Let's spread some musical misinformation

[PillO]

The Chilliwack song My Girl was inspired by an extended gong solo

And it was slide, or rather trundle, as Charlie Parker always wore roller skates.

This is where Rick Wakeman got the idea for Henry VIII on ice, as he simply took it one step further. Wakeman did later consider other variations, such as Elizabeth I via parachute, and Edward II on a bus. He is working on George I, which given his and his fans age, will be from a series of comfy armchairs.

I should have noted, wakeman was an adviser to the 2012 featuring Elizabeth II on a parachute, but the prog rock opus, starting with Fanfare for the Common Man and ending with Brian May playing We Are the Champions via a rendition of the whole of Selling England By The Pound that was to follow was cut on the orders of Boris Johnson as he hates prog as he's a big drum and bass devotee.

Never gig with an instrument built from a tree you took down yourself, as it will seek revenge.

Which, as we all know, was the underlying principle of “Schroedinger’s Feynmann.”

As Feynmann once said when trying to solve a difficult partial differential equation during his beatnik/Gene Krupa phase "I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas"

My dance company is going to perform a new piece called 'Dancing about Physics' which will use Feynmann diagrams as the basis for the pieces.

(this is one of those jokes I make that may turn out to have been done)

Elevator Muzak is really the most “metal” form of music we all know.

 

[-Asdfgh-]

When someone calls one of your pieces leaden, it means it's a great metal track and that you should play it more often, perhaps a little slower.

It makes me want to jam forks into my ears. That's what you mean, isn't it?

This is definitely NOT misinformation!

Tuning forks were originally for eating the traditional Chinese dish of tu-ning (roughly tuna noodle casserole, and the only dish for which a fork was used) and only later was the ability to use them for getting an instrument to pitch discovered.

...and really bear down on the 1 and 3. Zero reverb, all thud.

Real men clap on 1 and 3.

Real men clap on 1 and 3.

Jazzers clap on 1 and 2 3/4.

Half of Steve Reich fans clap on 1 and 3, half on 1 and 2 3/4 and the third half, that were previously the first half, on 1 1/4 and 2 1/2. Hold on, the second half is now back on 1 and 3.

Rush fans only clap when the song is over. But if they clapped, it would be on 2, 4, 6, and 7. Unless the song was recorded after 1986.

Bass players are always the “star” of the show. Just ask them.

This is misinformation, sir! It was Ludwig van Beethoven, who discovered how a two-pronged medieval tuna fork resonated when tapped against the top of the dining table. As he was deaf, he sensed the 440 Hz vibration with his forehead. This later became the standard A.

Rather than stating the it became the standard A, I think it is more correct to say that it became A standard (amoungst many others)

The other standard, 432 Hz, was chosen to circumvent van Beethoven's patent.

I had to laugh because the 440 thing is REALLY (well, lol amongst all the other misinfo) misinformation. “A”l was, in fact, 432 hz back then.

Hush, don't tell them believers...
