50 years ago

As mentioned in the excellent Bad Astronomy Blog, it was 50 years ago that this marvelous cartoon was first broadcast.
Generally held as the best cartoon made, it goes by many names, but generally "What's Opera, Doc?" and has, for myself as well as many others, resulted in people singing "Kill the Wabbit!" to some classic opera.
Enjoy!

Have you come across the Metallica version of Elmer singing Kill the Wabbit? Brilliant!

I'd like to thank you for finding that so that i could share it and educate the world!
Funny stories relating to this cartoon include speculation of innuendo to singing of 'spear and magic helmet' and sharing Metallica's (quite different) version with randoms in France!
