Anyone else remember a Hale & Pace sketch involving a choir, the William Tell Overture, and the words: Titty bum titty bum titty bum bum bum ...? No, thought not  Hale and who?... Best, Alistair A comedy duo who had a brief burst of popularity in the 80s but really weren't as funny as people seemed to think they were. Not to be confused with any other Paces you might find hanging around  |

I do really think we need to have Ollie's "Don Juan" on this thread. Don't be shy, Ollie.
It's for the Big Horn Tune -
Don Juaaaaaaaaaaaaaan gets laid more than I do
But that's OK
Because he's gay
He gives it all night aaaaand
Then he takes it - all day!...
(Optionally, if the horns continue up to the tonic as in Kempe's and Strauss's recordings - )
...Hooray! |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

For some reason Tchaikovsky seems to have attracted a lot of lyrics. For example, the opening horn solo from the slow movement of his fifth symphony:
Why can't I play this?
Why can't I play this?
Because last night I was on the p***.
That's why I can't play this ...
There are no clean Tchaikovsky lyrics that I am aware of.

That is true. There are at least a couple of others for Tchaik 5 - the waltz starts "Once she was a virgin..." NB |

The march from the first movement of Shostakovich 7 is, of course, "I want a Mars Bar". Personally in my head it sounds like this:
"I want a Mars Bar
I want a Mars Bar
I want a Mars Bar
I really want a Mars Bar
I really want a Mars Bar
I just want a Mars Bar
I want a lovely sticky chocolatey Mars Bar
A Mars Bar
A Mars Bar..."
(repeated with crescendo ad nauseam)

Not an orchestral piece, but you can sing the beginning of Brahms's Clarinet Sonata Op. 120 No. 2 to 'Are you happy with your mouthpiece?'

Oh yes, one more:
My mother used to be a piano teacher and once upon a time was trying to teach the melody of the Troika from Lieutenant Kije to a small child with no sense of rhythm.
She achieved it using the following lyrics:
"Oh, what a lot of monkeys I can see
All sitting in that hollow tree;
There are brown and black ones hanging by their tails
Throwing down coconuts at me"
It worked...

Another Tchaikovsky one, this time the Pathetique, Scherzo movement:
"I'm going away to Paris, but my wifes going to stay at home"
and
Mozart - Eine Klein nachtmusik:
"Can I stick my bow into your ear?"

I should add to the Shostakovich 7 one that a popular alternative version begins "I want a wee-wee". Repeated with increasing volume and urgency over the course of about 20 minutes.
"I'm just going for a Leningrad" has become an invaluable part of the vocabulary in Promming circles.
