Beethoven's Fifth.
Beethoven's Fifth.
He got so drunk, he got so drunk, he got so drunk.
He got so drunk, he got so drunk, he got so drunk...

Sung to the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. I learned this from an Alabama music teacher years ago. Are there any more words?

The thread title led me to expect the Bill Oddie song that graced an early episode of ISIRTA...

I'm just gonna pitch in a reference to Flanders & Swann's "Ill Wind," a lyric to (and about) Mozart's Horn Concerto. On YouTube.

The opening was played before BBC radio programmes &c during WWii, as the notes were supposed to represent dot-dot-dot-dash, ···-, the Morse Code for V, for Victory, cognate with Mr Churchill's two raised fingers into a V-for Victory sign.

Beethoven's Wig (Symphony No. 5)" Animated Music Video
Richard Perlmutter
( winner of the Best Short Animation Made for Children category at the Ottawa International Animation Festival)

Beethoven's wig, is very big.

Beethoven's wig is long and curly and its white.
Beethoven takes it with him when he sleeps at night.
Because it is big,
Beethoven' s wig
So very big
Beethoven' s wig is big.

It's REALLY Big.

Beethoven' s wig is heavy when he takes a walk.
He takes a walk.
His wig is even bigger than the wig of Bach.
It is tremendous.
It is stupendous.
It is gigantic
And Titanic
Monumental
And colossal.
Inordinal
And humongous

And it's big
So very big
It's REALLY big.

It's so very wide, you'll need a guide, if you step inside.
So grandiose, you'll overdose if you get too close.

Because it's big, big.
Beethoven' s wig.

It's stylish and its handsome.
It cost a small king' s ransom.
Five hundred bucks and then some.
But that hair salon is glowing
That that wig seems like it's growing
It keeps his face from showing
Beethoven' s wig needs blowing.

For its so big
Beethoven' s wig' s so very big
It so big it's filled with goo.
It such a problem to shampoo.

Beethoven' s wig' so very big.
It's such a mess
It even has its own address.
It's own address.

It's such a mop
He should stop
At the barbershop.

His mother called
She said he would look better bald.

It is big.
So very big.
Beethoven' s wig.



Sincerely,
Gargoyle
