** Similarly, the footage in "Devil's Feud Cake" was almost entirely culled from earlier shorts. But the music by Bill Lava was brand new.
** "Freudy Cat" is a ClipShow cartoon. For the older film clips that it uses, some (though, oddly, not all) of the music by Carl Stalling was replaced with new music by Bill Lava.
** The 1951 short "Rabbit Every Monday" contained a scene where Bugs pretended a party was happening in the oven, and jazzy music is heard every time the oven door is open. The short was included as part of the TV special "Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet"; the oven music was replaced with something more contemporary (specifically, disco music).
