I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I like it, but it also makes my brain hurt. It's the weirdest thing--part of my brain thinks it's beautiful while some other part thinks it's an audio abomination

I don't like it. It sounds ordinary now.

I like this from one of the bb commenters:

It's like looking into the eyes of a sociopath.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Ha, I had to ask my composer/perfect-pitch-having cousin why it was so weird, and he actually confirmed what I thought, but couldn't articulate. By changing the key, it basically changes the way that the melody relates to the key. So our brains, completely trained in Western music and musical relationships, have a hard time dealing with it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I deleted part of my reply on FB that said "it must be a part of being ear trained in Western music" because I thought it might sound stupid! But it is like the tonic is in the wrong place because they didnt transpose the whole thing, right?

Yep.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Interesting.

I wonder if the guy who did this just didn't transpose everything? Or did he do it like this on purpose just to mess with our brains?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I listened to it, and the original version on YouTube, and I've been going back and forth between them, but I'm having a hard time telling that there is any difference.

Huh. That seems... weird to me.
