It would have been cool for those who can actually play or pick out a medley. But it would have gotten tiring listening to people repeatedly playing the only things most people can play on the piano - Chopsticks or that song people play by rolling their knuckles on the black keys (Does it even have a name?

Not to mention kids (and annoying adults ) simply banging on the keys.Imagine someone playing the Jaws theme by ear on that organ!!!Polynesian Princess wrote:It would have been cool for those who can actually play or pick out a medley.

Yeah, I agree, having the instruments and organ play a coherent tune will be nice....Polynesian Princess wrote:It would have been cool for those who can actually play or pick out a medley.

...I was thinking more about the Psycho theme from the Alfred Hitchcock film would be more appropriate, but in either case maybe you need to get the contractual rights from John Williams or the estate of Bernard Hermann first.MadEye wrote:Imagine someone playing the Jaws theme by ear on that organ!!!
It also helps with the mood and atmosphere too by keeping the music coherent. I wonder if they also worried about not being able to control what people played - you know someone would play (and probably sing as well) something inappropriate at some point.Amy wrote:Yeah, I agree, having the instruments and organ play a coherent tune will be nice....Polynesian Princess wrote:It would have been cool for those who can actually play or pick out a medley.

Possibly. What portion of the score are you referring to: the main theme or the shower scene? Either way, I believe it would be kinda hard to make the sound of violins on an organ...mindflipper wrote:...I was thinking more about the Psycho theme from the Alfred Hitchcock film would be more appropriate, but in either case maybe you need to get the contractual rights from John Williams or the estate of Bernard Hermann first.

Well, it says he drowned in the bath tub but was pickled in brine because he was allergic to dirt...mindflipper wrote:Actually, the Captain is drowning in a bath tub, not brine.Amy wrote:But the Captain is floating in brine!
