I don't know if this contribution belongs to Culture or Sports, so I put it here:
Beethoven Synphony No 5 as a sporting event.
I missed some words here and there but I'm sure you won't. Enjoy!

well spotted, PDQ bach is a real cool guy, and has been funny about 25 years back when I first heard of him. If you are interested there is a quite good articel on him in the wikipedia

I have mixed feelings about this one. 🙂 🙁

It is funny, but I like Beethoven too much to give it a thumbs up.

Yes, I know what you mean, but to me Bethooven is the background-music, and I merely concentrate on the two very funny guys commenting this strange event. And perhaps, because I'm Swedish, they are even funnier - to me they are so "American", and I mean it in a good way.
I'm glad you all took the time to listen to this piece of entertainment. 🙂

Do you enjoy Victor Borge? Another musical satirist with a deft touch.

Yes I do - very much! I love his sense of humour. He was a brilliant musician but he soon realised that they were so many of those that he had to find his own way to amuse people. I don't listen to his music so much on those occasions, I just love him to see him perform.

Okay, you can copy. Now, can you comprehend?

You suggested that I tell lolof what I do like.

I like the Schickele satire and I really like Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

What seems to be your problem?

Me too. A lot of his classic acts are still available on YouTube.

And be careful.. don't trip over that monkey wrench.

A Watcher

The mail doesn't come
and doesn't come.
The mail doesn't come.
It's three o'clock, I've been
downstairs to check, and up again,
and down and up — it
doesn't come.

Incognito in the little shops
is how I want to go.
And in and out
about the neighbourhood,
observing unobserved.

And yet I long, I long.
Long to be known, and know
