Curious, I looked up the chords to that song. On the word “Beatled” the chord is the flat-third which is a favourite Beatle chord change, e.g. on the word “lonely” in the chorus of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Some people get confused on Beatles songs when the sheet music shows John plays an Em11 chord. That’s an extra strum while he is moving his fingers and plays all open notes.
Neither says Christmas the way Die Hard does.
KInda fits the OP but…often the question “Name a song containing a Super-Hero” will come up.
I’ve never heard anyone mention T-Rex’s “Mambo Sun” which says I’m Dr. Strange For You
I always assumed it was that the left-hand is used for wiping in cultures where the actual hand is used for wiping (as opposed to using the Sears catalog).
I found Quentin’s list desired actors for the various roles in Pulp Fiction.
Pam Grier as Jody is a completely different character, but not as much as Eddie Murphy playing Jules.
John Cusack as Lance would have been fantastic.
Uma is nowhere to be found.
Eh, I guess the above isn’t really 100% in line with this topic, but… close enough.
I’ve listened to The Clash’s Red Angel Dragnet for a few decades, and today it finally occurred to me that Travis is Travis Bickel from Taxi Driver.
Neither is Bruce, and they were both great.
It’s interesting how all the others were either the first or second choice.
Almost sixty years of watching Rocky and Bullwinkle and it just occurred to me the other day that during the closing credits, the music gets “stuck” on a phrase for six or seven repeats and then there’s a slap sound where someone smacked the conductor to get the music going again. The perfect place to put one final joke.
I’ve always assume it was supposed to be a record player getting stuck in a loop. This was something that happened and you had to give the needle a nudge (or slap the record player) to get the song past the repeat.
I’m not seeing how a conductor would get “stuck” like that.
That’s the joke.
Then I’m not seeing it. Where’s the joke in a band playing the same note over and over?
I can see the joke that a show would go cheap and use a record player for its music. And then would be inept enough to leave in the part where the record skipped.
Surreal humor, a band cannot get stuck, but it does, that’s the joke.
Nah, the joke is that the show is too cheap to hire a live band, which is revealed to the audience when the record player starts skipping.
It works at multiple levels!
I agree with Burpo. And the reason I agree is because of the slap.
By the point this was cartoon started, people were used to records (and possibly films) skipping. And they would expect this music to be recorded. So, when the it starts skipping, you know it’s a record… until you hear the slap. Even if you slapped a record player, you wouldn’t hear a slap, at best you would hear a needle skitter.
Also notice how the animation follows the “skipping”
As for how a conductor would get stuck…
We are talking about a cartoon where Bullwinkle pulls a lion, a rhino, a bear, and a tiger out of his hat at various times. They’re not really concerned about portraying reality.
It’s a cartoon that takes standard tropes and then twists them. Pretending that the music acts like a stuck record but has to be reset by slapping the conductor is consistent with that
