PAGODA VIDEO: Berryz Koubou Meets PDQ Bach
Two parts of my musical world collided when I stumbled across this on YouTube yesterday: A video combining screencaps from Berryz Koubou’s “Waracchaou yo BOYFRIEND” PV with one of Peter Schickele’s better PDQ Bach creations, the “1712 Overture”.
I saw Mr. Schickele when he was touring behind the 1712 Overture album in 1989, and this was one of the pieces he did that night, “The Farmer On The Dole” from the Four Folk Song Upsettings (which would end up on a later PDQ Bach album).

Genius! Thanks for linking to that. I’d forgotten all about PDQ Bach.
