Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite

During a 1967 appearance by The Who on a TV show hosted by these two entertainment personalities, Moon had his drum kit loaded with explosives, and set them off during a performance of "My Generation" resulting in Pete Townsend's hair getting singed and a piece of a cymbal lodging itself in Moon's arm.

In this series, Ignignokt and Err are shown to be annoying antagonists, often trying to encourage the childlike Meatwad into bad behavior. Identify this series, an Adult Swim staple which ended an 11 season run in 2015.
This 1953 comedy directed by Otto Premiger was banned in three states because it so callously dealt with subjects like seduction and virginity. When the Kansas Supreme Court refused to lift the ban, United Artists took the case to the US Supreme Court, reversing the ban, and setting in action a permanent weakening of the Hays Code and the Breen Office which oversaw motion picture censorship. Identify this film starring William Holden, Maggie McNamara, and David Niven.

With the still moonlight, sad and beautiful,
That sets the birds dreaming in the trees
And the fountains sobbing in ecstasy,
The tall slender fountains among marble statues.
This poem became the inspiration for a more famous piece of music of the same name, the third movement in a piano suite entitled Suite bergamasque. Identify this piece written for piano by Claude DeBussy.
