@termiteterraceclub.bsky.socialWarner Bros. also used the theme for their Family Entertainment label as Bugs Bunny leans next to the WB shield and chomps on a carrot (and in Coyote vs. ACME). Today, it is used for the current WB Pictures Animation logo debuting in front of The Cat in the Hat.
@termiteterraceclub.bsky.socialThe song got used in the 1990s shorts, the Larry Doyle shorts, the 2010s CGI shorts, and it was used in the opening theme to Bugs Bunny Builders. You also hear the song in Space Jam, as a ringtone in Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and in a different interpretation in Space Jam: A New Legacy.
@termiteterraceclub.bsky.social“Merrily We Roll Along” made a cameo appearance in the 1974 Mel Brooks comedy, “Blazing Saddles” during the Candygram gag.
@termiteterraceclub.bsky.socialIt was said by the late Earl Kress on his website where he from Richard Stone that “Merrily” is one of a few songs Warner Bros. can fully use without paying royalties.
@termiteterraceclub.bsky.socialIn later years, it also acted as a secondary theme song to the #LooneyTunes series (maybe as a new default as it was popularized by its use in the aap logo or on WGN’s Ray Rayner show) as it got frequently used in years after the original shorts were released.
@termiteterraceclub.bsky.socialWritten by Eddie Cantor, Charlie Tobias and Murray Mencher. The song made its animated debut in the 1935 short “Billboard Frolics”.
@termiteterraceclub.bsky.social“Merrily We Roll Along” became the official Merrie Melodies theme song 90 years ago starting with the short, “Boulevardier from the Bronx”.

@zakwolf.bsky.socialReposted by @termiteterraceclub.bsky.socialA silver lining!
@termiteterraceclub.bsky.social"The Foghorn Leghorn", directed by Robert McKimson, was released on this day in 1948.
This is the first short where Foghorn Leghorn's name appears on screen. It also solidifies the formula for what can we expect from that loud barnyard rooster.

@termiteterraceclub.bsky.social"Rover's Rival", directed by Bob Clampett, was released on this day in 1937.
Notably, the first Warner Bros. cartoon to feature "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" as the theme song for Looney Tunes, and to feature Porky Pig tearing through the drum saying, "That's all Folks!"
