It [[OneShotCharacter doesn't have any of the classic characters]] and doesn't involve the voice talents of Creator/MelBlanc at all. It is a dialogue-free cartoon concerning the sheet music for a performance of "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss. We see a squadron of anthropomorphized musical notes literally constructing the sheet music, laying out lines that form the staff, bending a long line as if it were an iron bar into a G-clef. Having all the construction on the paper completed, the various notes take their place. A conductor note starts off the performance, and we hear the music of "The Blue Danube".

Two tropes in one. The example fits Banned Episode moreso (which is Trivia).

* {{Bowdlerization}} and BannedEpisode: This cartoon wasn't edited for anything when shown on American TV in the 1980s and 1990s, but you're not likely to see it much these days due to the cartoon centering on playing drunkenness for laughs (not even Cartoon Network or Boomerang airs this). It is, however, available on most home media releases, such as the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection (volume 3).

* DoubleEntendre: "High" can refer to a climactic musical note (the highest register of the piece) or to being piss-ass drunk or stoned.

''High Note'' is a 1960 animated short film (7 minutes) directed by Creator/ChuckJones.
It doesn't have any of the classic characters and doesn't involve the voice talents of Creator/MelBlanc at all. It is a dialogue-free cartoon concerning the sheet music for a performance of "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss. We see a squadron of anthropomorphized musical notes literally constructing the sheet music, laying out lines that form the staff, bending a long line as if it were an iron bar into a G-clef. Having all the construction on the paper completed, the various notes take their place. A conductor note starts off the performance, and we hear the music of "The Blue Danube".
Except we only get a couple of bars into "The Blue Danube" when the music comes to a halt. There's a missing note. It turns out one note has gone off into the sheet music for "The Little Brown Jug" and gotten rip-roaring drunk. The conductor note tries to get the drunk note into its rightful place on the top line, but the drunk note refuses to cooperate. A merry chase ensues as the drunk runs all over the page.
----
!!Tropes:
* AlcoholHic: The drunk note is doing this after it leaves "The Little Brown Jug".
* CartoonConductor: Goes on a frantic chase trying to haul down the drunk note.
* CreditsGag: The "D" in "Directed by Chuck Jones" is drawn to look like a musical note.
* FollowTheBouncingBall: Used to show the process of the music through each note as the camera pans over the Blue Danube waltz--until the bouncing ball (actually a spotlight) halts because a note is missing.
* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: With notes actually running around a piece of music as it plays.
