I'm surprised at how many jokes they could fit in with the high-diving bit alone.

@wskowalski oops. just called my mother and now she doesn't remember who sang it (well, she is 84), but you can find it on You Tube under Open the Door Richard by several people. I guess The Three Flames had a hit from it in the late 40s.

@CatMoves1  thx cat. Gonna have to track that song down, I do enjoy the Mills Bros. whenever I hear something by them.

@CainmosniMirrored Kudos to both you and catmoves, thx for the info. I've wondered about that line for years....

[CainmosniMirrored]

@wskowalski "Open the door, Richard" is a song released in 1947. That line is a reference to that song. I'm assuming "Open the door, Richard" might have been a popular catchphrase in the late 40's because of it so Sam said "notice I didn't say Richard?" as a stab at the people that always said it.

@wskowalski I asked my mom that question a few years ago. according to her at that time there was a song out by the Mills Brothers called "Open the Door, Richard". It was a hit and radio stations played it to death. I guess people got sick of it and Warner Bros./Bugs Bunny being the little stinkers they are.........

answer: cartoon logic
