The clip is associated with Old MacDonald Duck, a Donald Duck cartoon released on September 12, 1941, where Donald works on a farm to the tune of the classic children's song. The milking noise itself later circulated as a stock effect, catalogued by Hollywood Edge as squirts of water into a bucket, which explains its clean, exaggerated cartoon quality. Short farm effects like this stayed popular because they are instantly readable without dialogue, so editors keep reusing the rhythmic squirt for farming parodies, animation dubs, and quick visual gags online.
