Go Go Amigo is a 1965 Merrie Melodies short directed by Robert McKimson.
Plot[]
Tired of the local Mexican villagers crowding around his display window to watch a television set showing a live-action bullfighting match, Daffy turns it off and declares that, to watch TV, they must come in and buy a set. This disappoints the villagers and they storm off.
Meanwhile, in a mouse hole in the store, Speedy and his friends are celebrating his birthday. Unfortunately, one thing is missing: music. Speedy goes into the main storeroom and turns on one of Daffy's radios. Daffy shuts off the music and tells Speedy that he must buy the radio. Speedy wants to play music to dance for free, with Speedy's friends forcing Speedy to find music source or they will leave.
Daffy first attempts to change the music from party music to sinister music. Daffy additionally tries to vacuum anyone who escapes the mousehole, but Speedy quickly dashes past to the plug of the vacuum cleaner and turns the music back on. Next, Daffy tries to tire Speedy by making him run back and forth, however, Speedy simply uses a plush and places a stick of dynamite in the radio, causing it blow up on Daffy's face but also blow up the radio too.
Speedy switches to phonographs, and Daffy attempts to break the records for them until Speedy replaces one of them with another stick of dynamite. Daffy cuts off the power so no radio will work. Speedy finds a transistor radio to play party music. Having enough, Daffy goes to the local radio station and holds the radio DJ at gunpoint, allowing Daffy to switch back to the sinister music. As Speedy's friends are about to leave, Speedy heads to the radio station and ties up Daffy, not only allowing him to replay the party music, but also give Daffy his comeuppance by spinning him on a phonograph nonstop.
