Missouri has discovered the Oendan, now they have to learn something other than Seven Nation Army #Royals #FountainsUp

Happy May the Fourth, my most popular Star Wars post this year was the Weather Channel on Tatooine:

For those who want an epic orchestra Rickroll as an early April Fools Day present

Take Me Out to the Ballgame, but it’s the Imperial March

#ChappellRoan as a sea shanty? Chappell Roan as a #seashanty.

I pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne in the way I know best: A quirky best friend soundtrack featuring the clarinet (Quirky train)

I’ve always thought “Watermelon Sugar” by Henry Styles sounded like a Renaissance Madrigal

I’m definitely never getting past customs in Italy for this

Somebody to Love and We ARR the Champions

Also, it’s concerning when I agree with myself

We Didn’t Come as the Fire?

It was “Sail” by AWOLNATION

Those lyrics are actually pretty appropriate to the situations 😬

It’s me, hi, I’m the froggy, it’s me

Though, it’s got a mini-fugue, and we all know how popular those are

Or Bob of the Opera?

I’ve been meaning to clean up the web site

Your answer #mashup #billyjoel #mychemicalromance

If I arranged Vivaldi’s Summer (from the four seasons), So you could sing Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” with it, That’d appeal to maybe 28 people, right? And disappoint all the Bananarama fans) feat. Bethany Barber (Eclectic Siren)

Since Obon is coming up, here’s Ghostbusters as Japanese festival music 大変すみませんでした 🙇

It’s summer, so Phineas and Ferb, and Sousa-ish arrangements. I know what I’m posting today #phineasandferb #sousa

I’ve always wanted to try Pinky and the Brain as salsa. Of course, when I do it, its American Supermarket Brand Mild Salsa

Since it’s May the 4th, here’s the Star Wars theme like you’ve always wanted: A tarantella:

MCR is an old time music band

Phantom of the Hot Jazz? #djangoreinhardt #strphanegrappeli #phantomoftheopera

I don’t know if this was ever done, but someone tagged me, so I cranked this out last night Suggested by @violanorth.bsky.social

Dark and edgy DuckTales theme

Pokemon, the show about imprisoning creatures to only let them out to fight each other This is what Gotta Catch ‘Em All should sound like: #pokemon #hanszimmer

About the Orix Buffaloes team song (but mostly how the the Orix Buffaloes came into existence) #Bs2025 #MusicTheory #NPBeng

So I did Thomas and Friends theme song like Hans Zimmer How about some light and quirky Hans Zimmer? #interstellar #hanszimmer #orchestra #soundtrack #clarinet #bassclarinet #kevinmacleod

How to make Thomas and Friends into a dark and edgy theme song: 1. Horns and Trombone play Melody in minor key 2. Reharmonize with non-diatonic minor chord harmonies 3. Ostinatos in cellos and viola 4. Stinging chords in violins 5. Trumpet tone clusters at the end of phrases 6. Epic organic drums

If I arranged a Runaways song in Japanese with traditional Japanese instruments… Would it be Cherry Blossomb? 🌸 #runaways #TraditionalJapaneseMusic #邦楽 #関西弁

Have you ever thought: I wish Take Me Out the Ball Game was a horror soundtrack? Well, just make it 12-tone serialism with imitative counterpoint: #MusicTheory #schoenberg #TakeMeOuttotheBallGame #MusicHumor #bartok

In honor of pollen season, here’s a mashup of Yellow and Black Parade 🐝 #Mashup #mcr #coldplay #welcometotheblackparade #mashups #mashupsongs #mashupsong

Ace O’Spades Featuring an actual (anonymous) Irish singer! #AceOfSpades #Motorhead #IrishTrad #Trad #MusicHumor

Does changing “of” to O’ in a band name make it an Irish band? Like System O’ a Down? #chopsuey #systemofadown #trad #irishtrad #irishtraditional

Changing “of” to O’ in a song doesn’t make it Irish But here’s Ring O’ Fire anyway #ringoffire #irishtrad

I ain’t ‘fraid O’ no ghost 👻🚫☘️ #ghostbusters #irishtrad

What I’m giving up for Lent #MusicJoke #MusicHumor #Lent #commodores #brickhouse #funk

Here’s a baby jimlapbap (age 28) video, Slavic “Drops of Jupiter” #dropsofjupiter #MusicTheory #majortominor

Let’s see, what the next song in a minor key to arrange in major as New Orleans Jazz…. How about “Losing My Religion”? #LosingMyReligion #REM #TradJazz #NewOrleansJazz #PreservationHall #MainStreetUSA

“Bring Me To Life” like New Orleans Jazz (or Main Street USA) is like a peppy morning wake up call? #

Yordano Got Back 10th anniversary (RIP) Suggested by @cupcakesarenice.bsky.social #royals #FountainsUp #SirMixALot #BabyGotBack

Since “All of Me” by John Legend uses “the four chords” it’ll pretty much mash up with anything in F minor, right? Like “Another One Bites the Dust” 😈 #mashup #anotheronebitesthedust #allofme

Why are all my “Mardi Gras” arrangements in major? Because if I kept it in minor, it would sound like the 80s Matlock theme Yes, even John Williams soundtracks #TradJazz #NewOrleansJazz #starwars #imperialmarch #hedwigstheme

You know what version of the “Sounds of Silence” would be completely unnecessary? New Orleans Jazz for Mardi Gras #mardigras #simonandgarfunkel

For Mardi Gras I always like to take songs in minor and change them to major, swing it, and make it like New Orleans Trad Jazz Of course, it ends up sounding like Disneyland Main Street USA or a Mario Game Anyway, here’s Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) #TradJazz #NewOrleansJazz #eurythmics

The melody of “Hot To Go!” uses the F♯ major pentatonic scale, which means it can pretty much go with anything in F♯ major So, how about “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston?

“Teenagers” by MCR is Ragtime (A reboot of my first short post that got over a million views) #Mychemicalromance #mcr #teenagers #theblackparade

And now, the worst William Grant Still joke you’ve ever heard:

Can I even upload Slavic folk Drops of Jupiter?! #dropsofjupiter #majortominor #MusicTheory
