I have no context for this but it’s still hilarious somehow.

I must admit I didn’t find it particularly enjoyable… But thank you very much for the link!!!

Even as someone who likes the piece, I’d say “cacophonous” is an accurate descriptor in places. Although I think that was Pyotr’s intention - it’s a great example of programme music, which definitely isn’t for everyone.

1813 overture is the classical piece that usually goes with fireworks (and at the beginning of V for Vendetta if you saw that).

And Mickey Mouse Clubhouse always starts with 3 or 4 tools that will be used to solve a problem in an episode, but 1 tool is kept a secret till they need it.

1812 Overture is a classical concert piece that has cannons wrote into the sheet music

That’s fucking insane.

Well it WAS written in 1880, which was during The Great Binge when everyone was on every drug at all times 😁

Man why can’t I have been born in a wealthy family of that era, get fucked and go listen to the opera or frolic in perfectly manicured gardens, sounds great.

I actually think that part of the reason for all the drugs was because they got so very bored with the frolicking and needed something to make it more interesting 😉

It’s so much fun to play this piece to an unsuspecting audience.

I’d be getting pretty suspicious once I saw the cannons though.

Beat me to it 😂

It was written to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon, which was kind of a big deal.

This made me lol. My kids are too old for these shows, but this is one of those shows I hated watching. But the kids love it!

My oldest (now 10) loved that shit. The songs, man. They bored through my brain.
