    Interesting how merry go round broke down is used in more contexts that fit with carnivals or merry go rounds while merrily we roll along is treated as more a brand associate song like “oh look its bugs bunny!”

      I remember it being played in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, with both Roger and later Eddie making up their own lyrics:
      Eddie: I'm through with taking falls/and bouncing off the walls/Without that gun I'd have some fun/I'd kick you in the...*bottle falls on Eddie's head*
      Roger: Nose!
      Smarty: Nose? That don't rhyme with walls.
      Eddie: No , but this does! *kicks Smarty between his legs*

    Merrily We Roll Along. Eddie Cantor and his collaborators gave it its life and heart. But Carl W. Stalling, invariably gave it its soul!

    5:41 the irony here is Elmer walked by numerous parodies of other REALLY famous people at the time saying Bugs was the talented one, which was the joke at the time but now Bugs Bunny the probably the only one anybody remembers these days.

      Also, among the famous people is Eddie Cantor, who was one of the people who wrote "Merrily We Roll Along" (which was not only the theme song to Merrie Melodies but it also served as Bugs' theme song for a while, as a few clips in this video show), another subtle show of irony
