A performance from the legendary "Madame Shrill" awaits "Betty" and her cousin who would much rather have just gone to the movies. A rather eccentric pianist gets himself organised before our soprano takes the stage to tumultuous applause before bursting into song just as the entire audience head for the arms of Morpheus. Now "Madame" isn't at all impressed by the noisy indifference to her art, so decides to up the tempo. Nope, still loads of snoring but luckily "Buzzy" decides to liven things a little by introducing a little comedy swing to the proceedings. Might that work? There's some lovely and lively synchronised tap dancing that's nicely animated, but the "Boop" cartoons were a bit like "Popeye" for me - they didn't really do much. Still, this is quite an entertaining little swipe at the pomposity of classical music and passes eight minutes amiably enough.
