High culture

The kids have been re-watching season 2 of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

I was jiggling the baby the other day and attempting to sing the William Tell Overture.

I kept getting it wrong and then realized I was singing the Dudley Do-Right theme song.

So I found the William Tell on YouTube and got the kids to listen to it a couple of times.

Which put me in mind of that other Rossini classic, The Barber of Seville, so I found that.

Which, of course, made me think of Bugs Bunny. I found Rabbit of Seville.

Which led to the wagnerian What's Opera Doc.

Full circle to old cartoons.
