“Me Musical Nephews” is a 1942 “Popeye” Paramount theatrical cartoon short directed by Seymour Kneitel and Tom Johnson, starring Jack Mercer as the voice of ‘Popeye’ and his look-alike nephews ‘Pipeye’, ‘Peepeye’, ‘Poopeye’ and ‘Pupeye’:


“…one night, the nephews of ‘Popeye’ are practicing playing their boring music while ‘Popeye’ is continually falling asleep. 


“He tells them to get ready for bed so he can tell them a story. The nephews are unhappy with the short story but are sent to bed anyway. 


“The nephews are not so tired and eventually start playing music with mattress springs…


“…suspenders, radiators, toys and medicine bottles.


“Popeye eventually hears the racket…


“…and destroys the radio trying to find what's causing the noise. 


“He soon finds out it is coming from the nephews…


“….and tries to catch them in the act…


“…before going crazy and jumping out of the movie theater screen…”
