You're So Next

Through the magic of Google Video suileabhain found the classic Bugs Bunny shorts What's Opera, Doc? and The Rabbit of Seville. If pressed to choose I'd have to select these two of my favorite out of all of Bugs' adventures, although Water, Water Every Hare, featuring Gossamer ("Monsters lead such IN-teresting lives..") is up there too.

I think the appeal of What's Opera, Doc? and The Rabbit of Seville lies in the songs Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd sing to each other. Silly lyrics are the kind of things that kids (or at least this kid) take to very readily. Is there anybody my age (mid-thirties) who doesn't get a reference to "Kill the Wabbitt?" To this dayI can still sing scattered bits and pieces of The Rabbit of Seville. Remember this?

Welcome to my shop.
Let me cut your mop.
Let me shave your crop.
Daintily, daintily... Hey, you!
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!
