This reminds me of a comedy skit on the radio. The head of a choral group was being asked how he managed to get so much funding for his group. He had discovered a federal grant that paid you every time you did NOT sing Shenandoah. So his group had learned and invented several hundred versions including Samba and Fox Trot. It was hilarious to hear them sing them.
They were paid for not singing each and every version.
