This is a thread about music. All kinds of music: classical, jazz, blues, rock, folk, film music... any kind you can think of. The questions can be about anything related to music: about composers, musicians (performers), styles/periods, musical forms, musical instruments, or about particular pieces or songs.

I'll start with a person.

I confess that the reason I remembered Aida is that I got taken to see a production as a teenager and totally disgraced myself by getting a fit of the giggles just as someone was about to be sentenced to an unpleasant death... :)


OK, how about a song?

Is it "Happy Birthday"?

Just kidding. Is it rock, pop, or classical?

American? British? Other?

Country? Hip Hop?

Jazz? Blues? Traditional? Is the composer's name known?

Jul-12-2013 02:00

It's generally thought of as jazz, though there are other influences. The composer is well known.

Jul-12-2013 03:29

Other influences? Perhaps it's a part of an opera? Is it George Gershwin's "Summertime"?

Ba-ding!!! Daenerys's reputation as the best guesser in the pack is once more upheld. :)

Thanks for your good opinion, Cordy, but I think that we all make an excellent team ;).

The next one is also a song. Some may think it's a bit schmaltzy, but I love it, especially in its (probably) best-known interpretation.
