Known best in his time as a composer of production music, Scott is today regarded as an early pioneer of electronica. Though Scott never scored cartoon soundtracks, his music is familiar to millions because Carl Stalling adapted it in over 120 Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and other Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. His compositions may also be heard in The Ren and Stimpy Show (which uses Scott's recordings in twelve episodes), The Simpsons, Duckman, Animaniacs, The Oblongs, Batfink, Puppetoons, SpongeBob SquarePants and Bluey. The only time he composed to accompany animation was three 20-second commercial jingles for County Fair Bread in 1962.
