Hep Cat Symphony

The hep cat in Tin Can Alley finds the mouse symphony orchestra practicing next door a constant disturbance to his jazzy jive. Dressed as the Pied Piper, he pipes them away, but the mice call the final tune.

oh my gosh... this is one of the best old cartoons

[@PTSmash]

One of the funniest of all classic cartoons is still just as funny now as it was years ago. Wish I could say the same for others.

I love that cartoon!

[@theoneandonlymem432]

I do as well. That cartoon is on the 12th and final disc of the Giant 600 Cartoon Collection by Mill Creek Entertainment.

[@theoneandonlymem432]

In my opinion, I like the mice better. I respect your opinion, though.

[@BatShakerJami]

Poor kittie :(

[@matrox]

LOL....Hep Cat got a major azzz wuppin.

[@theoneandonlymem432]

I like the mice and their orchestra better than the music that the cat plays.

[@mrksdlx]

oh man, do i miss some of the old cartoons....

[@fromthesidelines]

The mice were playing the "Poet and the Peasant Overture" by Franz Von Suppe, 'centrilius'...

[@fromthesidelines]

This was originally released in February 1949... Seymouir Kneitel was good at directing any Paramount cartoon featuring a musical theme {Popeye's "Me Musical Nephews" (1942) and "Symphony In Spinach" (1948), and Herman & Katnip's "Mousetro Herman" (1956)}...

This feud was between the cat and the mice. The bees weren't involved until the mice shot down their hive with a cello bow. Why'd they have to go and fight dirty?

[@supersid53]

The first selection the Mice orchestra perform is (middle section of) the Poet and Peasant Overture (Dichter und Bauer) by Franz von Suppe. The second piece is (finale of) the William Tell Overture [aka Lone Ranger theme] by Gioachino Rossini.

I have looking for this for years. I didn't know the name or even the song. thanks!

[@Aleph20]

what's the name of the song performed by the cat at the beggining? By the way, Does Pied Piper Overture really exist? I've searching for a while, with no apparent results. :(

[@vivamolina009]

haha aaawesome!!

[@davidavionaiz2744]

does anybody know the name of the song that the cat is playing in the opening sequence?

[@theoneandonlymem432]

I wish I did.

[@neton76]

someone even you download the bored cuckoo 1948.

[@IEATGLUE33]

The Pied Piper Overture is made up by the man who compiled this cartoon. I know its a great tune and I wish it existed. Maybe youll have to compose it yourself.

[@MagnoSicholasm]

i just wish it didn't end so violently...

[@Irishdrunkenpyro725]

I fucking love this, but i've been looking for the song that the mice play when they go postal on hep cat's ass, if anyone can tell me, i'd be pretty fucking happy, thx ^_^

[@theoneandonlymem432]

I wish I knew!
