Talk:Tom and Jerry

MGM and a little bit on S&G was here when I got here.
Most of the other stuff is mined from the Oxford English Dictionary.
The Zappa story is from The Real Frank Zappa Book. Zappa met Simon and Garfunkel in New York and, as the oldies freak he was, was astonished to find out they had been Tom and Jerry. They were reminiscing about being on the road, which was already over for S & G and Zappa impulsively invited them to open the next night in Buffalo, with ensuing stunt. Some moron after the show accused him of making fun of S&G. "What did she think had just happened? That these two superstars had dropped in out of nowhere and we had forced them to sing 'OOO-boppa-loochy-bah, she's mine!'?" Ortolan88
Looks like this is a candidate for disambiguation. Danny
I don't think so. It is all of a piece, from the original down to S&G, all uses of the same two names, one naturally following the other. It progresses admirably from one to the next and tells a story of how a term came to exist and then continued to develop meaning in the culture. There is no ambiguity to be disambiguated. This is my favorite of all the articles I have worked on. I know it doesn't "belong" to me, but watch this space if disambiguation tries to happen. Cordially, Ortolan88 15:51 Jul 21, 2002 (PDT)

- I thought as a kid it mean to play at soldiers - Tommies -- the British -- and Jerries -- the Germans. - Sparky 05:27, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I really think this should go for disambiguation. The T&J animated films won those golden statuettes I can't even mention without causing a lawsuit upon Wikipedia, and more than only once. (In fact, I'd like more info about their picture The Cat Concerto e.g. which are the actual songs Tom & Jerry play in that picture). Again, I really think someone should do the disambig. Some entries, like the second and the third, seem more appropriate to the Wiktionary. Amorim Parga 01:50, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Am not able to view the tom and jerry image, can see only the alternate text, some problem ? Jay 06:33, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Van Buren's Tom & Jerry (the humans, not the cat and mouse) are sound cartoons. None of them are silent. --b. Touch 22:06, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC) --b. Touch 22:06, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
