Tasmanian Meltdown is the name of the Merrie Melodies in Newspaper Thief.
Lyrics
Oh, there's a rumble in the backyard
It's a shakin', twistin' cloud
Seems someone's pet is getting way upset
And, Lord, it's something awful loud
He just swallowed up his doghouse
Knocked a barbecue into space
Then he sucked up Bugs' swimming pool
And spit out a tidal wave
Tasmanian Meltdown comin'
There's a meltdown comin'
Well, you better start a-runnin'
When the ground starts hummin'
There's a meltdown comin'
I don't know what sets him off
(Taz: I don't know.)
Is he upset about a girl?
(Taz: No!)
It's anyone's guess 'cause he's not the best
Communicator in the world
(Taz: Don't judge me.)
We'd love to get him settled down
But he just smashed through the wall
He got the police chasing after him
'Cause he's headed for the mall
Tasmanian Meltdown comin'
Like a hurricane comin'
(Taz grunts the last couple of bars in time and tune with the melody)
