Orchestra Gag - Carl Stalling (1942)
from The Carl Stalling Project, Vol. 2: More Music From Warner Bros. Cartoons 1939-1957
“He was a brilliant musician. But the quickest way for him to write a musical score… was to simply look up some music that had the proper name. If there was a lady dressed in red, he’d always play ‘The Lady in Red.’ If somebody went into a cave, he’d play ‘Fingal’s Cave.’ If we were doing anything about eating, he’d do ‘A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You.’ I had a bee one time, and my God if he didn’t go and find a piece of music written in 1906 or something called ‘I’m a Busy Little Bumble Bee.’” — Chuck Jones (via wiki)
