Sylvester Stalone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Swarzenegger are sitting in Planet Hollywood discussing their idea for their next picture in which they all play famous classical music composers. Willis says "I'll play Beethoven. Stalone says, "I'll play Mozart". Arnold says "I'll be Bach".

Maybe they don't want to look bach on his life?

I could make a Liszt of all the reasons that subby fails.

I completely agree . . . shouldn't exhume him for this crap. I will prove it for them, with no digging required.

Ahem.

Cystic fibrosis had not been invented yet, therefore Chopin could not have died from it.

jakeone 2008-07-25 04:40:01 PM  
Surely there's a better way to Handel this.

 
jakeone 2008-07-25 04:42:54 PM  
Chopin, born 1819, died 1849. He was only Verdi-something.

It makes me happy that there's two fail headlines in a row on the main page.

/and I may or may not have submitted both

Chopin. The very very best Vodak!

I am disappointed. A Chopin story and the subby went with a Hayden reference instead of an Eternal Sonata reference? Lame.

Sheesh, why is everyone Haydn on Subby?

Thank you, Aeonite, for fulfilling the reason I looked in this thread.

Isn't it pronounced "hey-den"?

//Yes, yes, I'm a party pooper.
//need a caturday pic with usage of "hai den" in it

Oh, Susannah. Camptown Races

This happens to be a nocturne.

A what?

You know, Frederic farkin Chopin.

 
ptr2void 2008-07-25 04:51:28 PM  
Etude, Poland?

 
phunnypharm 2008-07-25 04:52:18 PM  
It's a good thing Chopin's heart wasn't decomposing....

 
Uncle Bester 2008-07-25 04:53:01 PM  
don't understand: "Ah, Bach."

Wow, that takes me back, er Bach...
I can't remember, did Radar ever get to bang that chick?

 
EggbertShootsFire 2008-07-25 04:54:14 PM  
Submitter, feel free to come Bach and fix your spelling - you know how the grammar nazis here love Des Prez upon the mistakes of others. Maybe you were too just Bizet, or stepping into the music world is a new Fauré for you; either way I'm going to Handel your typo very childishly.

 
kokomo61 2008-07-25 04:55:59 PM  
What's brown and sits on a piano bench?

Beethoven's last movement.

This is so awesome it makes me want to go Beethoven in my bedroom.

I'd Wagner that this is just an elaborate cover up.

Damnit. Remove the "in" from that last post.

Subby's spelling isn't his forte.

 
Evil Canadian [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 04:59:25 PM  
As a descendant of the Chopin family, I am getting a kick out of this discussion.

Hey, give us bach our heart! We didn't know where it was haydn.

geekybroad: Isn't it pronounced "hey-den"?

No. German pronunciation, not English pronunciation.

I can see a great new marketing ploy for congac. Wonder how much that stuff would be a shot.

I had not idea Chopin's heart was baroque.

Better watch your Bach, Farker's are going to be Chopin into your spelling next...

maybe I was thinking too hard, but I thought it was a reference to Thomas Hayden Church's exchange w/ Val Kilmer in "Tombstone".

Billy Clanton: Stephen Foster. "Oh, Susannah", "Camptown Races". Stephen stinking Foster.
Doc Holliday: Ah, yes. Well, this happens to be a nocturne.
Billy Clanton: A which?
Doc Holliday: You know, Frederic farking Chopin.

I suppose I should have said Polish Congac.
That would be one expensive collectors bottle of cognac they have. Smooth too, I'll bet.

WhyteRaven74 [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 05:35:28 PM  
I can't Handel this.

 
BKITU [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 05:40:37 PM  
xen0blue: jesus, he's just a composer, he wasn't a hero or anything.

No, Jesus was a wandering sage/prophet, not a composer. Whether or not he was a hero depends greatly upon your religious persuasion. Get it right.

It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.
