Trivia
- The song is performed by Mae Questel and Cab Calloway in The Old Man of the Mountain.
- Bonnie Poe was Betty Boop's speaking voice in the same cartoon. As Poe also used to sing as Betty in a majorty of the cartoons, it is unknown as to why she did not sing "Hi-De-Hi" along with Cab Calloway and instead was replaced for the sequence by Questel. If you listen very carefully, you can hear the change in Betty's vocals from speaking to singing. A possibility could be that it was recorded beforehand.
