As suggested by the title, this puzzle is about Looney Tunes. As confirmation, there are hints in the flavor text (“crazy song” referring to Looney Tunes, and “bugs” referring to Bugs Bunny).
The first sentence of the flavor text says that both the individual lines have been mixed up (i.e., this is an anaquote puzzle) and that the characters have mixed up their lines (i.e. each character is saying a catchphrase of another character).
Rearrange the IPA trigrams to form a Looney Tunes catchphrase being spoken in the dialect of a different character:

Pepé Le Pew | ɛ |
Tweety Bird | p |
Porky Pig | t |
Daffy Duck | a |
Elmer Fudd | ɪ |
