 NB>> the line is the sort that would catch your attention

 MK> Yes it is.  Good thing I was half paying attention.

I guess so... 

 MK> As we speak I happening to have it on and there is a commedian doing a

The radio, you mean...  And are you meaning that you'd just as soon have
missed, or that it was a fortunate thing you were able to catch it... 

 NB>> After which you appreciated the song even more

 MK> Not really but it did help explain why it never matched the premise of
 MK> the TV show ... except maybe the "got youself a gun" line which is
 MK> something that gangsters feel is a required tool of their trade ... or
 MK> so I am led to believe. 

Indeed.  Or at least a perceived need...  

 NB>> but the other cartoon studios also used classical, often from
 NB>> opera, musical selections

 MK> I recall "Bugs Bunny" doing an opera(s) way back when.  I seem to
 MK> recall it being small clips from different operas designed to more or
 MK> less match the action.  Elmer Fudd was hunting wabbits if I am not
 MK> mistaken.  There was one scene with the "Barber of Seville" which is
 MK> the only thing that comes to mind at the moment. 

Where Bugs is dressed like a barber, and sings a version of Figaro's
song... yes that was one cartoon episode...  

 MK> Looking down at the bottom of this reply I see that we're getting very
 MK> close. 
 MK> ... Cybertoasts of note:
 MK> 2019-01-01 is   23 days from now and falls on a Tuesday.
 MK> 2024-11-05 is 2158 days from now and falls on a Tuesday.

Indeed.... and closer yet, now...   less than 3 weeks now...  
Getting to be close enough to start making plans, perhaps..
