The Boom Danube

I wish this had been introduced by John the Baptist's impersonation of Graham Hill's crash at Watkins Glen.

[Starkiller1701]

Awesome! Better than 2001! in a way.

[Jackarunda]

it kinda disgusts me how the audience gets so quickly bored with the explosions. By the 5th one, nobody's laughing. I think it's hilarious all the way through

[MrMrmike5]

For those who, like me, didn't know the background:

1. The Blue Danube is the common English title of An der schönen blauen Donau op. 314 (On the Beautiful Blue Danube), a waltz by Johann Strauss II, composed in 1866.

2. Blue Danube was the first operational British nuclear weapon. The warhead was proof-tested in Maralinga, Australia, by a team of Australian, British and Canadian scientists in late 1956.

here am I thinking, poor fellows, blowing up, having to play one of the most abused, most overplayed orchestra piece ever, and on top of that, people are laughing at them.

[kissmewhereyoucan76]

Carl Orff on Dynamite would be class!

[SVAndrei]

This never gets old. To bad you don't see comedy like that today anymore.

[DragonGamer9]

if they play a wrong note they blow up. god they must suck at that song then.

[evilegg288]
