Freberg began making satirical recordings for Capitol Records, beginning with John and Marsha and Ragtime Dan, released on February 10, 1951.[4] A seasonal recording, The Night Before Christmas/Nuttin' for Christmas, made in 1955, still remains a cult classic. He scored a huge success with John and Marsha (released in both 45-rpm and 78-rpm formats), a soap opera parody that consisted of the title characters (both played by Freberg) repeating each other's names. In a 1954 follow-up, he used pedal steel guitarist Speedy West to satirize the 1953 Ferlin Husky country hit, A Dear John Letter, as A Dear John and Marsha Letter (Capitol 2677).
This is the entire exchange — done over and over to hilarious effect — from Freberg’s classic “John and Marsha,” a parody of soap opera dialogue that would be the first of many hit records he would release in the 1950s. After a few years, he started writing commercials. He won 21 Clio Awards in his brilliant career, and Advertising Age named him one of the century’s 100 most influential figures. He’s considered “the father of comic advertising.”
That is one thing that Looney Tunes is so good for.
I mean, you can learn a lot about the basics of opera by watching the barber of seville cartoon. That shit is awesome. Also whenever they had episodes with popular actors of the time is a good cultural time capsule.
yeah, well you guys didn't have a gay drunk spaniard cry and duet with you while you were hoodwinked into total eclipse of the heart, so I don't wanna hear it
I'm gay.
Also Dave doesn't sing, or even try. He yells at the top of his lungs.
I couldn't hear myself blink.

Because that scene turned me on so much as a kid.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
It's just an old movie thing of people just saying their names over and over but with different inflections.
recently it was done on Mad Men and here is an explanation (i have not watched the video but it promises to explain!)

I don't even know where that bit originally comes from but I've been referencing it since I was at least 10
It was probably in a Looney Toons that I saw once
edit: oh you posted a video!

I was talking about the scene in the Brady Bunch movie where the oldest siblings watch sillouttes of each other undressing.

That was in A Very Brady Sequel. I love that the oldest Brady son was the voice actor for Spider-Man in the 90's cartoon.
Plus his butt.
