Foghorn Leghorn

Foghorn Leghorn is a character that appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons for Warner Bros. He was created by Robert McKimson, and starred in 28 cartoons between 1946 and 1963 in the Golden Age of American animation. Foghorn is a large, white adult Leghorn rooster with a sterotypically Southern accent, a "good ol' boy" speaking style, and a penchant for mischief. Most common among himself was his humming a song called, "Camptown Races" in which the intelligible words "Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah!" makes him singing along. He sneaks up in front of the sleeping Barnyard Dawg at his doghouse, picking up his tail and rapidly whacking, and gives him a chase.

Foghorn Leghorn's voice was played by Mel Blanc who provided the others like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales, Sylvester, and Tweety.
