After some music we find our character, Foxy. He is riding his horse to the party to have some fun. He arrives and plans to go in but his horse wants in on the action. Foxy ties his neck around a cactus (Imagine how horrible that would be!) and goes in.<\/p>\n<p>He drinks and the entertainment begins. It is Roxy and Foxy asks her to (all together now) &#8220;Play her mandolin!&#8221; She complies and more music ensures. The horse is ticked at being left out and unties himself. He yells some thing and Foxy breaks some tequila over his head. His horse gets drunk and comes in. He drinks more and starts to hallucinate wildly. Pretty scary. He burns up and our characters finish their song.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 4 (First cartoons aren&#8217;t supposed to be this good.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Hola!&#8221; This is the first Merrie Melody and is one of my all time favorites, so lets get this party started.
