Actually, while I did spend some time gathering several links to Flight of the Bumble Bee, adding only one for the William Tell Overture (for lack of time needed to search for more), I have come to think that the William Tell Overture would fit better than the Flight of the Bumble Bee...DinkyInky wrote:*sneaky edit* Since you seem to like this tune, here's one by Jennifer Batten.lake_wrangler wrote:I'm surprised no one has suggested the Flight of the Bumble Bee...
Here is it, played by Guinness world record holder title of fastest violinist, Dave Garett:
Okay, but "Thank you senor Wdot via Phix's image" is kinda cumbersome. And yeah, if I had some cute Wapsi art babe I could use as a Gravatar, I'd rather look at that than me anyday.Wdot wrote:NOTDilbert wrote:(Blatantly copying): "Thank you, miss Wdot!"Wdot wrote: I am so ashamed!!!

Um, that'd be señor Wdot. Maybe I should rethink using Phix as my picture!? Nah, I like looking at Phix in all her incarnations. Any way glad you liked the list. Still can't believe I forgot the Road Runner theme...
Heh. My predilection for using female avatars has often led people to assume i are a gurl.Wdot wrote:Um, that'd be señor Wdot. Maybe I should rethink using Phix as my picture!?

I have heard that The William Tell Overture is supposed to bring to mind a fox chasing a hare, so it fits very well.lake_wrangler wrote: I have come to think that the William Tell Overture would fit better than the Flight of the Bumble Bee...
Many have said "excessively."jwhouk wrote:So how do you talk with no mouth?
Whenever I hear the William Tell, I think of "Pompous Circumstance" by Wendy Carlos, I believe. A fun, if twisted, romp!davids4250 wrote:I have heard that The William Tell Overture is supposed to bring to mind a fox chasing a hare, so it fits very well.lake_wrangler wrote: I have come to think that the William Tell Overture would fit better than the Flight of the Bumble Bee...
Oh lord! I really came to hate that tune. Now I've got it in my head! Not Pompous Circumstance, I've never heard that, but Pomp and Circumstance. I was in the school orchestra playing violin. We had to play it seemingly endlessly for graduation ceremonies. Not to mention all the practices. Still love the violin at least. AUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH! GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!!!bmonk wrote:Whenever I hear the William Tell, I think of "Pompous Circumstance" by Wendy Carlos, I believe.

When I hear P&C, I think of an old stop-motion animation of food marching out of a fridge.Bathorys Daughter wrote: Oh lord! I really came to hate that tune. Now I've got it in my head!

OK. Now overdub P&C with the William Tell, at roughly twice the beat speed. A stately, even stodgy march paired with the frenetic beat of galloping horses...kingklash wrote:When I hear P&C, I think of an old stop-motion animation of food marching out of a fridge.Bathorys Daughter wrote: Oh lord!
