Crockett-Doodle-Do

Crockett-Doodle-Do is a 1960 Merrie Melodies short directed by Robert McKimson.
== Title ==
The title is a portmanteau of frontiersman Davy Crockett and "Cock-a-doodle-doo," an English representation of a cock crowing. 
== Plot ==
Foghorn Leghorn is going for a hike in the woods when he notices Egghead Jr. reading Basic Research in the Physical Sciences by Prof. Newt Ronn. Foghorn takes him out in the woods to learn scouting and woodcraft. He tries to light a friction fire with a spindle drill, but Egghead breaks off a twig, strikes it like a match on his buttock, and lights the fire for him. Foghorn calls the act impossible and tries it for himself, and sets his own tail on fire.
While Egghead returns to his book, Foghorn carves a duck call. When he blows it, a pig comes running, knocking Foggy off his feet and into a tree. Egghead carves his own call, which brings three bobbysoxer ducks to swoon over him. Foghorn then tries to send a smoke signal; he burns a hole in his blanket. Egghead signals back with a neatly typed and signed message in his smoke.
Foghorn rigs a watering can in a tree and tries to fool Egghead with an Indian rain dance. Egghead folds a paper airplane and uses it to seed a small cloud with dry ice, making actual rain and strike Foggy with lightning, leaving him featherless.
Foghorn shows him how to set up a box trap, but Egghead builds a snare trap. Foghorn scoffs and demonstrates how the snare will not work. He inadvertently sets off a Rube Goldberg-esque trap that springs the rooster up into the air, bounces him off a tree branch, launches him through a chute, down a hollow tree, and deposits him back at the snare, which triggers and hangs Foggy upside-down by his feet. Beaten, Foghorn asks him if he has any more of "those long-haired books."
== Notes ==
* This is the third and final appearance of Egghead Jr., and his only appearance without his mother Miss Prissy.
* This cartoon marks the third featherless scene of Foghorn Leghorn, after "Little Boy Boo" and "The High and the Flighty" (with Daffy Duck and Barnyard Dawg).
* Although this cartoon is available on VHS, DVD, and iTunes Video, it has seldom aired on American television since Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon due to the Indian rain dance sequence. Despite this, this cartoon had aired uncut and uncensored on international Cartoon Network and Boomerang feeds following the Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon years, and has also aired on MeTV this way in 2021.
