Daffy Duck and Egghead is a 1938 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series. It features the early, zany version of Daffy Duck, who spends the film harassing Egghead. It includes a set-piece song-and-dance number by Daffy (shown with a blue band around his neck, instead of the usual white), doing his own variation of The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down.
This was a Blue Ribbon cartoon for many years. For television airings, a Merrie Melodies Blue Ribbon title card, made for the 1995 dubbed version, was shown, much like in television airings of The Night Watchman. Afterwards, the title of the episode was in the older Blue Ribbon title card from the 40's. For DVD release, the original title cards to this episode were shown. Oddly, the 1940's Merrie Melodies end music played over the end title.
