My love of music came from my mother, and my mother, born in 1945, literally got into classical music, specifically opera, because of Bugs Bunny.
“Hey Wayne?”
“Yeah Garth?”
“Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he dressed up as a girl bunny?”
(chuckles) “No.”
“Yeah, me neither.”

Spear and magic helmet?
Proud father here. All 3 of my children can hear this Gif.
I still remember the look on my daughters face the first time I casually put on looney toons. She was both confused and laughing.
When I first put roadrunner and coyote on for my kids they laughed so hard we couldn’t hear the TV. Good times!
I think it was the music writer Bob Stanley who pointed out that Looney Tunes’ use of classical motifs was largely responsible for the mainstreaming of classical music in postwar America.
Seattle’s 98.1 KING FM is a great classical station with a great streaming station.
At 12:00 PM Pacific Time the thirty minute long show Bach’s Lunch taught me to recognize Bach although I can’t name many if any of Bach’s songs; he has deep roots.
Fucking so worth it.
When I lived near Seattle, I loved the Gregorian chant, which I think was on Sunday evenings. I also loved the hosts as well.
I live elsewhere now, and the local classical station just isn’t the same.
This and the episode of Hey Arnold! where Arnold falls asleep at the opera and he finds himself in Carmen performing the habanera.
Man, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 is still a banger.
digimon.
