Friday Funnies

Just for fun - and certainly nothing to do with the current theme of Metallica, Apocalyptica, and, in a broader sense, string ensembles playing unexpected things - here's a short little bit involving Beethoven and the Muppets... rather, one Muppet...

just goes to show-- a good tune can't be ruined if one's heart is strong for it.

By the way, the good tune isn't from the Eroica Symphony... it's the Ode to Joy from Symphony No. 9.

(I noticed it mention of Beaker performing Eroica in a post of yours - unless you were referring to a different piece? =)

yep -- (but you do know I have trouble remembering names, doncha?)

I now recall "Eroica" as the "Knock on the Door" theme from Donald Duck's story about his ancestor Donald van... something or other... composer (which has got to be a true story as it was part of a Disney producktion 50+ years ago.) That means "Ode to Joy" is what I meant as Beaker's tune.
