A waltz on a floating log

The Log Driver's Waltz · National Film Board of Canada

This short cartoon from the National Film Board of Canada sets a cheerful folk song to pictures. A young woman would rather dance with a log driver than anyone else, because riding logs down the river has made him the nimblest dancer around. The animation is bright and bouncy, and the tune is hard to get out of your head. Many Canadians grew up humming it.
