Wile E. Coyote chases the Road Runner, and his ploys such as glue on the road, a huge magnifying glass, an exploding piano, a cannon disguised as a camera, and an anvil dropped from a helicopter, all backfire on him, as usual.

Exploding musical instrument scheme is in three Warner Brothers cartoons. The musical score is "Those Endearing Young Charms". In order, they are, first is 1951's
Ballot Box Bunny, as Yosemite Sam tried to get rid of Bugs Bunny, with an explosive piano. Second is 1957's
Show Biz Bugs, as Daffy Duck tried to get rid of Bugs Bunny, with an exploding xylophone. Then, in 1965, the rivals are Wile E. Coyote and "Anonymous" Roadrunner, (not named), in
Rushing Roulette. Wile E. Coyote set up an exploding piano, and the roadrunner played one 'sour note'. Additional fact: The very same musical note, approximately the seventh note to the tenth note, is the note, that is not played correctly, every time and when correctly played, by the schemer, gets the explosion happening to it.
