S1931 E8 • Lady, Play Your Mandolin!
This is the first cartoon in the "Merrie Melodies" series. Things are hopping at a certain Mexican café. All the animals are singing. The tables are swaying to the music. The ape-waiter is dancing down the aisles as confetti and ribbons continually fall from the ceiling. And then Foxy walks in and the customers really go wild. He sings "A Gay Caballero" as he walks down the aisle. By the time he gets to his table, the show is ready to begin. The performer is a beautiful girl-fox singing "Lady, Play Your Mandolin." Foxy sings along, as his horse busts in and gets drunk.
S1931 E9 • Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!
This second entry in Warner Bros.' "Merrie Melodie" series stars Foxy and Roxy, who bear a remarkable resemblance to a pair of popular rodent characters then appearing in the Walt Disney cartoons. On this occasion, Foxy is a trolley-car conductor, enthusiastically singing the title song (later heard to even better effect in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit as he contends with fat hippo passengers, a recalcitant cow with a musical udder, a group of slightly effeminate hoboes, and a singing chicken in a stewpot. After picking up Roxy, Foxy embarks upon a wild ride indeed as his trolley careens out of control, leading to a mighty crash and a surprise ending.
S1931 E11 • One More Time
Warner Bros.' resident Mickey Mouse clone Foxy is now a helmeted, club-wielding policeman, prowling his beat to the rhythm of the cartoon's title song. Unfortunately, Foxy's neighborhood is Ground Zero for a violent crime wave perpetrated by a gang of birdlike gangsters. As the story rushes to its climax, the villains kidnap Foxy's girlfriend Roxy, forcing our hero to commandeer a mechanical horse and ride to the rescue. One of the cartoon's comic highlight is Foxy's encounter with a fat lady hippo, a carryover from his previous starring vehicle Smile, Darn Ya, Smile.
S1931 E13 • You Don't Know What You're Doin'!
This cartoon marks the debut of Piggy and Fluffy, Warner Bros.' newest Mickey-and-Minnie derivations. Our hero and heroine head to a vaudeville show, where Piggy gets into an argument with the "all funny animal" orchestra. Somehow or other, Piggy himself ends up on stage, where he is heckled by a trio of drunks singing the title song. This in turn leads to a chaotic drunken joyride through the streets of Merrie Melodie-land, complete with a talking car (voice provided by then-famous musician Orlando Slim Martin).
