Oh yes, especially through it's use on the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie reissues and on the A.A.P. logo appearing before the WB cartoons they used to own.
Best thing about Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies is that they never get old, never age and you are never too old or young for these masterpieces, sure, they may not show half of the content nowadays. But nothing beats sitting back, relaxing with some classic golden age cartoons as the Warner Bros. shorts. I'm 34 and still love them.
Ofc you can’t outgrow Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, especially considering the fact that part of the franchise wasn't meant for kids. These days in general, we can say it's for all ages
Man is it great to hear all of these! The first prototype has so many good ideas, and it evolved into a timeless classic.

I just can't help but grin from ear to ear when I imagine what a blast Carl W. Stalling must have had as he conducted his orchestra playing the theme song. I'd wager that whatever burden he had in his life, his career was his his saving grace from it.
4:43 wow, I didn’t realize this version was underrated. Not a lot of comments mention this version! It introduced me to duck amuck when I had my first looney tunes dvd at 7 years old ❤️
Incredible how the Richard Stone variants kinda scream “Animaniacs is doing a Looney Tunes special” while the Walter Murphy sounds pretty much as if “Family Guy” were to do a parody
I guess I'm weird in this way, but for most of my life this is the theme I associated most with Looney Tunes rather than "The Merry Go Round Broke Down." 4:16-5:17 are the ones I'm most used to, but one of my favorites is from the end credits of The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries (not used in this video).
WB originally created the Merrie Melodies series (replacing the failed _Spooney Melodies_, one of which included "Crying for the Carolines") as a vehicle to showcase the songs that were owned by the studio's music publishing arm (as opposed to the Looney Tunes' premise of basing each short around a recurring star such as Bosko, Buddy, or Porky Pig). By 1940, however, this original contractual obligation was stifling the Termite Terrace boys' creativity, so Schlesinger relented and rewrote the contract so the Merries were now closer to the then-still-B&W Looney Tunes.
+Aquamassage MMs were only in color since 1934. For the 1933-34 season, only two shorts made it in color: "Honeymoon Hotel" (2-17-34) and "Beauty and the Beast" (4-14-34), both processed in Cinecolor. From the 1934-35 season on, all MMs were processed in Technicolor (although from 1947-49 Cinecolor was again adopted for a few shorts due to a strike). The Technicolor processing mode started out in bi-strip mode between "Those Beautiful Dames" (11-10-34) and "Billboard Frolics" (11-9-35), while the full-blown tri-strip processing mode was adopted starting with "Flowers for Madame" (11-30-35).
The enhanced Milt Franklyn theme from 1993 is actually a unique one-time variant of the theme used only on “This Is a Life?”. It’s one of my favourites too
One of my all time favorite cartoons. It’s wacky, quotable, and never fails to not take itself seriously! I always get a good laugh with the Looney Tunes no matter how old I am.
There's also the theme used between "Jungle Jitters" and "Cinderella Meets Fella." As for ending themes, Plenty of Money and You" was the first Merrie Melodies short to include the ending theme, which used a unique variant. "Dog Daze" also had a unique ending variant, and a variant similar to the famous ending theme was used in "The Wacky Wabbit."
As to the last one you mention, you could also hear that in 1945's "Peck Up Your Troubles" and the 1952 reissue of "The Merry Old Soul" (originally released 1935).
Was also heard on _Peck Up Your Troubles_ (1945) and the Blue Ribbon issues of: _The Merry Old Soul_ (1935) _Tick Tock Tuckered_ (1944, LT) _Booby Hatched_ (1944, LT - before the Dubbed Version) _Trap Happy Porky_ (1945, LT)
Seven cartoons from the 1940-41 season (those with the older theme music) kept their original titles before the sale to a.a.p.: 1. Malibu Beach Party (9-14-40) 2. Holiday Highlights (10-12-40) 3. Good Night, Elmer (10-26-40) 4. Shop, Look and Listen (12-21-40) 5. Elmer's Pet Rabbit (1-4-41) 6. The Crackpot Quail (2-15-41) 7. Tortoise Beats Hare (3-15-41) Only the last one in this group is currently available restored on DVD (on _Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Vol. 2_). "Shop, Look and Listen" is included on the _Mouse Chronicles_ DVD set, but it is the unrestored "Dubbed Version."
@cartoonlover98: Originally, there was one difference between Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, but you would have to look back before any of the characters we all recognize were presented. Looney Tunes would focus on recurring characters, like Bosko and Buddy (1930-34), while MMs were mostly one-shot characters, with few exceptions. It wasn't until all the familiar faces showed up that they decided to put them in both series, and while this removed any differences, they just liked having both names up for the sake of having them.
I remember Friz Freleng once said about it, "I never knew if the film I was making would be a Merrie Melodie or a Looney Tune, and what the hell difference did it make anyway?"
Great compilation, bro......but....... The theme @ 6:42 is an alternate orchestration of Milt Franklyn's original version, which was used on the cartoon special "This is a life?" from June 1955 , which happens to be a comical take on "This is your life", a famous variety show from the same era..... (According to the Big Cartoon Database) #justsaying
I see, but from what I heard, that theme was not on the original version. It was added on a 1993 VHS release of the cartoon, and it also showed up on future video releases and airings of the short. (The zooming sound effect also shows up at the start of the DVD version of "Tick Tock Tuckered.")
