The implication made during a "Behind-the-Tunes" documentary short titled SING-A-SONG OF LOONEY TUNES is that without Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd warbling all the highlights from Wagner's infamous "Ring Cycle" and other notable operas during the seven minutes of WHAT'S OPERA, DOC?, Dick W. would be buried in the proverbial "Dustbin of History," since he provided the soundtrack and inspiration for Adolph Hitler's "Final Solution" extermination of half the World's Jews and many millions more, as if they were all expendable opera extras. Mr. Beck implies that the only way to inoculate such trashy "High Brow" fare capable of inducing Apocalyptic Genocide is to permanently affix the voices and faces of Bugs and Elmer in lieu of the Satanic Grotesqueries which originally emanated from the cesspool of Dick's demented imagination. Therefore, NO concert or opera audience should be exposed to Wagner UNLESS they're protected by a screening of WHAT'S OPERA, DOC? first!!
