The Offspring on "Time to Relax (Intro)" from the Smash album released in 1994.

Ahhhhh, it's time to relax,

And you know what that means,

A glass of wine, your favourite easy chair,

And of course this compact disc playing and your home stereo. So go on, indulge yourself,

That's right, kick off your shoes, put your feet up,

Lean back and just enjoy the melodies.

After all, music soothes even the savage beasts.

Please note that the question is not about the original phrase, 'the savage breast,' but it is about the altered phrase, 'the savage beast."Bugs Bunny once got a gorilla to stop chasing him by playing the violin...Bugs spots a violin, and noting that "music calms the savage beast", he starts playing the violin in Hurdy-Gurdy Hare.
