The author of the re-written lyrics used in the cartoon is most likely Stalling or Michael Maltese. "My Gal is a High-Born Lady" is given alternate lyrics, as Barney Fagan's original 1896 song had a racially stereotyped subject and lyrics. The soundtrack includes " Largo al factotum" from Act I of Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville Arthur Schwartz's "A Rainy Night in Rio" Barney Fagan's "My Gal is a High-Born Lady" Herman Hupfeld's song "When Yuba Plays the Rumba on the Tuba" – played by Bugs on a sousaphone the sextet "Chi mi frena in tal momento" from Act II of Gaetano Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor the 2nd theme from the Prelude to Act III of Richard Wagner's Lohengrin the overture from Franz von Suppé's operetta Die schöne Galathee ( The Beautiful Galatea) and the melody to " It's Magic." This last piece is also used in the cartoon Transylvania 6-5000.

As Bugs looks up he notices a large piece of concrete balanced on a beam directly above Jones, and directs him to resume the high note until the concrete falls. Satisfied, Bugs stops conducting long enough for Jones to stagger to his feet and take a bow. Jones complies, singing until he writhes in pain and his face turns several different colors, eventually causing the stage shell to collapse in on him. After brief applause from the audience, Bugs scowls at Jones, then directs him to sing a prolonged high G note.

He administers a series of vocal tests, which Jones passes. As Jones begins his final set, Bugs commandeers the orchestra disguised as Leopold Stokowski. On the night of Jones's concert, Bugs disrupts his performance with a series of pranks: vibrating the concert stage, spraying alum in his throat to make him pucker, and posing as a bobby soxer to hand him a stick of dynamite disguised as an autograph pen. On two later occasions Bugs again distracts Jones and sends him into a rage-first when he sings " My Gal is a High-Born Lady" with a harp, which results in Jones trapping Bugs' neck by closing both sides of the harp like a vise, and then by performing "When Yuba Plays the Rhumba on the Tuba" on a sousaphone, after which Jones bumps Bugs' head repeatedly against a tree branch. Jones absent-mindedly starts singing along with Bugs, then angrily walks over to his rabbit hole and destroys the banjo. His singing distracts opera singer Giovanni Jones, who is trying to rehearse " Largo al Factotum" in a nearby Frank Lloyd Wright-style house. On a hillside, Bugs is singing " A Rainy Night in Rio" as he plays a banjo. Nicolai Shutorov provides the singing voice of Giovanni Jones. In addition to including the homophones "hair" and "hare", the title is also a pun on "longhairs", a characterization of classical music lovers.