***** that's right, ai it surfaced on my tape and disc recordings of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies from both Cartoon Network and Boomerang (still got to check on those DVD and Bluray releases though)
You forgot the Richard Stone's arrangement for the ending of "Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" (1995) and the extra-shortened version by Andy Sturmer for the "Merrie Melodies" segment at "The Looney Tunes Show" (2011)
+Klandestinos Producciones That 1995 version was basically a closing credits theme, and Andy Sturmer's version was too strange, dissonant and atonal. He was not a good composer for Looney Tunes.
+wileyk209zback that's true. But still so, I think the aforementioned 1995 ending version must be included in the clip. And I agree that Andy Sturmer's versions of "The merry-go-round broke down" and "Merrily we roll along" are musically lame.
+wileyk209zback Bill wasn't bad at all. He was lightly good with the background scores, but just got bad as arranger of the main themes. His best main theme was his version of "I know that you know", for the "Joe McDoakes" short subject series.
2:30 and 2:49 are the same music. However the early 1938 version is sparsely different from 2:30 and the 2:03 version. If you wanna hear it, check out Jungle Jitters.
My favorite is 0:54 which is from the censored cartoon "Clean Pastures" The 1941-1945 version 4:15 is iconic though and was used in the AAP titles of some cartoons.
There was an even SHORTER variant of “Merrily” at the end of the Road Runner cartoon “Stop! Look! And Hasten!”; it occurs after said character writes out “That’s All Folks!” in smoke.
who else expected Porky's stutterring th-th-th-that's all folks at the end? Absolute classic theme tune, a lot of 90s babies grew up on the Looney Tunes despite it being first released more than 70 years ago. today's generation is really missing a gem but who knows, maybe this insanely popular series will remain popular for decades to come
It's on the 2003 Looney Tunes cartoons that were intended to be released theatrically. They feel more like "What's New Scooby-Doo" or something instead of the classic shorts.
What was the difference between this and 'the merry-go-round broke down'? Why did some use this and some use that? Is it to do with Looney Tunes v Merrie Melodies?
In fact Milt Franklyn's jazzy arrangements were originally meant to be played over the supposedly more modernistic Merrie Melodies title sequences that were introduced in 1962 or '63. Sadly they were never used because around this time Franklyn, who had been Carl Stalling's principal orchestrator, unfortunately and unexpectedly died of a heart attack in the middle of composing the Tweety and Sylvester cartoon "The Jet Cage", and the composition of the new shorts and their new theme were left to Bill Lava, who completed "The Jet Cage" and became the new musical director of the 1960s Warner Bros. cartoons, and it's Lava's off-key version of the Merrie Melodies prologues that ended up being synced to the cartoons with the newly revamped Warner's logos.
Mishandling of the audio part of the tape was the reason for that version, which likely occurred when AAP first acquired this and the other titles that made up the pre-1948 WB library in 1956.
Can you please do a retake of the video because there are other closing versions of the theme like plenty of money and you and dog daze, can you please add these variations on the retake?
Hey I asked you there were other variations of the july 1937 theme, can you please do a retake with these variations, also there was a version at the end of daffy duck in hollywood with the awful twang at the end before the music started, can you please put this variation as well
4:16 | The signature version.
Oh yes, especially through it's use on the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie reissues and on the A.A.P. logo appearing before the WB cartoons they used to own.

Merrily We Roll Along > The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down
Brings back my childhood memories😂
Ah, good times. Looney Tunes is the grandfather of comedic cartoons.
I like the 5:11 part
You forgot the one from Blazing Saddles :P
"Mongo like candy..." *BOOM!*
Hey, there was a Merrie Melodies outro with the awful out of tune twang sound at the end of Daffy Duck in Hollywood.
Mishandling of the audio part of the tape was the reason for that version, which likely occurred when AAP first acquired this and the other titles that made up the pre-1948 WB library in 1956.
4:45 is one of my fave
There was an ending theme version for the Merrie Melodies Theme in "A Cat's Tail"
There was another version that extends the ending used for "This is a Life?".
Also, not fond of the last one because it uses electric bass.
4:15 BEST ONE YET
Can you please do a retake of the video because there are other closing versions of the theme like plenty of money and you and dog daze, can you please add these variations on the retake?
the 6:41 milt franklyn enhanced veriant was original composed in 1955. not 1993
+Tornadoguy2002 storm chasing No you idiot. Milt Franklyn's original variant was from that year. This might be a re-arranged version :P
oh so it was re arranged in 1993? not 1955? dont want to cause an arguement
POSSIBLY....
You could ask the video author
i did ask him but he never answered
It's called "BE PATIENT"
Ever notice you missed the 2012 version (a la Daffy's Rhapsody?)
Merrie Melodies Merrily We Roll Along 1940s 4:16 4:35
1:01 is the best
the track used for the 1939-41 Merrie Melodies cartoons is my favorite for some odd reason
*1939-40
Hey I asked you there were other variations of the july 1937 theme, can you please do a retake with these variations, also there was a version at the end of daffy duck in hollywood with the awful twang at the end before the music started, can you please put this variation as well
