In case you were wondering, this is exactly what working at an exotics clinic is like. We had two cockatoos boarding a while back and half the staff was crammed into this tiny room trying to figure out what song one of them was trying to sing so we could play it for him. Both birds were delighted. And yes, we did find the song, and yes, he was very happy when we played it.
Too much electric guitar rock for my taste but just a happy reminder that SHANTIES ARE NOT A PASSING PHASE
Um. So, have you heard of the guy playing it before?
Personally, no
Cool! So, Brian May is the lead guitarist of Queen. He’s a major nerd, so he occasionally will hop on to a meme like this, and the electric guitar is his primary instrument.
His other options would have been acoustic guitar - which he’s great at, but doesn’t really have his signature style - or his voice, which he is a bit shy about because he’s spent most of his life playing in bands with world class voices. So electric guitar was inevitable when he decided to try his hand.
Thanks for putting up with the lecture (If you did. I’m a tutor, I can’t turn it off…) And have a great day!
That’s actually pretty cool to learn, thanks!
I love music to absolutely no end and the shanty uprising is a big deal for me. And music itself is like an inherent thing woven deep within my soul.
I wish he chose acoustic guitar instead, but it’s really cool to learn. Thanks for the info! I love info dumps!
Brian May isn’t just a big nerd, he was going to be an astrophysicist! Queen was this beautiful combo of art majors and stem majors. One of the first examples I ever saw that science and art come from the place of passion, wonder and creativity.
He did finally get his PhD in 2007, because his dissertation topic (on “Zodiacal dust” or basically the solar system’s cloud of smaller rocks we’d barely call asteroids) was relevant to exoplanet research. NASA has convinced him to be involved in a bunch of little things since then, usually in stereo imaging, so he’s listed as a scientific collaborator on New Horizontal for this stereo image:
I understand the frustration at seeing something you love bastardized, especially when it appears like someone doing it for quick clout.
But I can’t help it; when I saw “too much electric guitar” underneath Brian May, it reminded me of the IGN review of Pokémon ORAS that said, “too much water.” 🥺
I know. I was on the verge of tears. And I love the red suit with the black and white polka dot shirt. I love when Annie wears tailored pieces and not giant linen peasant blouses.
As if her unwarranted, unfounded propaganda against childhood vaccinations wasn’t enough (because correlation does not equal causation), Jenny McCarthy thinks she’s cute and funny, too.
The only Disney parody that mentions a ‘clit’. ’I Make Snow’ is a parody of ‘Let It Go’ from Frozen. Special Shout out to Margaret Cho.
Written By: Mike Kelton and Morgan Miller
Singer: Emma Hunton
As soon as I heard Frozen might be produced as a Broadway musical, my dream cast featured Emma Hunton as Queen Elsa. I would love to her her sing “I Make Snow” as herself (even though her Idina Menzel impression is SPOT ON).
Seriously, her vowels and breathy dramatic delivery match Idina Menzel flawlessly and that is half of what makes this parody so great.
Favorite part:
“And I don’t care that I’m a big old gay. Let the storm rage on. This cape never flattered me anyway.”
