In the 1970s, it was adopted by
WGN as the theme music for
The Ray Rayner Show, which featured Warner Bros. cartoons. In 1995, it was used as the closing theme of
The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. From 1994–2003, it was used by
Warner Bros. Television as part of their logo at the end of shows, in reference to the studio's production of
Looney Tunes and
Merrie Melodies shorts, it was arranged by
David Kurtz. The song shares a title with the 1934 play
Merrily We Roll Along by
George S. Kaufman and
Moss Hart, but is unrelated to it. The song is also an introduction to all the
Guns N' Roses concerts in their tour
Not in This Lifetime... Tour. The old folk song "
Goodnight, Ladies" contains the line "Merrily we roll along", which is often used as a child's nursery rhyme. The tune from the first line of the Tobias-Mencher-Cantor song matches that line from "Goodnight, Ladies", but the tunes diverge from there. ==External links==
