Plot The Warners sing of all five senses, as well as other "senses" as the song becomes more bizarre and nonsens ical.
Crew Songs Trivia The dance that the Warners perform at the beginning would be used as their idle animation in the SNES game .
This is one of a few shorts where Wakko 's red baseball cap is off.
Ralph appears as a toll collector, Hello Nurse is a census taker and Rita appears in a kitty box outside an imaginary room. Scratchansniff appears as the unfortunate lumberjack.
Pinky and the Brain make a brief cameo in the song, in the cemetery.

The World Can Wait
Animation by Akom Film Production
Plot The Brain puts taking over the world on hold as he is in love with a lab mouse named Billie , however, she shares the personality traits of Pinky , so Pinky helps Brain talk to her a la Cyrano de Bergerac.
Crew Trivia The scene of Brain and Pinky checking on Billie would be used in the intro for the Pinky and the Brain spinoff
This cartoon marks the debut of Billie, who would make a few more appearances in the spin-off series and DC Animaniacs Pinky and the Brain comics. The character of Billie is modeled after the character Billie Dawn from the film and stage play Born Yesterday .
