Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

![A screenshot of text that reads: “"Dance Magic [its title later changed to Magic Dance] gave me a bit of a problem," the singer explained in a TV interview promoting the film. "It's a song for the Goblin King and the baby. In the recording studio the baby I picked - one of the backing singers, Diva [Gray], had this cute little baby, and couldn't put two gurgles together! And it wouldn't work for me. I mean it just wouldn't go; I kicked it, I did everything to make it scream, and it really buttoned its lip. So I ended up doing the gurgles, I'm the baby on that track as well."”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kilwmu6ocgrlrzovxykcekge/bafkreidlazprbw5qgze4qzborhnmkosnfj4e3rvgkhhfih5s7abcftaemi)
