I have the right mind to compose a likeness of this to the tune of something that no one would ever suspect would be turned into something such as this.
Marc-Andre Hamelin wrote this player piano piece back in 1998, when he simply heard the tune of the popular nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel" from an ice-cream truck. He was so obsessed with the tune, and so began to compose his own arrangement of the nursery rhyme, until he finally came up with this piece. This is actually his second composition for player piano, of course, after his first -- and most famous (player piano) piece, "Circus Galop".
If only there were someone who could replace the c**p pop music from TV with showpieces like this. If only there were one who could hunt out all rappers and DJs with their monotonous skullcrusher beats and broadcast some decent Medtner, Alkan or Ornstein.
And those people who did not laugh at 1:23 (along with those who make fun of Brahms's beard) should not get Christmas present this year.
haha, a very elaborate musical joke! the places with multiple simultaneous runs are hilarious. i might even prefer this to the circus galop, it's almost reasonable from time to time ;)

If that green was white Aquafresh tooth paste would be on the top, if that purple wasn't there as well it would just be some Aquafresh toothpaste!

Reminds me of when you get a really annoying repetitive melody in your head and nothing you try (no matter how drastic) will get it out. Very clever.
