  Hungarian Rhapsodies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hungarian Rhapsodies, (S/G244, R106) Rapsodies hongroises or Ungarische Rhapsodien) are a set of pieces of music by Franz Liszt, originally for solo piano.
The large scale structure of each was influenced by the verbunkos, a Hungarian dance in several parts, each with a different tempo.
In their original piano form, the Hungarian Rhapsodies are noted for their difficulty (Liszt was a virtuoso pianist as well as a composer).

 Rhapsody Rabbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhapsody Rabbit is a Bugs Bunny animated short film from Warner Bros.
Bugs plays the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Franz Liszt for a concert audience while trying to remove a mouse from his piano.
The massive similarities could be coincidental, for "all great minds think alike." The animators at Warner Bros. and MGM were great at cartoons, and it could be likely that they all thought of similar concepts and expanded them, not knowing that similar situations resulted in each cartoon.

 Amazon.ca: 10 Hungarian Rhaps: Music: Franz Liszt,Gyorgy Cziffra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I am not actually a huge fan of Liszt--but my Mom was and is. Her favorite piece that she played on our piano was Hungarian Rhapsody #6, and our whole family loved to listen to this recording for its insane tempi, the rhythmic variations and pure fire in the expression.
This recording is perhaps the most characteristic of his playing, as the Rhapsodies are a fine canvas for exuberant expression and frank liberties not only with tempo and rhythm but even with the score itself.
Hungarian Rhapsodies #2, #6, and #8~#15 total of 10 are included.

 AlterNet: La Cicciolina's Hungarian Rhapsody
Speaking in an impassioned flurry of Hungarian, Italian and broken English, Staller, whose wide, full-lipped face is surprisingly wrinkle-free, claimed she was bitterly attacked by the government, betrayed by her campaign manager and kept down by a corrupt election system.

 Timeless Nation Chapter 24
The Hungarian composers of the period after the Compromise (1867) represented, with a few exceptions, neo-romantic, popular music trends, dominated by the demands of the unassuming middle-class tastes and Viennese bourgeois mediocrity.
Ferenc Lehar (1870-1948), the best known of the Hungarian operetta composers, freed himself from Vienese influence at an early stage and created an individual type of operetta of a rather philosophical style, often melancholic, with themes ranging well beyond that of the popular operetta of the period.
Bartok was a true Hungarian humanist: his love for his nation blended with his love for all his fellow humans.

It's easy to see the appeal of Sebestyén's voice to Western experimental musicians: its timbre and vibrato are at once so strange and so deeply, emotively human, it seems like the song of some alien siren (or, as Canada's Jane Siberry put it, "it's like she has a whammy bar in her throat").
And of course, Deep Forest and Towering Inferno are hardly the first non-folk musicians to become enraptured by Hungarian folk--Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály, and Ferenc Liszt all drew inspiration from their country's traditional music.
