These were wonderful! What a world where classical music memes can fill a post and get lots of laughs - at least among this crowd, I guess. I was on a group text recently and said, 'Kill the Wabbit'. Being of a certain age we all got the joke. Cheers!
One of the indicators of maturity amongst boomers is being able to sit through an entire performance of The William Tell Overture without once thinking of The Lone Ranger.
Warner Brothers were indeed my intro to classical music and great incidental music (if you can find it, The Carl Stalling Project is an excellent c.d.). I must be one of the few of my high school class that appreciates classical music (still listen to it in my car).

ReplyDeleteI wondered which performed the rectal.
And, yes, cartoons are the first place I heard classical music, too.
What a treat, classical music memes! 👏🏼 Thank you. That clarinet rectal tho…
ReplyDelete...keep the music playing.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is most likely correct for me!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOuch to that, um, clarinet joke!
ReplyDeleteThat Mozart story, if true, is hilarious!
I like Mozart even more now:)
ReplyDeleteThe Beethoven math question! How long is the 92nd psalm? Answer: a minute and a half.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't resist.
I will never hear classical music again but I will remember this post. Lol.
ReplyDeleteOf course I heard classical music on cartoons. However it took me years to realize it had a life before Looney Tunes.
ReplyDeleteOrchestras are 1800s over bands! Stealing that one. The dill piccolo is also funny.
ReplyDeleteOh my gawd, yes.
ReplyDeleteI clearly remember those episodes where Bugs goes Classical!
Also, Clarinet what?
XOXO
Yep, The Barber of Seville did it for me!
ReplyDeleteClarinet rectal? That does not sound like a good time. And I love the Bugs Bunny meme.
ReplyDeletethat first one rings true sadly for me. I learned most classical music from Bugs Bunny Cartoons. :-)
ReplyDeleteTo this day, I cannot hear "Ride of the Valkyries" without singing "kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit!" 🤗

What about the conductor who touched a live microphone cable but did not get a shock? He was a bad conductor.
ReplyDelete@ Tasker Dunham -- GROAN!
ReplyDeleteClarinet rectal...ouch!!!
ReplyDeleteYour post always has a way to make me smile
ReplyDeleteLove that Bugs Bunny cartoon. Especially the way Elmer Fudd finds his true transgender self in the climax.
ReplyDeleteBugs Bunny was both a mentor and role model for me as a child!
ReplyDeleteRe: image 1, ditto!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection, Bugs was one of my first loves.
ReplyDeleteHow far up would a clarinet rectal have to be to hit a c sharp?
ReplyDelete@ Mike -- Hahahahaha, good one!

ReplyDelete@ Gryphon -- I can't do it!
ReplyDeleteWarner Brothers were indeed my intro to classical music and great incidental music (if you can find it, The Carl Stalling Project is an excellent c.d.). I must be one of the few of my high school class that appreciates classical music (still listen to it in my car).
ReplyDeleteLove the fact about Mozart! Clarinet rectal ~ OMG! Thanks for the laughs, Debra!
ReplyDeleteMozart was a clever little devil.
ReplyDeleteMozart did that? Sounds like revenge.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day
Great post. I love the pickle.
ReplyDeleteI think dying after giving up passions is common
ReplyDeletewe recently attended The Barber of Seville. As the opening was played I knew everyone in the audience was thinking Bugs Bunny.
ReplyDeleteI am cackling at Mozart's level of pettiness.
