joyous occasion

This is our project for the Documenting practice workshop. We’re playing a famous tune. Can you name it?

we polled our original live audience yesterday. these are their reactions:

maria:

  • yes i enjoyed it. the tune was unrecognisable.
  • i would request christmas songs as they are the most commercial and awful songs.
  • my favourite instruments were the dog and the telephone

chris:

  • no. i have no idea. do you want me to make one up? it was a while ago. it would be nice to have a refresher…..no
  • i would request I Am The One And Only performed in front of the strEAT cafe on malone road, belfat
  • my favourite instrument was the telephone

jane:

  • yes i enjoyed it.
  • i also need a refresher.
  • i would request Rock Lobster by the B52’s in Subway
  • my favourite instruments were the car, the dog and the hand towel dispenser

harry: Hi, Mom!

  • title: A Toilet, A Car Parking, and a Lab (must be a big hit in Greece, I don’t know that one - ASN)
  • the dog was a bit out of tune.

Jen:

  • either Blue Danube or Ode to Joy

  • It was hilarious. I focused on the visuals, but my favorite instruments were Dan’s barking, the car doors, and Anna playing the bathroom towels.

RESULTS:

  • Tainted Love
  • it can’t be tainted love
  • this is too weird
  • Happy Birthday?
  • We Will Rock You.
  • Machine by Pink Floyd?
  • Money & aphex twin

    It’s the entire soundtrack of final fantasy VII… I think that if someone wrote their dissertation about such a thing that they should feel very stupid right now for not recognizing it!

    …oh wait… I’m wrong
