I has an idea

I'm going to need good quality "Unearthly Child" screencaps. Lots of.

(no subject)

Sound ON!

So I'm watching, or rather listening to, this gala of classical music favourites; well-known opera arias mostly (Vissi d'Arte; La donna e mobile; something out of Ballo in Maschera; and of course Nessun Dorma). And suddenly, I am jumping towards the TV and putting the sound on full blast: It's the overture of "Candide".
It's definitely one of those pieces that will put a smile on everyone's face, I'd even say it's worthy of the last Night of the Proms. Then they show the audience, and - sure enough, not a single smile. Bah. "Classical" doesn't always mean "serious"; I mean, listen to Mozart when he's had a few too many.
Oh, and it's "I am so easily assimilated" now. Wonderful. Me muero!
