Verwitterte Melodie, or Weather-beaten Melody, is a 1942 animated short, made in Nazi Germany. It was written mainly by cartoonist Hans Fischerkoesen, although the sole credits often went to Horst von Möllendorff [1]. It was animated by Jiri Brdecka in Prague.

The general outline of the plot is of a bee that finds an abandoned phonograph in a meadow and uses her stinger as a stylus to play the record on it.
