What survives of the original end title music for "For Better or Nurse" sounds about the same as the original end title music for "Tops in the Big Top", which survives, so WB could have used that.
WB can boast that they used the restoration team that worked on
Gone With the Wind and
The Wizard of Oz to restore the Popeye cartoons. But they need someone who knows something about Popeye cartoons to act as a consultant so these mistakes don't keep happening. (Not properly fixing the out-of-sync soundtrack during the big fight scene in
Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves is probably the most glaring example.)
WB completely replacing the original end title music of "All's Fair at the Fair" with the end title music from "Olive Oyl For President" is aggravating as well. I assume it was done because of the audio glitch in the original end title music. But the aap print of "All's Fair at the Fair that I recorded off WTBS in the late 1980's did
not have that glitch in the end title music. Another case of a mistake being made because WB doesn't have someone who knows something about Popeye cartoons acting as a consultant/adviser.
