The Lost Looney Toons


Listen to the following link. Cool, huh?


It reminds me of Looney Toons. I always loved how the mixed classical music and physical comedy. For this particular piece I feel this would work best with Donald Duck. Imagine him starting a new job as a typist (which would never happen as this was traditionally a woman's job, but go with it). As the other workers busily go about their work, Donald struggles to get the contraption working properly. As he is about it sit down at his desk, someone finishes their line. Ding! Donald is struck in the head. Dazed and angry, he makes a second attempt. Swipe! This time from the other side. Quacking to himself, he sits down, feathers more than ruffled. Finally finding his rhythm, he begins to type. Dodging the platens as the carriage release levers are pulled, sneering and quacking with each near hit. Gaining confidence, he types and types. He even begins to smile!

Ding! Bang!

Donald ends up beak down on the floor.
