Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Jay2U]

During the Middle Ages, the major sixth was considered the most erotic interval of them all. This idea sprung from the days of Ancient Rome, during which massive orgies would take place whenever a major sixth was played.

This is the reason why Rock n' Roll is so heavily associated with sex, as playing the classic "boogie woogie"-riff on guitar summons the sexy major sixth.

That's how the guitar players get the gals.

 

[jamro217]

Well that really goes without saying, except that you said it--so it goes with saying...

Actually I sang it, so it still goes without saying.

The whole thing started when a drunken sot called out to a barmaid: "Hey, wench, let's have some major sex." Due to slurred speech and the poor acoustics in "Ye Olde Pale Horsie Publick 'Ouse", the lute player thought the request was for a major sixth. The chord was played and history was made. (Not sure as to whether the barmaid was or not.) They all lived happily ever after. The End.

I tried that once. Didn't end well...

I once tried it the sneaky way by playing three minor sixth in a row. Never again, as all hell broke loose.

I hope You are OK, considering the fact that the ancient Maya shamans used to play the minor sixth with flutes in order to shrink the... shaft of their enemies.
Three times in a row would make it grow "backwards".

Okay--so you said it in song...

I'm ok, as I used ear protection. In the audience, however, I saw several men look down, like they were missing something. This happened three years ago. I'm still hiding in the Tibetan mountains...

Kurt Cobain and Elvis aren't actually dead. They live on the moon in a secret base named "bunker - 823"

Ibanez finally decided to properly name each of their basses, instead of identifying them with a sequence of letters and numbers. The ATK series will from January 2017 be named サンダー (Sandá) or Thunder in English. The SR series will be named 金属 (Kinzoku), Metal in English. So it'll be easy to remember the names of the basses... if you speak Japanese that is.

Not much of a secret if you go around telling people about it.

Interestingly, the Kinzoku series are not the best for metal, instead Sanda are best for metal.

Did you feel silly with condoms on your ears?

They are pink with funny faces, so I'm used to it.

A myth has finally been busted. Scooped mids and boomy bass along with clacking frets against the strings really are good for FOH band mix, See the sound engineers were wrong all along.

There are no love songs--all songs are about the mailman when you boil it down to the basics.

That was Schoenberg's theory, anyway.

That was Schoenberg's theory, anyway.

Little known fact: Schoenberg wrote an opera together with Schroedinger called "Where's my cat?". The opera was never perfomed in front of an audience however, as Schroedinger is said to have hidden the sheet music in a box that "May - or may not - be filled with poisonous gas and a paper eating rat, that may or may not be immune to the gas!" (As Schroedinger put it himself). Schoenberg didn't mind the gas, as he had a quite notable collection of gas masks. He did, however fear rats and the very thought of them so much that he decided to write country/rock songs instead.

And that is how "Sweet Home Alabama" was written.

 

[Imaginary Pony]

Obviously, " Sweet Home Alabama" was originally titled "Sweet Home Carinthia".

As of the 1st of January 2017 octaves will be replaced by dodecades. The notes shall be A through L and shall not be called semitones, but tonal steps instead. Yamaha already developed a keyboard with white keys only.
