Sorry about that, here's the cleanser: a little sketch from Sesame Street I found in Street Gang.






You gotta love Biff failing so spectacularly at playing the easiest scale you can possibly play on the piano, although he does end up getting closer to it each time:

• We start with an Ichikotsucho scale
  
• Then a modified Harmonic major
  
• Then mixolydian...
  

And then, the characteristic twist common to most classic Muppet routines: somehow a hand-rod Muppet that has no functioning fingers can play a note-perfect Chopin prelude.

Thank you for the warning, Athena. Done and done. It's horrible on every level, but if it could potentially break the rules, I think taking it down is the right call. Thankfully, I checked the forum before the two-hour edit window closed.

Back to business....

And now, the theme music for a great film:





And the Baroque music that inspired it:

Three artists’ takes on the same theme: the second-biggest warlord in history (possibly the first if you consider that the WW2 wasn’t entirely Hitler’s doing and there was still a Pacific front), Genghis/Chinggis Khan.

The Hu (Mongolian):





Miike Snow (Swedish):





Dschingis Khan (West German):




Full disclosure, I decided to do this because, by quirks of my music queue, I played two albums with songs about Chinggis Khan in the span of 24 hours and Dad noticed it.

And since it turns out this is the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, here’s David Gilmour singing a song about it, on the site where the domino effect that resulted in the fall of the Iron Curtain really started going (the Gdańsk shipyard):

Ayup...This song's still the hotness.
