De Funkt 2003-05-14 19:53:19 ET I'm trying to learn "Fur Elise," for 3 reasons: 1)because that's my final for my intro to Piano class 2)because everyone IN THE WORLD knows how to play it besides me (and I want to be like everyone else). 3)I didn't want to learn "the Star-Spangled Banner," and there's two reasons within the 3rd: 1)I don't want that information in my brain 2)Fuck the word 'Spangled.' That word sucks. Thank you.

Emptied 2003-05-14 19:55:40 ET ok to make you feel semi-better i don't know how to play but the first few notes of "Fur Elise". but i don't know a lot so that probably doesn't help. "Fur Elise" is a wonderful choice though, one of my favorites..again useless info that I am full of this evening. and spangled does suck big donkey, does it mean anything?

De Funkt 2003-05-14 20:00:01 ET It's just such an ugly word. Like, "Oh darling, look at the beautiful sky above us, how it's SPANGLED with stars." Fuck that. Hell, I don't even like the word SPANG. Pang's alright. Pootang's alright. SPANG? Nope. I am so full of useless info right now! I kinda like it.

Emptied 2003-05-14 20:01:20 ET I think I'm always full of useless info, or incorrect info at least. pootang...that's a great word!

Sinsation 2003-05-14 20:53:35 ET hehe, who's your teacher? I'm sure you'll get by with an A.

DanPratt 2003-05-15 04:26:52 ET LOL...'Spang' You'll do awesome; Fuer Elise is fairly easy and is very beautiful. One of the sections of it is one of my favorite to play in all of piano, but I haven't taken piano lessons in FOREVER so I should probabley try discovering some new illin' shit. Next you should learn the Moonlight Sonata...so beautiful. A dude playing the Moonlight Sonata is sexy (heh heh).

Sinsation 2003-05-15 05:11:27 ET Yes Fur Elise is pretty easy, and fun. Moonlight Sonata is one of my favorite songs.

Emptied 2003-05-15 18:39:25 ET learning moonlight sonata will get you laid for sure

DanPratt 2003-05-16 04:10:17 ET Emptied: Hahahaha! :-D
