History YMMV / LongHairedHare

** Bugs keeps getting Jones caught up in GotMeDoingIt during the rehersal, with Jones singing along to the lyrics before catching himself.

* {{Applicability}}: Some critics have interpreted this cartoon as symbolic of the CultureClash between high-culture connoisseurs -- those who among other sophisticated cultural tastes listened to, appreciated and were patrons of classical, jazz, show music, opera, perhaps sacred music and other "fine" music -- and those who listened to mainstream popular music styles (vocal pop being the prevalent popular music style of the day, but also folk and country) and had more pop culture tastes. In one analysis, Giovanni Jones was used to personify those who consider pop culture as undignified and "a disease," hence his constant losing his temper every time he finds himself singing along with Bugs, and beating up the bunny when his rehearsals are constantly interrupted and his concentration interrupted. Conversely, Jones could also be viewed as a pure asshole, and that his tastes, like those of the very rich, are a sign of arrogance and smugness, as compared to the everyday, humble folk represented by Bugs (with whom the rich are characterized as thinking very unkindly of). In the end, the “high culture” group, personified by Jones, is — on what should have been Jones moment of triumph and glory — made to look utterly foolish during the concert, especially the finale (Bugs-as-Leopold conducting a comically absurd and insipid random mishmash of notes with the long-note ending, deliberately done to embarrass and humiliate). It helps that one popular analysis for WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes's rivalry with Creator/{{Disney}} as to which were the better cartoons during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation is that "Disney was like classical music, but Warner Bros. was like jazz" (ie, both were of equal importance for completely different reasons).

* GeniusBonus: Yes, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Stokowski Leopold]] was a real person (you'll know him if you've ever seen ''{{WesternAnimation/Fantasia}}''), and yes he was known for conducting without a baton (which is why Bugs breaks it when offered one).

* NightmareFuel: Seeing the battered Giovanni after the Bowl collapses on him, and then witnessing that last boulder falling on him to end the cartoon[[note]]which, to be fair, happens [[OffscreenCrash off screen]][[/note]], is actually quite unsettling. Not that he didn’t deserve it, mind you.
* WhatAnIdiot: Giovanni could have just asked Bugs to stop playing or play elsewhere. This gets even worse if you look in the background of Giovanni's living room, and see that his ''patio door is wide open'' for some reason. Not only is Giovanni's violence uncalled for, he didn't even have to confront Bugs at all, he could simply have closed the door (but obviously that wouldn't have been as funny).
** He has another moment of this in the cartoon's finale. Even after what he went through when holding that ridiculously long note (the ''entire Hollywood Bowl'' collapsing on him, his clothes being ripped to shreds, etc.), Jones is ''still'' more than happy to hold that same note one last time before the final piece of the Bowl drops and clobbers him.

* CultureClash: Some critics have interpreted this cartoon as a clash between high-culture connoisseurs -- those who among other sophisticated cultural tastes listened to, appreciated and were patrons of classical, jazz, show music, opera, perhaps sacred music and other "fine" music -- and those who listened to mainstream popular music styles (vocal pop being the prevalent popular music style of the day (late 1940s), but also folk and country) and had more pop culture tastes. In one analysis, Giovanni Jones was used to personify those who consider pop culture as undignified and "a disease," hence his constant losing his temper every time he finds himself singing along with Bugs, and beating up the bunny when his rehearsals are constantly interrupted and his concentration interrupted.

** The ending, not only for the absurdly long note Jones is forced to hold, but the fact that Bugs nonchalantly ''leaves, orders earmuffs by mail and comes back'' as his disembodied glove forces him to hold it for god knows how long. It's one of ''the'' funniest scenes in animation history.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Even in the un-[[{{Bowdlerization}} Bowdlerized by CBS]] version, it's entirely possible to see Bugs as an insensitive {{Jerkass}} in this short, in that Giovanni Jones is attempting to rehearse for an obviously important performance and Bugs' incessant singing is a very real distraction. On the other hand, it should be noted that Jones never once says to Bugs "Look pal, I've got a very important concert tonight I need to rehearse for, could you cut me a break, thanks" but rather defaults to physically assaulting Bugs and destroying his property without explaining anything, leaving Bugs to think he's just a "music hater".
