Very amusing, and yet another way to popularize classical music. Dvořák will easily survive this abuse of his piece, originally for piano solo, as he did with all the other abuses (with a solo violin or with sentimental lyrics).

MichaelTheGM, I am not sure whether I understand the joke about plate-laying; something for Cambridge insiders? Could the imagined completion be something like:
Gentlemen will please refrain
from masturbating in the train
and flushing down the toilet all the goo,
lest some lass between the rails
whose suicide attempt just fails,
instead of no life may emerge with two.
? (We are four people here, of three mother tongues, and have just decided that this qualifies as folk process.)
