In his later years, Baloo turned his back on the popular Disney-Hanna-Barbera ‘jolly bear’ stereotype, and became more daring and experimental. His work was rarely performed, and little known, with the exception of one opus consisting of a single mournful, elegiac note cluster on the piano, titled “Where the fuck does she keep the Snickers?”. This became a brief internet sensation when the composer appeared on a security camera, played it once, stared at his audience behind the the camera, then walked off in silence.
