Mr. Bonejangles and his skeleton band are partly inspired by the cartoon La danza degli scheletri (1929), but are also heavily influenced by Cab Calloway and his band, as they appeared in rotoscoped form in several Betty Boop cartoons. The piano player wears shades, like Ray Charles, and his movements are based on Charles' mannerisms. The character Mr. Bonejangles is based on the famous dancer Bill Robinson, who was called "Mr. Bojangles."
