We kicked your butt once. Wanna try again?
We kicked your butt more recently, but, er no, our navy is now HMS Troutbridge and an aircraft carrier without planes,which means it is essentially a mini golf course on the sea.

The real reason we have sharps and flats goes back to ancient Greece. The Muses dropped one of three stone tablets off Mount Olympus, and it contained spare notes. Some of the noted broke like glass, leaving a sharp, nasy mess. Some collapsed like souffles, leaving a flat, nasty mess. The rest is history! Or mythology. Or both!
However don't forget this also spawned its relative minor: A, Bb, Cb, Dbb, Db, Ebb, Eb, Fb, Gbb, Gb, Abb, Ab
DD, EE, FF and GG are my favorites.... Oh, wait it's about notes.
Music theory makes my head tired.DD, EE, FF and GG are my favorites.... Oh, wait it's about notes.

Ahhhh. The stripper notes.
In Switzerland slapping the bass is not allowed anymore. It's considered too violent.
Being a neutral country, in Switzerland it is also illegal to play sharps and flats. All music is played in C maj or A min.
They also banned kick drums, as kicking is a fearsome act of aggression.
...and drumsticks, as chickens deserve to be happy animals.
In Asian music, if a songs tonality switches from minor to major in the final measures, this is known as a happy ending.
The Swiss national instrument is a modified BBQ grill cover. This is partly because it is rarely nice or warm enough to have a BBQ so people decided to put them to good use. Well, some use anyway. You would have thought the Scots would have invented it first, but they already have an instrument everyone hates.
In fact, Glen Campbell wrote a song about Entwistle. It became a hit when he changed the lyrics from "I am a ploughman at the county" to "I am a lineman for the county".
I forgot to mention that Ian Anderson talked to The Who about the jolly japes they had there and Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses are the musical form of those stories. Anderson borrowed Daltrey's old codpiece for his stage act.
Rick Wakeman's obsession with the Tudors is entirely his own.
