I just realized that there were several bugs bunny and tweety episodes a long rear end time ago that used classical music from Vivaldi and Beethoven and some operas. I've remembered them for 20 years now and occasionally thought about how good the music was for being created for a cartoon. Then like an hour ago I discovered Vivaldi's seasons and Beethoven's moonlight sonata and realized the music played in those cartoons was actual classical music. Mind blown

This song is mostly associated with Looney Tunes even though it also wasn't originally written for them. I loved the scene in The Simpsons where Homer explains what happens to bowling pins after they get knocked down that uses this song. The famous bit starts at 1:13: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaC0vNLdLvY

Bug Bunny is our trickster god. He is our Loki, our Coyote. One of the finest achievements of American culture without a doubt.

Bugs bunny was a classic iconoclast. A lupine cultural warrior armed to the teeth with dynamite. Like a hummingbird on speed.

And now you know why the cartoons were called Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. I didn't know myself until a few years ago that the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theme songs had names - "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" and "Merrily We Roll Along" respectively. Then I caught Who Framed Roger Rabbit when it came on TV at some point after that and felt smart for getting the reference to it that they made.

The reason the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies music was so great is that they put a full orchestral score in every single cartoon. The Warner Bros. orchestra's union had negotiated to keep the orchestra available full time at the studio for full pay. When the orchestra wasn't recording for a movie, the members had nothing to do but hang around and play cards on the company dime. The management decided to lend the orchestra out to the cartooning division to help keep the musicians busy, which meant that each cartoon got a unique score - one that matches up beautifully with the action on the screen - played by a live orchestra. These days it's cheaper and easier for a sound editor to build a synthetic orchestra from a library of audio clips, so we may never see a cartoon short scored like a classic Warner Brothers cartoon ever again.
