Glad I’m not the only one that loves this stuff! These are a few of my other favs:
I love that they used the joke four times and never bothered using a different song. Also only the Coyote properly triggers the bomb on the first hit.
I was just telling my mom the other day how much classical and jazz I was exposed to by watching Bugs Bunny and Charlie Brown.
This is so great! Thank you. I have won money for knowing the name of The Colonel Bogey March (was surprised as anyone to learn it isn’t “the Comet song”). And I love that the most famous passage from Orff’s Carmina Burana is about 20 seconds long in an early movement and it never comes back.
A couple viewings of Apocalypse Now should clear that right up for you. Blaring Wagner from a flying helicopter is not easily forgettable.
I would add that a ton of sports fans probably recognize Sam Spence numbers from all the NFL films. They make you want to run through a damn wall.
My favourite memory was my 3 year old daughter yelling “KILL THE WABBIT!” from her car seat when Die Walkürenritt came on the radio!
I’ve been studying classical voice for over a decade. I have two degrees in music. I’ve been in so many operas I’ve lost track of all the people I’ve met. And when I hear the overture to Barber, I still hear those damn lyrics. I guess it’s a sign of how great the Looney Tunes writers were.

Years ago I ended up at a concert with a mate from college, one of his female workmates and her rather cute friend. First piece from the orchestra was the overture to the Barber Of Seville. Once they played the opening chord, I was trying not to lose it, I could hear my friend stifling a snigger and if we’d made eye…
Hey what’s that song from? Ask MetaFilter commenters named 52 different tunes, mostly classical and big-band, that…
You don’t want it. It’s actually a replica of the IROC body on a 1998 Camry.
That’s actually a re-bodied Golf.
How much for IROC in background?
But.... Does it come with a fez?
They’ll never top the Bruce Campbell commercials
mines becoming my rally car. put forester struts on it (~2" lift) and bigger knobby tires, a lot of my driving is on potholed gravel roads so its been a great mod to do. The f150 is predominantly rust, yes, but I rebuilt the front end and you cant stop that 4.9 i6, so it is a great truck for haulin firewood and goin…
