Bach mal anders

Schaut euch das mal an:

King´s Singers - Deconstructing Bach

Ich krieg mich nicht mehr ein. Das ist so witztig!!! Das ist eine der besten Bachinterpretationen, die ich je gehört habe. Die lustigste und supertollste Bachmedley ist es auf jeden Fall! Ich dachte die Swingle Singers haben Bach schon toll vocalisiert, aber das ist ja echt der Hammer. Herrlich. Wundertoll.
Achja, zur Entwarnung, Bach hatte nur zwanzig Kinder und nicht 33...
Ach, und auch wenn das jetzt diskriminierend ist: Wenn ihr Bach nicht kennt, könnt ihr, glaube ich, mit dem Video nichts anfangen....

Lyrics:

J. S. Bach had a little problem.
J. S. Bach was in a fix.
J. S. Bach couldn't find an answer.
What to do?

I've written most of a rather fabulous work!
Toccata, it's in D minor, but now I'm feeling a bit of a jerk.
I can't think of what should come after it.

Now, said his wife, who was resting up after her 33rd child.
Johann, my dear, you should just go to bed.
Something always comes up.

Don't be a twit!
It's a real crisis and I'm working to a deadline.
What can I fit?
What to fit after the great toccata
Maybe it needs to be something faster
I haven't got a clue
and in a week the piece is due
I'm in a panic.
I'm stuck like glue.

Don't get your knickers in a twist, Johann,
'Those are only notes,' you've always said.
There's only twelve so use your head
How many arrangements of twelve notes can there possibly be?

That's a problem I don't want to deal with
How many permutations on C and D and E and F and G, A, B is a thing that I never heard of.
You can leave that to Arnold Schönberg
He is the person to do that twelve-tone thing

No! No!
It isn't the answer, I haven't the foggiest.
What am I gonna do?
I'm all in a panic
Aaah, no.

What can I do?
I've finished my toccata but I have no fugue

(Phone ringing)

Ah... and now I've got the fugue!
