The Munsters: Will Succes Spoil Herman Munster? (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Eddie has borrowed a tape recorder from a friend, and Herman records a song in it. Eddie's friend's father is a radio producer and the song ends up on the hit parade. Herman phones the radio station identifying himself as the singer and becomes a star overnight. His ego grows and makes him unbearable for his family; Grandpa gives him a "nothing muffin" (sorry, this may not be its exact name -- you see, I watch a dubbed version), which makes one's talents disappear. He is obliged to cancel his TV appearance and, after some reflection, he decides that he'd better abandon his artistic career altogether. They sing him "He's a jolly good fellow".

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
