I never got it as a kid, partly because it was a difficult pun for that age. I didn’t know the word tune nor would I later pronounce it like that. The first forms of that word, I ran into, were radio tuner and car tuning, nothing I’d associate with music
Looney “Toons” is the stupidest one.
It was always a pun on toons by spelling it “Tunes” and because music is extremely prominent for it.
Disney had cartoon shorts were called “Silly Symphonies.” Not sure which came first, but one is a play on the other.
Especially in the early ones; they were basically ads to sell music from the Warner music catalog.
