High Note

Sign in to edit

High Note is a 1960 Looney Tunes short directed by Chuck Jones.

Plot[]

Various musical notes set up the sheet music to get ready for a performance of The Blue Danube Waltz. However, a sole note is missing. It turns out the note (a red-headed "High Note") is drunk upon staggering out of the sheet music to "Little Brown Jug", and the irritated composer chases after him to put him back in his place so the waltz can continue as planned. However, High Note wanders around aimlessly around the sheet, drawing a tic-tac-toe game on one of the sharp symbols and sitting on a semibreve to make it hatch out small notes like an egg. As the composer chases after High Note, the latter starts interacting with the notes on the sheet, turning a quarter rest into a dog, tie symbols into skis, and a beamed note as a horse.

The conductor rides another beamed note horse and uses a treble clef as a lasso to pursue after High Note. He successfully manages to capture him, and has the note attached to the sheet by a clothespin. However, as the conductor tries to perform again, not only is High Note gone, but every note after it has also been intoxicated from joining in with High Note at "Little Brown Jug". Meanwhile, High Note goes over to the sheet music for "How Dry I Am", and remakes the title into "We Am".
