Decomposing Composers - Monty Python[00:00:00]
Beethoven's gone but his music lives on[00:00:14]
And Mozart don't go shopping no more[00:00:17]
You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again[00:00:20]
And Elgar doesn't answer the door[00:00:24]
Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh[00:00:27]
Whilst composing a long symphony[00:00:30]
But one hundred and fifty years later[00:00:34]
There's very little of them left to see[00:00:37]
They're decomposing composers[00:00:42]
There's nothing much anyone can do[00:00:45]
You can still hear Beethoven[00:00:48]
But Beethoven cannot hear you[00:00:51]
Handel and Haydn and coachman[00:01:10]
Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal[00:01:13]
But nowadays no one will serve them[00:01:17]
And their gravy is left to congeal[00:01:21]
Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds[00:01:25]
With their highly original sound[00:01:28]
The pianos they played are still working[00:01:32]
But they're both six feet underground[00:01:35]
They're decomposing composers[00:01:40]
There's less of them every year[00:01:44]
You can say what you like to Debussy[00:01:47]
But there's not much of him left to hear[00:01:51]
Claude aching Debussy died 1918[00:01:55]
Christendom Willemstad cluck died 1787[00:02:01]
Carl maria Avon weber not at all well 1825 died 1826[00:02:07]
Giacometti Meyerbeer still alive 1863 not still alive 1864[00:02:16]
Modest Mussorgsky 1880 going to parties no fun anymore 1881[00:02:24]
Jonah nepotism Hummer[00:02:32]
Chatting away nineteen to the dozen[00:02:35]
With his mates down the pub every evening 1836 1837 nothing[00:02:37]
