I adore all this sort of thing, but for the life of me will never be able to understand musical theory. I don’t know why, but I am sort-of-tone-deaf and distinguishing the differences/commonalities between various notes and arrangements feels solving a problem in a fever-dream.

Victor Borge does a similar thing with Happy Birthday

Fun! One criticism. There was a missed opportunity with the Phillip Glass response bubble. Instead of just ugh, it should have said Excedrin, the headache medicine.

The doggo really sells it tho…
