The Beeerooopp (sic) sound effect/Fin N Catty

[robtadrian]

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I'm new (thanks
to all the responses to my Saturday questions)...can anyone
explain the meaning of the above..for example at the end of Book
Review after the wolf tells everyone to keep it done "You crazies
(or sillies)" you then hear the above sound..also used in other
cartoons as well at the end
....also the title "Fin N' Catty" is a pun on what?
Thanks loads Robt

The beeeooop was a closing sound effect that coincided with the iris out and the closing titles. It sort of enhances/emphasizes it, I suppose. Bob Clampett performed it.

Not sure about Fin N' Catty, though.

[DR. BELCH]

That was a slide whistle, wasn't it? As for the title--"catty" means surly or slyly spiteful, but I'm not sure what the pun signifies...maybe a play on an expression like "fine and dandy", or on the name of a famous comedy troupe of the day....

[Jack]

Maybe it's meant to be Thin and Fat or Thin and Fatty? The title is sort of clever, "fin," like fish have, and "catty," like cat...

I think it's in reference to a food called "Fin and Hattie".

Finnan haddie - smoked haddock.

And Clampett did that noise. He says so in the documentary. It sometimes turns up as an "I'm shocked!" sound effect as well as for the iris out.

That sound effect can be done with the mouth very easily. I've perfected it myself. That's one of my all time favorite sound effects. Another one of my favorite SE's is the sound Hanna-Barbera characters like Fred Flintstone make when they're running.

[Larry T]

That was it- Finnan Haddie!! Thanks, I've always wanted to know how to spell it.

That "plappity-plapp" sound effect of the Flinstones running is one of my favourite sound effects, too. I also like the whirring sound they make when something is spinning around.

Another good one is the sound characters in Filmation cartoons make when they're floating........


Plus, that "boink" (when something pops up) and "Splat" (like the sound of a pie hitting someone) from the Disney cartoons I like too!!

I also just love those weird whistles whenever some moves in anyway on those DiC-made cartoons.

I've always liked the "ping" sound that capped the Filmation logo squence in the later years of the studio. I also like the "thud" that H-B used in Scooby-Doo, Megatron's fusion cannon blasts in Transformers, the "Firestar sound" from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (it's heard just about everytime Angelica becomes Firestar, IIRC), the sound Sunbow used whenever Zartan came out of or went into his camo mode in G.I. Joe (a sound which Filmation made in the 70s), and the Cobra and Joe laser rifle sounds (in that order) from G.I. Joe

I think Hanna-Barbera had probably the best sound effects. I always liked the noise that played whenever someone like Yogi Bear or Scooby Doo would start running and sort of "peel out", and you hear rapid-playing bongos. I also like the WB Road Runner cartoon noise when the Road Runner accelerates in slow motion, he does a "motor revv" noise, you know, "whirrr, wirrrrr, whirrr, whirrr, whir whir whirwhirwhirwhirwhirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" or something like that.And let's not forget Clampett's "iris out' noise or that "bee-dee yay-bee-dee yay-yay" noise. There's also a sound effect that originated in the old "Super Mario Bros." video games, and I believe it appeared in the cartoon series based on that game, among other places eventually. It's from when Mario kicks something, and it sounds like "bll-lip!"

That "bee-dee yay-bee-dee yay-yay" noise? What's that?

Unmentioned: the headshake/Bugs tickling Beaky's Adam's apple noise. "Ee-i-i-i-ee-i-i-i-ee-i-i-i-ee-i-i-i-ee-i-i-i-ee-i-i-i-ee-i-i-i-ee!"

[Mibbitmaker]

That's a hard one to spell, as well as to do vocally. I wonder what they used to make that sound? .......another one in WB, a vocal one like Beeeewoop, another one hard to spell. Actually, there are variations. The short one(like when Bugs' little muscles popped up in the boxing one by Jones) is sort of like "Boop", regular like "boink", longer(my favorite),"Bowingk" (Example: The 3 Bears pop their heads from the curtains to more than one of the aforementioned, last being the longer one, when hiding from Bugs Bunny.)(Bugs Bunny and the 3 Bears - Jones)

Are you talking abouth the "BUOINT!" sound, which happens in "Rabbit of Seville" when Bugs (in drag) jams his tail up into the air?

P.S.-Because that's a good one, too :D
