Line 6:
Very common in [[The Golden Age of Animation|Golden Age cartoons]] that employ [[Mickey Mousing]], where they may be used as a [[Leitmotif]]. Less so in modern cartoons, unless they have the budget to score episodes individually. If there is danger of having to pay money to use a piece of music, the piece can be imitated in style ([[The Jimmy Hart Version]]) or parodied. In [[The Renaissance Age of Animation|Renaissance Age]] [[Warner Bros]] cartoons, this often happened with movie scores. A few other unreasonable substitutes are very recognizable, though.
Many songs owe their entries on the list below to the work of Carl Stalling, the musical director for the vast majority of the Warner Bros. [[Looney Tunes]] cartoons. He had a well-known tendency toward musical quotation and punning; [[Chuck Jones]] was known to complain that Stalling would always use certain pieces of music in certain situations and would go out of his way to find preexisting pieces whose titles corresponded to the action he was scoring.<ref>Stalling would have been foolish ''not'' to make the most of the studio's great facilities: the vast Warner music catalogue and a full studio orchestra. Stalling's contribution to those Golden Age cartoons is noticeable when you compare the 1940s classics to the later shorts of the 1950s, with much more minimal scoring. (Classic Warner Bros. cartoons also used some songs that were neither public domain nor from the Warner music catalogue, particularly Raymond Scott's [http://raymondscott.com/MENsndf.html "Powerhouse"]).</ref>
Expect a fair amount of [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]] with classical pieces; the composers typically wrote these pieces for the precise contexts that their titles indicate (likewise with some pop songs). Many of these are [[Undead Horse Trope|Undead Horse Tropes]], but may reach a stage where they are [[Dead Horse Trope|only used ironically]].
