A symphony of music for your listening enjoyment

Now that Bunny is back in town, I can finally post a bunch of musical links for her (and your) enjoyment.

First off, a Muppet [1] duet—the Swedish Chef and Beaker [2]. Carmen [3] perhaps? It's familiar to me at any rate.

Next, a sextet, comprising of Beaker, Beaker, Beaker, Beaker, Beaker and Beaker, performing Ode to Joy [4].

Third up, everybody's favorite 17^th century one-hit wonder [5] Pachelbel [6]. Another solo sextet, but not Beaker this time. Give this one a bit of time, it starts off a bit slow, but gets better.

Fourth up, Theremin music [7]! Super Mario Brothers video game theme music [8] (link via nevesis [9]). In fact, the guy that did that plays a lot of Theremin music [10].

While listening to those, there's a theoretical paper on the semantic shifts of the Beatles' chords [11]. That is, if you are into music theory.

And just because, a dancing chicken [12].
