Sufferin' Succotash!

The problem with setting my iPod to "Classical" music at work is that I keep seeing Bugs Bunny prancing around as either a valkyrie or a barber...

*grin* I bought the "Bugs Bunny on Broadway" soundtrack several years back specifically for that song. :-)

Bugs: O mighty warrior of great fighting stock
Might I enquire to ask, eh, what's up doc??
Elmer: I'm going to kill the rabbit!!
Bugs: Oh mighty hunter t'will be quite a task
How will you do it, might I enquire to ask??
Elmer: I will do it with my spear and magic helmet!
Bugs: Your spear and magic helmet?
Elmer: Spear & magic helmet!
Bugs: Magic helmet?
Elmer: Magic helmet!
Bugs: Magic helmet
Yes, magic helmet and I'll give you a sample
Bugs: Bye
Elmer: That was the rabbit

Bugs: How do?? Welcome to my shop, let me cut your mop, let me shave your crop
Daintily, daintily
Elmer:Hey you!!
Bugs: Don't look so perplexed, why must you be vexed, can't you see you're next
Yes you're next, you're so next
How about a nice close shave
Teach your whiskers to behave
Lots of lather lots of soap
Please hold still don't be a dope
Now we're ready for the scraping
There's no use to try escaping
Yell & scream & rant & rave
It's no use you need a shave
Elmer; Ooh ouch ouch oh ouch oh oh ouch
Bugs: There, you're nice and clean
Although your face looks like it might have gone through a machine

the rest:
Elmer: Oh, wait until I get that rabbit
Bugs: What would you want with a rabbit
Can't you see that I'm much sweeter
I'm your little senorita
You're my type of guy
Let me straighten your tie
And I shall dance for you

(Um... "Hey you!!" is also Bugs, not Elmer.)

I absolutely cannot hear Barber of Seville without the image of Bug Bunny massaging Elmer's head followed by flowers popping out of his scalp flashing through my head.

The last (and only?) time I saw The Barber of Seville, they had the cartoon going on continuous loop out in the lobby during intermission. ;-)

That's too cool.

wagner is forever ruined (or perhaps improved) thanks to mel blanc.

And Anna Russell, but yeah. (I'd argue for "improved," personally.)
