A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of
a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts
searching for the source.

He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a
grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven,
1770-1827. Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth
Symphony and it is being played backward! Puzzled, he leaves
the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him.


By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has
changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the
previous piece, it is being played backward.


Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they
return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again
backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being
played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the
9th, then the 7th, then the 5th.


By the next day the word has spread and a throng has
gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the
Second Symphony being played backward.


Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group.
Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for
the music.


"Oh, it's nothing to worry about" says the caretaker. "He's
just decomposing!"

Speaking of musical dead guys:

Late one night the Coroner's assistant is cleaning up in the lab when he notices a new body had been brought in. Upon examining the body he discovers a cork in the corpse's rear end. Curious, he removes the cork and suddenly hears "Your cheatin' heart..." coming from the orifice.

Startled, he puts the cork back in and the music stops. Thinking he couldn't have heard what he heard, he pulls out the cork again and again he hears "Your cheatin' heart..." Again, he replaces the cork and again the music stops.

Not sure what to do, he decides to wake the Coroner. He calls his boss and says "You've got to come down here immediately! You've got to see this! I don't know what to do with this body!!" The Coroner says "Fine, I'll be right there."

As soon as he arrives, the assistant takes him straight to the body and says "get this" and pulls the cork out of the corpse's rear end. Once again they hear: "Your cheatin' heart..." The Coroner angrily looks over at his assistant and says "You mean to tell me that you got me out of bed in the middle of the night just to listen to some ***hole sing country music?"
