And let us not forget these timeless works of PDQ Bach:
The oratorio /The Seasonings
/The opera /Einstein On The Fritz/
The cantata /Gott sei dank, daß heute Freitag ist/
The /Pervertimento for Bicycle, Bagpipes, and Balloons
/
Not to mention "the /Toot Suite/, the /Grossest Fugue/, a /Fanfare for
the Common Cold/, and the canine cantata /Wachet Arf!"
/(Thanks to the Wikipedia page on PDQB!)
Best,
