It's magic." In the 1953 Warner Brothers cartoon Robot Rabbit, Bugs Bunny reprised this parody in a shorter version. In a later short, 1963's "Transylvania 6-5000", Bugs hums/sings the melody, inserting magic words that he acquired from a book and unknowingly causing troublesome transformations in the short's antagonist, Count Bloodcount. The 1967 motion picture The Cool Ones featured Mrs. Miller doing a rock-flavored version of the song. See also
