Worth the Post?

It's not usual to hear the same tune being played in an MGM cartoon and in a Warner effort so I thought it would have been fun to devote a post about it.
Here's a scene you all know, from "Fast and Furry-Ous" (1949)[this same tune is used in a great number of Coyotes/Road Runner shorts though]



and here two clips from "Barney Bear's Polar Pest" (1944)
