Hi all, I have a “song” stuck in my head, that I’m pretty sure is from Looney Tunes (but maybe it’s actually a classical piece that they just used in the cartoons).
I can’t say for sure that it appeared in more than one cartoon, but it is firmly entrenched in my brain and I seem to remember it being in multiple episodes so I think it was a recurring tune.
Ok, so, here are the clues. It’s not really a song, but a musical backing piece. I remember it playing during a scene (or scenes?) with some sort of complex machinery operating, and the camera was slowly panning left-to-right or something like that. It is emphatic, dramatic, loud and very energizing.
Think of Sylvester, or Daffy, or something getting passed through some equipment that was flatting, stretching, or otherwise hurting them, in a drawn-out and excruciating and hilarious manner. I think that’s when this music would play.
I can’t remember the specific cartoon(s), or who was involved, honestly. Could have been any of the Looney Tunes or Merry Melodies cartoons.
And, although this is kind of silly, if this helps, the tune kind of went like this…
Dun DUN DUN da da da da da dun dun, da da da da dun dun!
At least, that’s how it sounds in my head, lol. If anyone knows the name of this piece, which episodes it was in, or even a youtube link, I’d really appreciate it! It’s been stuck in my head for like a week now, and it’s killing me!
The straight dope never disappoints!
