RICE KRISPIES OPERA

[@Deoxy360]

Eliot Roger couldn't get rice crispies from women, that's why he went on a rampage.

[@LakituAl]

He snapped, got crackling and popped.

As a child of the 1960s I am forever saddled with these lyrics popping into my head whenever this melody hits the classical music radio station. And some people say advertising has no effect. Ha!

Much respect!!! Thank you for your service!

[@dan797]

Yes

[@JamesJones-zt2yx]

Isn't it amazing how much popular culture back then introduced the general public and especially children to high culture? This is a prime example, and so are lots of Warner Brothers cartoons, e.g. "What's Opera, Doc?", the one with Daffy as Robin Hood (the intro has Porky Pig as Friar Tuck riding on a donkey and singing "Barbara Allen"), or the one where Bugs Bunny dresses up as "Leopold" (Stokowski, but they never say that name) to deal with a tenor once and for all? But now? No, it's [current year], and everything that came before must be destroyed.

[@maciasantonia1970]

The whole show is a parody of EVERYTHING new and old; mostly old, though...because, most people don't know or remember the old, due to not being old enough to know.

[@HexenDarkside]

What a rollercoaster of emotions... the instant drop for ecstasy to misery when he realizes there are no more Rice Krispies is truly heartbreaking.

While they were singing in English, I wrote the words they were singing in a different language and that different language I wrote the words in was in French because sometimes, operas are performed in France and here they are; Mara, passer les riz krispies de Kellogg avant que tout soit parti. Pas plus riz krispies! Nous avons manqué de riz krispies! mes larmes ne vont pas arrêter jusqu'à ce que j'entends Casser, crépiter. pop! J'ai apporté plus riz krispies. C'est ma belle-mère.
