Name that song! ('cause I don't know the title. :p)

Seriously, this has been bugging me forever, mostly every time they show a Roadrunner cartoon. It is in the title music of "Chariots of Fur" & "Fast and Furry-Ous," mostly. Can someone please tell me the name, if possible? Peace.

I don't remember the main titles of either 'toon, but according to "The Carl Stalling Project - Vol. 2", the recurring theme is Smetana's "Bartered Bride". It is best heard late in 1957's "Zoom and Bored". Maybe someone else will be more helpful.

In the case of "Fast and Furry-ous," it is indeed music from Smetana's opera "The Bartered Bride," specifically the "Dance of the Comedians" from the ballet music. After starting off in a straightforward rendition for the title card, it briefly segues into a swinging big-band arrangement for the credits, then back to the original as the action starts.
