As a foreigner I have a bone to pick with that expression. It took me years to find a native English speaker who could explain what it meant (that was before the internet) and even he couldn’t tell me where it came from.
I learned about classical music from Bugs. I’m a professional musician now, have been for a few decades. But I still hear the Bugs Bunny words when I play the Barber of Seville Overture.

It’s funny when people learn that it was actually Looney TUNES because all the cartoons were set to music.

I honestly think that Carl Stalling was an unappreciated musical genius.

What’s Opera, Doc?
I could only find bits and pieces.
Still, this is a great piece.

Bugs Bunny and Leonard Bernstein’s “Young People’s Concerts” were my introduction to classical music.
