The following clip was culled from a Disney video compilation and posted to YouTube.
Donald Duck (Clarence Nash) starred in the live-action-animation hybrid, "The Three Caballeros", in 1944. The film wasn't released in the US until February 1945 after a pre-Christmas premiere in Mexico. Donald is joined by Jose Carioca, who debuted in "Saludos Amigos" a couple of years earlier, and their new friend, Panchito Pistoles. What otherwise would a duck, a parrot, and a rooster have in common? Not much.
I remember seeing this next clip on The Wonderful World of Disney, as the Caballeros sing their theme song.
Today, of course, the word "gay" has different connotations, and so the lyrics would have to change.
Why bring this up? Because Jose & Panchito are set to guest star in a forthcoming episode of DuckTales. Stay tuned.

There's also a Three Caballeros animated TV series starring our titular trio, though IIRC it only airs overseas, in the Phillpines, I believe,
4 1/2 years later, I'm seeing the comment. I think it's now available online here in the US.
