Merrie Melodies - To Itch Its Own - YouTube
After watching the completed cartoon, one naturally assumes the music was written after the fact to match the mood swings and timing of what the animators had already come up with. Carl Stalling composed one original score per week for 22 years at Warner Brothers Studios as the backing track to Loony Tunes and Merrie Melodies. Stalling wrote each score at the same time animators drew each cartoon. They worked from the same preliminary storyboard and only interacted to match timing cues. Stalling then led the Warner Brothers Studio Orchestra (a live orchestra) to record each short, maintaining precise timing with "click track" a synchronization tool who's invention is credited to Carl Stallings.
To Itch His Own” was the final score Stalling composed for a WB cartoon before retiring in 1958. The melody from Johannes Brahms “Cradle Song,” now better known simply as “Brahm’s Lullaby.
It’s a style that holds a unique place in American music and we can credit it almost entirely to Carl Stalling.
I prefer the Joel years, though Mike's politics are closer to mine, but I remember being surprised by this song. It's starts like bluegrass then veers into like a Punk/"The Sex Pistols" deal and then promenades.

The ABC Sunday Night Movie (ABC)
They used to have a plethora of different themes of openings and closings in a thirty-year period. This one here is from the late '70s and is probably the best of the themes.
On this one below, zoom over to the 3:03 mark, and you'll see a 1968 bumper. This was the first logo I'd ever seen in my life, but take a listen to the bumper music ABC used back then. I consider it to be classic.
