VANITY: Music theory expert wanted
boris | 09/11/2004 | Boris

Posted on 09/11/2004 9:29:51 AM PDT by boris

If there is a freeper who is a musicologist or accomplished music theorist, I have a question. Please freepmail me. I do not wish to fill up the public board with my crackpot questions. I'm an engineer; neither read nor play; thus I need schooling.

Thanks--

Boris

There is. Look at the photo in "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" of Paul wearing the "OPD" patch. Those letters stand for "Oh Please, Dan!"

This is also my resume for an "explainer guy" job at CBS News.

The important thing is that you leave these questions to the experts. Remember, they are trained in musicology. Do not attempt to perform musicological feats on your own.

The bass player is the guy you need, but he's currently playing "Wipeout" to less than packed houses.

Well, what do you do for a living?

I'm a doctor of musicology

A doctor, eh? Can you fix a hi-fi?

Well, no, but...

Then GET OUT OF HERE!

Yeah, it's something like this:

We're gonna find the first forgery
And that's the first clue
We'll put it in our FReepthread
Cause we're Blue's Clues, Blue's Clues

We're gonna find inproper fontspace
And that's the second clue
We'll put it in our FReepthread
Cause we're Blue's Clues, Blue's Clues

We're gonna find improper wordage
And that's our third clue
We'll put it in our FReepthread
Cause we're Blue's Clues, Blue's Clues

You know what to do!

Phone up CBS and make 'em think
Think
Sweat (Bow-wow-wow-wowwowwowwow-wow-wow)

Because Dan Rather's blind
In his liberal mind
He can do - any thing

That he wants to do

I knew a guy when I was in the USAF that said he listened to music with his eyes closed because he could see the colors of the notes that way.
