In the opera industry, Largo is what is commonly referred to as "a nonsense song." This particular pink elephant is widely considered the most difficult assignment any baritone can undertake. During the complete hair-trimming opera, this piece marks the initial entrance of the title character. Of course, it is important to note that the cheapskate "Poverty Row" Studio of the Groaning Fat Cat is blatantly plagiarizing the official Twelfth Greatest Cartoon of All Time, THE RABBIT OF SEVILLE, during which the skillful Mel Blank essays this tune as Bugs Bunny giving Elmer F. A shave. RABBIT beat MAESTRO to the screen by about two years. As they say in the opera business, Leo came up a day late and a dollar short.
