How I wish I'd never heard..........

As happens, I was not allowed to send a link, but:

Ventilhorn. Afraid I don't remember your 'song' from Much Binding

Don Petter. I remember the first two lines as:

My aunt's name is Emma Wheeler Waterbutt and she lives down in Burton on Trent,
When she goes out shopping on her bicycle she always gets her handlebars bent.

Then the rhythm, and Murdoch, went haywire.

Saly, I suspect you are right -these things fade over time, but the humour doesn't.

Could have been from "Round the Horne" (the civvy version with the same cast.

I also remember K H closing the programme as follows:

"Next week, we shall be in Shepton Mallet at an Apple Eating Contest for "The Week's Good Cores"

"Beyond Our Ken", surely. Round the Horne was rather later.

A few lines are still indelibly remembered:

When Aunt Jane goes shopping on a bicycle
She always gets her handlebars bent!

Plastic pyjamas - are never really what they ought to be!

"Force meat balls are very indigestible
Especially when they're covered in cheese
You can eat them sitting in a vestibule
Or you can eat them fried with peas"

Sam Costa -- " Good morning Sir, was there something ?

Dora Bryan ( Still with us ) " Switchbor-or or-ord!"

I'll ask local cousin who still listens to those programmes when they are on BBC Radio 4 Extra. salymap

Watch out Caliban...

Mozart Symphony No.35, 2nd Movement/2nd group... "knees up Mother Brown".

Brahms Piano Concerto No.1, 1st movement, after piano entry with 3rd group... somewhere in there, there's a phrase in the piano part - "Home, home on the range" - the bit about "where never is heard a discouraging word.." and in the strings later.

Interesting the ones that don't register; easy to hear "abide with me" in Mahler 9 once told, but I never think of it when I actually hear either.

I have always associated Hotel California by the Eagles with feelings of cataclysmic doom.

(This one has happier memories - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhLq4rjCndo)

Or indeed anything at all by the eagles.

And why, in my mind, if I hear something by the eagles do i have a vision of DLT?

"Hark the herald angels sing" at the start of the 3rd movement of JS Bach's Orchestral Suite No 4 in D.

(Didn't Haydn compose "Hark the herald angels sing"? Bet he half-nicked the idea from the above!)

[Rover_KE]

'So deep is the night' and 'I'm always chasing rainbows' have always ruined those Chopin pieces for me.

Why does the American National Anthem have the
"we wish you a merry Christmas
we wish you a merry Christmas"

bit in it ?
and do Americans sing this ?

lovers of Sibelius might like to skip the clip as it will destroy a truly great piece of music

Does that date from before, or after, Glass's Floe?

Almost all the 'major' works of Lord Lloyds Bank, which include often great chunks from some other composer or other

Almost all the 'major' works of Lord Lloyds Bank, which include often great chunks from some other composer or other

Indeed - including TSB, HBOS et al. A friend and composer colleague of mine (no names, no pack drill, no legal action) refers to him as Lord Lloyd Loom.
