(no subject)

I'm usually not one for IDing music bits, but someone who lives right near me has a car that honks when the door lock or unlocks remotely, with the exact first note of the William Tell Overture. Which means that it gets stuck in my head every time they leave or arrive home.

ETA: Also, in the realm of general music-ness, I haven't finished ripping CDs to my iPod, so the two shows in my Soundtracks playlist are Spamalot and Camelot, which makes for an interesting experience when playing the Soundtracks playlist on shuffle (and is a guaranteed way to get the William Tell Overture out of one's head at need).

What, a D? XD

Que??

the first note... is it a D?

how can one note get that in your head? I'm confused too.

Because the horn sounds like a trumpet playing that note for the exact length of time that the first trumpet in the overture does. If it sounded like a piano, it wouldn't remind me of it.

It's only that you said first note of William Tell overture. Western music only has twelve notes, you know? They get re-used a lot.

Remember my non-musicalness? A "D" by itself tends to be parsed as half a :D or as a grade, even when the context would lead a normal person to think of music.

And since I have no clue of what the first note of the William Tell Overture is other than "the note my neighbor's horn plays," my real,/i> answer is "Fuck if I know. If that's the first note of the WTO, then yes."

Ahh, I read the previous comment and now I understand. I was thinking of notes on a scale, you were thinking of the first note of a composition, rhythym (a dotted half-note, IIRC) and tone (trumpet). It's vocabulary confusion.

Gosh, all those words make sense individually, but together? XD

You'd never know I took violin for three years, would you? But it will be no surprise to you why I was in the second orchestra instead of the first. We were the ones who never bothered to practice. XD

Ah, sorry, made this comment before I saw the last one. Your note and my note are different.

I gave up music for college, so in the long run we're even XD.
