  21. want more? VistRhapsody.com to hear the version of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 used for this Music Analysis. Click here to see a video about the use of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in popular cartoons. (This is great!) Like the Muppets? See Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 with Rowlf and Victor Borge. Mickey Mouse. This has a bunch of other stuff mixed in with the Rhapsody, but I love Mickey’s Liszt hairdo. Rhapsody in Rivets. Probably my favorite cartoon version of the Rhapsody; I love the panting dogs in the Friska.
