pharmacy, where all the chemicals and drugs come alive at night?

I think it featured a Cab Calloway number and also had a song about "spirits of ammonia."

It may have also had Bettie Boop in it, but I can't remember (but I know it's not the "Minnie the Moocher" cartoon that Cab Calloway did).

Was bored at work so did some googling...is this it?

Edit: If you can't click the link, it's an MGM Happy Harmonies short called Bottles. And after watching the whole thing, yes, it is it.

Thanks, Twisted, that was it, but not as I remember.

I guess I'm getting old enough that things start running together so I was thinking of "Minnie the Moocher" with Cab Calloway and superimposing it on "Bottles."

For anyone else reading this thread, here is the other video:

And another great one, Swing Shift Cinderella:
