Music TGIF - Bad Music Joke(s) of the Week - Trick or Treat!


Not very Halloween, but a little dark and creepy, several Bad Music Jokes somewhat in the spirit...

What do you get when 20 violinists start playing at the same time but play different songs? A senseless act of violins.

Q: Why did they bury the conductor 20 feet under?
A: Because deep down, he was a really nice guy.

What do you call a guy with no arms or legs who can play 5 musical instruments? Stump the Band.

Why did the Philharmonic disband? Excessive sax and violins.

What do you get if Bach dies and is reincarnated as twins?
A pair of Re-bachs.

Opera: When a guy gets stabbed in the back and instead of bleeding, he sings.

AN-DANTE: A tempo that's infernally slow

And, included, of course, a definitely out-of-the-ordinary music graphic or two...

TootsDay - Trumpet & More

American Band Nerds bag
American Band Nerds by MarchingBand
Design Personalized Bags at zazzle

Look, see, there is something to toot - the farmer is holding a trumpet. Looks like a rather nice trumpet, too. (If that picture looks rather familiar it is a parody of the painting "American Gothic" by Grant Wood, in the Art Institute in Chicago.) The farmer's wife is holding drum sticks, wonder if she's any good? (Picturing in my mind this lady surrounded by a drum kit... ) Hey, why not? You go, "Girl"!

(Tweets?) Toots Day - Bird Song

Okay, this is quite a stretch, but that's okay. It's TweetsDay TootsDay?

You might consider this Part 2 to "Music Monday." I found the website for this PBS show "The Music Instinct" about music and science I mentioned on "Music Monday." I thought there might be some good online content, and I was right. Lots of good online content - check it out @ www.pbs.org/wnet/musicinstinct

And, what about Toots and Tweets? This TV program and its website linked in the above paragraph discuss bird song. Do birds toot? Um, again, kinda of a stretch, but you could argue so. A voice, whether bird, or humans, for that matter, have similar construction to a wind instrument. Think about it - a very flexible and fleshy wind instrument, but...sure... I'm an alto wind instrument - or actually tenor (I have a low vocal range for a woman.). How about you? And, think about this the next you hear a bird song.

It's WindsDay! - Blowing in the Wind [Instrument]

It's WindsDay - this graphic shows a bunch of old-timey musicians trying (succeeding? who knows?) to play a giant, strange, tuba-like big brass wind instrument. Looks as if they have their work cut out for them here. I wonder what that big brass thing would sound like? {{((BBWWWAAAAHH!!!))}} No, more bass... More sub-woofer like. More earthquake, sonic boom, shuttle-landing, explosion, thunder like...? Hmmm... Major rumbling.

Anyway, lots of this graphic on Zazzle at Music Stuff & More @ Zazzle and @ CafePress (with an additional variation of this graphic at Music Stuff & More @ CafePress )

Movie "Happy Feet" Opens

"Happy Feet" Trailers & Clips

Do you like singing? Dancing? Really Good Animation? Penguins? Elijah Wood? (you won't recognize him, however), Robin Williams? (recognizable even in peguin guise; BTW, he's as good here as he was in "Aladdin" it appears, sings pretty good, too), the great tap-dancer Savion Glover?

I haven't seen this movie yet, but plan to. The clips are great (see above link), and hearing Stevie Wonder sing through THX in a movie theater would be a happy thing in itself.
