When I'm Queen of All (especially tea, yarn, and fuzzy kitty bellies), all filmmakers (including TV) will be forbidden to use Beethoven's 9^th. Verboten!

(I adore Beethoven's 9^th with mad adoration. I detests its ubiquitousness equally.)

[Filmmakers wanting to make the story of Beethoven will be exempt from this rule. However, they'll have a hard time convincing me that they can do better than has already been done with Immortal Beloved.]

*embarassed* Which one is Beethoven's 9th?

[ginny-t.livejournal.com]

This one. I would be quite surprised if you didn't know it after hearing it. (But it could renew my hope for humanity having a little originality.)

Ah! Ode to Joy. The official (nearly official??) anthem of the European Union. Yes, I've heard it. I just tend to get all those numbered symphonies mixed up. (For example, I can't tell you what number is the Pastoral Symphony.)

[ginny-t.livejournal.com]

The Pastoral is the 6^th. I know because I'm a dork.

Oh, EU, why? 400+ years of incredible music to choose from, and everyone goes for the Ode to Joy.

I suspect EU chose Ode to Joy *because* everyone goes for it. :D
But I agree that with 400+ years of great music to choose from, they had the chance to be more original and blew it.

when i view this post on my firends list, it looks like you are the queen of yam.

i like yams.

[ginny-t.livejournal.com]

Yams are good, yes. You can be queen of yams if you like; I'm not greedy.

I thought you were queen of tea, yarn, and fuzzy kitty bellies! *grin*

And, oh, I do love Immortal Beloved. Haven't watched that in quite awhile. Must do so.

[ginny-t.livejournal.com]

True enough. When I'm the acknowledged queen of all of the above. ^_~

I haven't either. I should also do so. ^_^

I am very sad that the "Current Music" for this post isn't Beethoven's 9th.

[ginny-t.livejournal.com]

:-p I've never met a dog movie I liked.

The music couldn't be because I'd just been subjected to it in yet another amateurish attempt at juxtaposing the beautiful uplifting music with the destructive stupidity of humanity. (I'm still rather cranky about it, as you can tell.)
