Peter Schickele - Canzonetta intro

Copied!

{Professor Schickele}
And we're into the home stretch here on "The Last Gasp". The bad news is that not one of those special pledge telephones has rung during the last hour. So, I'm going to have to make good on my promise-

{Jocko}
More like a threat

{Professor Schickele}
-to play the other one of those P.D.Q. Bach brass sextets and Jocko if you go Oooh oooh one more time I'm gonna tie your mittens together behind your back

(Blondie laughs)

{Jocko}
(in a proper accent)
I haven't the faintest idea to what you are referring!

{Professor Schickele}
And this one is called, "Canzonetta 'La Hooplina'" (The Girl from Hoople)

{Jocko}
Comin' atcha!

{Blondie}
Willy-nilly!

{Professor Schickele}
Like it or not

{Jocko}
On WTWP!

Biography

edit bio

Peter Schickele (born July 17, 1935) is a comedian, composer, conductor and pianist best known for his parodies and satires of classical music – most often written through the fictional character of “P.D.Q. Bach”, the profoundly untalented “twenty-first of Johann Sebastian Bach’s twenty children.”

His comedy and live shows incorporate slapstick, elaborate puns, and performances of P.D.Q. Bach’s “music” that sometimes feature odd instruments (such as the “pastaphone” and the “schlagenfrappe”, the latter of which is simply a set of tuned cardboard tubes that the player hits himself on the head with); he has also written original music that is attributed to himself.

He has won five Grammy Awards; between 1990 and 1993, he won four consecutive Grammys for Best Comedy Album.
