Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"Back Alley Oproar" is a 1948 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.Elmer Fudd is trying to get to sleep one night. Unfortunately his rest is interrupted by Sylvester the cat, who has chosen that evening to take a perch on a fence and give a concert. Elmer tries to make Sylvester shut up, only to grow increasingly frustrated as Sylvester repeatedly escapes him.This cartoon was The Remake of a 1941 cartoon called "Notes To You" that starred Porky Pig in the Elmer role and a random alley cat instead of Sylvester.

Bait-and-Switch: As Elmer goes up to the roof to hit him, Sylvester gives his sheet music to a dopey-looking tabby cat who, judging from the way he turns the sheet around, doesn't seem to know how to read music or is going to sing off-key and in a Simpleton Voice. Then he (she?) sings "Carissima" in a beautiful soprano voice. Sylvester's Spike Jones-esque rendition of "Angel in Disguise" includes two such gags. First he pulls out a line of firecrackers (as seen in the page image), three large ones and a small one. The big crackers pop underwhelmingly, while the smallest one goes off in a mighty explosion. Second, Sylvester pulls out a vase and a hammer and rears back as if to smash the vase, but instead taps it lightly.
