"Deconstructing Johann" Lyrics: J. S. Bach had a little problem. J. S. Bach was in a fix. J. S. Bach couldn't find an answer. What to do? I've written most of a rather fabulous work! Toccata, it's in D minor, but now I'm feeling a bit of a jerk. I can't think of what should come after it. Now, said his wife, who was resting up after her 33rd child. Johann, my dear, you should just go to bed. Something always comes up. Don't be a twit! It's a real crisis and I'm working to a deadline. What can I fit? What to fit after the great toccata Maybe it needs to be something faster I haven't got a clue and in a week the piece is due I'm in a panic. I'm stuck like glue. Don't get your knickers in a twist, Johann, 'Those are only notes,' you've always said. There's only twelve so use your head How many arrangements of twelve notes can there possibly be? That's a problem I don't want to deal with How many permutations on C and D and E and F and G, A, B is a thing that I never heard of. You can leave that to Arnold Schönberg He is the person to do that twelve-tone thing No! No! It isn't the answer, I haven't the foggiest. What am I gonna do? I'm all in a panic Aaah, no. What can I do? I've finished my toccata but I have no fugue (Phone ringing) Ah... and now I've got the fugue!

i know this. any dumb fuck knows this. its common comic sense. maybe next time you should keep your nose out of things that are too big for you son.

the faces have everything to do with the music you dick. gestures, expressions, they all tie in to the comedy of the piece. music cannot thrive on its own if it is to be performed publically, it must depend on the way it is delivered. its not a serious piece after all. If they remained dead pan throughout the piece it would have more of a comedic feel about it. "fawlty towers"esque almost. pulling faces doesnt make people laugh.

faces have nothing to do with the music. At least it means they are into this song. Not like those singers who have a face like that his father's dead. What's the fun in there? This song was supposed to be comedic. you're so lame.

amazing harmonies and really really tight but i wish that they just let go of the comedy faces, especially the tenor on the left. Its so lame.
