Rhapsody in Rivets is a 1941 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, featuring the "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" by Franz Liszt as "performed" by a team of animals constructing a skyscraper. The construction foreman, a lion, conducts their efforts. There is no dialogue.

Notes

It was reissued two times; once in 1947 (evident of the closing card) and again in 1955. It is one of two Leon Schlesinger cartoons to be reissued during the 1954-55 season and onwards. The other is "The Trial of Mr. Wolf", but that one has since had its original titles restored. However, "Rhaspody in Rivets" does not survive with original titles and Color Rings.
