I can’t get it, but in case it helps anyone, I think it’s an anagram of “Mayo Tzar Sid” that means silly music (or something that might lead to very silly music). I could be mistaken of course, but to my mind the only reason for those words being there would be to make an unusual anagram. I could be mistaken of course. ---

After staring at a jumble of letters for some time, I’ve come up with MOZART DAISY - but I’m not entirely convinced, the only relevant reference I can find online is a song called “Mozart” by an artist named “Daisy Punkie” - so it’s rather obscure. I don’t have a Spotify account so I can’t opine on whether the song is “very silly”. ---

Not “Mozart Daisy” — though that sounds kind of silly. ---
