Franklyn used strings and flutes in his portion, arranged similarly to his earlier cartoons, while Lava's score sounds more mechanical and less orchestrated, with a xylophone at one point. Lava's first credited cartoon is <i><a href="/wiki/Good_Noose" class="mw-redirect" title="Good Noose">Good Noose</a></i>, also released in 1962. Although Lava's previous work also sounded mechanical, it was greatly enhanced by the studio orchestra.
