Make Mine Music segment featured animation originally intended for "Fantasia" using the Claude Debussy musical composition "Clair de Lune" from Suite bergamasque. It featured two egrets flying through the Everglades on a moonlit night. However, by the time "Make Mine Music" was released "Clair de Lune" was replaced by the new song "Blue Bayou", performed by the Ken Darby Singers. However, the original version of the segment still survives. This segment was one of two sections in which Benny Goodman and his Orchestra contributed. Their music played over visuals that were drawn by a pencil as the action occurred. The scene portrayed teens
Au clair de la lune clair de la lune" as the basis of his song "Pierrot" ("Pantomime", L. 31) from "Quatre Chansons de Jeunesse". Erik Satie quoted this song in the section "Le flirt" (No. 19) of his 1914 piano collection "Sports et divertissements". In 1926, Samuel Barber rewrote "H-35: Au Claire de la Lune: A Modern Setting of an old folk tune" while studying at the Curtis Institute of Music. In 1928, Marc Blitzstein orchestrated "Variations sur 'Au Claire du la Lune'." In 1964, French pop singer France Gall recorded a version of this song, with altered lyrics to make it a love song.
