It's from a cartoon where Spike is an opera virtuoso (The Great Poochini) and he pisses off a stage magician, who then takes his revenge by zapping Spike with a magic wand during his performance. At one point he turns into a hula dancer, and the magician's rabbits (who are also ubiquitous throughout the entire cartoon) sing along with him.
My favorite Tex Avery cartoon of all time (besides the one where Droopy goes to the Olympics but Spike cheats and wins and has to be kissed by the world's ugliest woman) is the one about the black cat who defends his little kitten friend from a big mean bulldog by constantly walking across the bulldog's path.
Watching this as a kid, when he yanks the "hair" out of the bottom of the "frame," it totally blew my tiny little mind. I can only imagine the fourth-wall-shattering effect it had on the original audience.
