Additional comments and sources

Floyd Buckley was the voice of Popeye on radio in the mid-1930s. In 1936, he released two 78 rpm singles, 4 tracks in total titled Popeye - No. 1, 2, 3, 4, each of which consisted of a medley of different songs. No. 1 opens with I'm Popeye the Sailor Man and then moves into "Let's Build a Bridge Today", "Hamburger Mine" and "Popeye on Parade". The linked video ascribes the title "Popeye Medley" but this isn't in evidence on the label.
