Question
What was the music used whenever bugs was around a construction site; it sort
of sounded like machines were moving and work was being done. Minor key,
chromatic bass line...lot of clanging and that sort of thing

Answer
Hoo boy! Did the construction noise seem to be part of the composition or added as a separate track?  If part, it might be by Antheil, but I kind of doubt it.

My advice is to look on the disc and find the musical credits.  Sometimes they will even give you the specific pieces (if they're copyrighted - - bcs users must acknowledge use).  If no joy there, search on details of the actual cartoon by name.  Or something like "music Bugs Bunny cartoon."  You mgith find something that way.  Also, ck Wiki.  There may be a list of the cartoons with dates, animators, music, etc.

I have a PhD in musicology, with expertise in medieval - Renaissance - Baroque - Classical periods, but I'll try to help you with any period.

>>*****IMPORTANT NOTE*****<<: I do not answer questions marked "private." I don't want to type the same thing to someone else later if I typed it to you already! If you mark your request "private," I will send it back to you requesting you to remove the "private" flag. Thanks for your understanding. Remember, I'm a volunteer.

My answers are not toss-offs. If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find it.

I have many requests to identify a piece of music. If I can't identify it, I will tell you (1) what composer I think it is; (2) what composer or composers I think it is not; (3) what style period, genre, etc. I think it is or is not. And give you any other help I can to help you find the answer.

Please find a clear clip. In the interest of good computer hygiene, I will not download a clip. Nor will I go to a site where I must "register" in order to hear the clip. Please mount the clip on a public site for which you can give me a direct URL. Thanks for your understanding in this. Remember, I'm a volunteer!

Students, I do NOT do homework questions. The purpose of answering questions on assignments is not only to learn the information, but to LEARN HOW TO FIND IT. Re-read chapter. Look in the index. Look in the references given at the end of the chapter or elsewhere in the book. You also probably can find the answer using Google. Don't be lazy. I wouldn't be doing you any favors by doing your homework for you! I already know the answer. You don't. You need to find it. MORE IMPORTANTLY, you need to learn HOW to find it. That's the whole purpose of education, after all!
