But, in cartoon music, unless it's something incredibly new and different,
like an animated feature, there really isn't that big a variety on music.
Most music, especially in Warner Bros. Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies and
related spinoffs have their theme, 1812 Overture (aka "The Anvil Song"),
Ride of the Valkyries, In the Hall of the Mountain King, and a few others,
and they just keep playing those over and over forever.

Wouldn't one assume they have it recorded once and just keep using it? (I
know I'm wrong, but I'm also curious about this too)
