Love me some Bill Bailey

[–] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

One of my favourite tunes of his came about from his changing around minor and major keys.

Bailey, Minchin, Burnham, savants of the age.

There's a whole genre of that on Youtube, mainly by Oleg Berg. E.g. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, ‘Mad World’, ‘Be Worry, Don't Happy’, ‘Final Countdown’.

Oh no, a new rabbit hole to fall into to!

Gotta say, ever since watching this some years ago I can't listen to ‘Moonlight Sonata’ without the cockney intro popping up in my head.
