Walter Brennan and Gary Cooper in Meet John Doe.
Brennan plays an ocarina made out of a sweet potato and Cooper plays a harmonica.
The Lone Ranger Theme is taken from Rossini's "William Tell Overture."

Someone defined an intellectual as a person who could hear the William Tell Overture and not think of the Lone Ranger.

One wonders whether Rossini would be elated or horrified by this use of his music.

I wonder what Richard Strauss would think of Elvis's intros.

Where does the Lone Ranger take his garbage? Sing "William Tell Overture" : "To the dump, To the dump, To the dump, dump, dump!"  |
