What happens

Road Runner a Go-Go is a 1965 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon. It is one of three cartoons reused from the unsold pilot Adventures of the Road Runner (the others were To Beep or Not to Beep and Zip Zip Hooray!). The short was released on February 1, 1965, and stars Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Milt Franklyn was credited as the musician with the correct spelling of his name. Unlike To Beep or Not to Beep, this cartoon doesn't feature an entirely new soundtrack by Bill Lava, due to budget cuts. The cartoon includes the sequence of Adventures of the Road Runner with Wile E. Coyote speaking to the viewing audience. The cartoon also features a theme song called Out in the Desert, loosely based on the song Down by the Station. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
