C, E-flat and G walk into bar...

...and the bartender says: “Sorry we don’t serve minors”, so E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

 

D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, “Excuse me. I’ll just be a second.” Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, “Get out! You’re the seventh minor I’ve found in this bar tonight.”

 

E-Flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, “you’re looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development.” Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural.

 

Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.

 

Found this and couldn't resist...

 

Let's see what you guys have got.

Long pause and then a crescendo of random notes come running in the bar demanding direction from the bartender. The bartender has one look at the cascade of discordance and demands a full stop. He listens to their demands one by one until one tenacious D stands out, solo before him and says, look I am very open but I have come here with A who is my relative and my hot headed son D who has brought his friend F who is very sharp. We come in harmony and together we stand as strong as Kirk Douglas in the movie Spartacus, who by the way has a cleft chin. At that point the bartender says ENOUGH!! Hold your breath and count to 7 or out the door to settle the score...

This is a bit of fun from 10CC.

 

"I Bought A Flat Guitar Tutor".

 

First, the lyrics alone;

 

I bought a flat

Diminished responsibility

You're de ninth person to see

To be suspended in a seventh

Major catastrophe

It's a minor point but gee

Augmented by the sharpness of your

See what I'm going through

Ay to be with you

In a flat by the sea

 

Then an explanation. This extract courtesy of Wiki...

 

"I Bought a Flat Guitar Tutor" is a song by 10cc appearing on their 1977 album, Deceptive Bends.

 

The song is quite short and often thought of as a novelty piece amongst fans. The lyrics to the song are all puns for musical terminology. Whenever Eric Stewart or Graham Gouldman sing the name of a chord the chord is played as part of the music to the song. The chart below attempts to explain the complex idea.

 

  • I bought A = A major (A C♯ E)
  • [A] flat = A Flat major (A♭ C E♭)
  • [A flat] diminished = A Flat diminished (A♭ Cb E♭♭)
  • Responsibility (responsibilitE)= E Major (E G♯ B)
  • You're de ninth = D9 (D F♯ A C E)
  • Person to see = C Major (C E G)
  • To be suspended = Bsus4 (B E F♯)
  • in a seventh = A7 (A C♯ E G)
  • [a seventh] major catastro- = A Major 7th (A C♯ E G♯)
  • phe = E major (E G# B)
  • It's a minor = A minor (A C E)
  • point, but Gee = G major (G B D)
  • [but gee,] Augmented = G augmented (G B D♯)
  • [Gee, augmented] by the sharpness of your = G sharp augmented (G♯ B♯ D♯♯)
  • See what I'm going through © = C Major
  • A (A) = A Major
  • to be (B) with you = B Major (B D♯ F♯)
  • in a = A Major
  • [in a] flat = A flat
  • by the sea = C Major

Finally, if you want to try to play along........and I wish you Good Luck!
