The one in Looney Tunes where Bugs Bunny (or was it Daffy) is running up and down stairs

BUM bum bum bum BUM bum bum bum...

It would be cool to put it on the ol' iPod and play it on the Stairmaster at the gym.

Well, if I weren't too afraid of what might come up as a result, I would google the lyrics [Wink]

So that describes two 4:4 measures, which probably represents 50% of all music ever written.

So do notes go up or down? How fast do the "bums" happen? Are the "bums" evenly spaced out, or is it like buuum bum bm bm bum.

I can't write the music notes here but:

(middle C and above are bold)

G A B C D D-flat D B
C D E F G G-flat G E
F A D F B D G B
C E G C E G C -(held for the 4th beat)

(then start over from the top)

Does that make any sense?

I think that's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.

I think it's from Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld. Let me do a bit of searching.

I was thinking Orpheus too, I have it on a cd, and that sounds right.

I'm listening to Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 right now, and it's there, several minutes in.

The Lizst response is correct. You will find this "tune" utilized for many, many cartoons. It usually makes for a great chase scene or finale.

Eh, late romantic music. It all sounds the same.

Also, I'm absolutely certain that bits of Orpheus have been used by Warner Brothers in the past.
