So my co-worker and I are discussing old Looney Tunes, and the one with the opera singer came up. I started singing the song that Bugs Bunny sings that annoys him, which has a line like, “What do they do in Jersey City / When skies are pretty” or something like that.

Anyone know this tune? I wish someone like Rhino Records would release a CD with all these old vaudeville songs that Bugs used to sing.

Bugs didn’t sing old vaudeville songs; he sang Harry Warren songs. See [http://www.harrywarren.org](http://www.harrywarren.org) for a listing by film. You can also listen to MIDI files of many of them if the names don’t ring a bell (though they will).

You can find many of the songs on [this](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000033N9/qid=1045511751/sr=8-8/ref=sr_8_8/102-4621702-0511362?v=glance&s=music&n=507846).
