"They will see us waving from such great heights.
'Come down now,' they'll say.
But everything looks perfect from far away.
'Come down now,' but we'll stay."

Be Vewy Vewy Quiet
What's Opera, Doc, one of the classics. I learned more about opera from Looney Tunes than I did from anyone else until I grew up.
Thanks for this! Is there anything better than Wagner and Elmer Fudd? I don't think so. These introduced me to classical music, too--Bugs Bunny as "Leopold"--bringing the opera shell down around the pretentious but obedient tenor. Or Bugs Bunny as the Barber of Seville!? What a classic. Or, less highbrow, the frog in the building cornerstone that only sings ragtime when no one's looking. I can still make my daughter laugh by bursting into a chorus of "Kill the Wabbit!!!" These guys were geniouses
