 But for Me, It Was Tuesday: When the Crow greets him in the line outside the concert hall the Fox doesn't even recognize him, merely signing an autograph on his hand.

 Bait-and-Switch: The opening shows Fauntleroy in black tie and tails about to conduct. Instead of a classical orchestra, however, he's conducting Chester - who is playing all the instruments - as he plays a hot swing number in a nightclub.

 Cartoon Conductor: Rather than follow their sheet music, the orchestra wildly veers between different pieces as the Fox creates havoc with his baton. At one point the baton turns into a Yale pennant and the orchestra starts playing the Yale fight song.
