Unknown music used in opening of "El Chapulin Colorado" in Brazil

this sample was made using found fragments of the song, the original song remains a mystery: https://youtu.be/Z6dPtQHzv4w

Chapolin Colorado (in Brazil) or El Chapolin Colorado is a 1970s sitcom that was shown on television between 1973 and 1978 and was broadcast by SBT in Brazil until 2020. It is a successful sitcom throughout Latin America. I believe that all of Latin America knows Chespirito (the creator of the work) and his series. It so happens that in Brazil we have an opening that shows a song that nobody knows, not even the name. And it is a mystery to Brazilians. Here is the video showing this opening version that has been stored for a long time: https://youtu.be/u6wqy6xi2Wk

What we know about this song: It first appeared, as far as we know, in 1987, in an intermission vignette of a show called Speedy González: https://youtu.be/Ztgh-XuxRaU

The following year, in 1988, it was used in a skit in the first episode of a TV show called "Vega o Gordo" and it is the longest record we have of this BGM: https://youtu.be/63xAt0KpjsE

In 1989, the song was used in TV commercials for the program "Chaves", but only in 1993 did it appear as the opening song for Chapolin. And since then he has appeared in reports, vignettes and specials related to Chapolin Colorado. It is known that BGM is registered in the file of the SBT broadcaster as "Chapolin Chamada", where it has only 32 seconds of cut: https://youtu.be/LF8OqoJ6NT4
