Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 20, 2010
Transcript:
Alice: We're getting the piano today! Dill: I saw a cartoon where a cat was playing a piano. There was a mouse running around in it - NEEEOWZOOM! And he'd stick his head out and the cat would smack it. BAM! BAM! Then it was like NEEZOOOMMNPOW! And the cat got a mallet - WHAP! And then some DYNAMITE - GKKAPHOOOHMM! Alice: I had no idea that you were such a big music fan! Dill: Only the classics.

Few kids know the difference between pianos and drums.

If you ever see a suspicious piano, you will no doubt feel compelled to play “Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms” by pecking out the notes with one finger (or beak, if applicable). But under no circumstances should you strike the right key at the end of the fourth measure, because that will detonate the explosives packed within.
Rather, conspicuously produce the wrong note again and again until your frustrated nemesis emerges from hiding, pushes you aside, and plays the piece properly, resulting in his own obliteration.

Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody #2 is good too, if you can play that flashy stuff.

mututoyou said, about 4 hours ago sounds like the “Tom & Jerry” cartoons - didn’t know kids watched them these days! Too violent, and all that stuff.
T&J are on Cartoon Network.

ah yes, I saw a concert of Hungarian Rhapsody #2 performed on the piano when i was younger.
Funny how much Franz Liszt looks like Bugs Bunny.
p.s. When Dill grows up, i would like to marry him. –

I got most of my music from the cartoons. Bugs Bunny, Mighty Mouse etc.

One of our cats was very curious about where all that noise came from on the piano. He methodically hit the keys, looked around, jumped on top of the upright piano…. finally we decided we’d show him how it worked by opening up the lid so he could watch the hammers hit the strings… but he never had that “BAM” “BAM” thing Dill was speaking of….

These two crack me up! Wouldn’t you love to be their teacher?!!

Hey gillbillvolume1…. According to dictionary.com: “concert” is a noun that can mean “a public performance, usually by an individual singer, instrumentalist, or the like; recital” –
