Anyone should know the answer to this one, Bugs Bunny of course! 

Let's face it, Woody Woodpecker would destroy the piano keys within a few bars.

Tom and Jerry, well they're a duet, pretty easy to play if you only have one part to worry about.

Bugs does it all himself!

End of discussion.


Cheers

Bugs. He did it first, and best.  Much better than Tom and Jerry.  Better than Victor Borge even, and he had the help of a human.  Bugs did twice as much, and with a mouse even.  I haven't heard Woody Woodpecker's version, but I'm still going with Bugs.  Woody Woodpecker is a bird.  How can a bird play the Hungarian Rhapsody?  I don't even think there are woodpeckers in Hungary.  But the mighty bunny rabbit reigns everywhere.  If you think that a bird, with all its feathers and dinosaur genes and laughable beak and stupid hollow bones can outplay a rabbit, with its insatiable virility and sublime earriness, then you are only fooling yourself.
