You know, I was singing that tune just the other day. And I got a kind of... heh, heh... a kind of ringing in my ears and suddenly I couldn't hear a thing.
And I thought: if Beethoven was deaf as a post, how did he know what he was playing?
For example: if his piano was out of tune when he played 'duh-duh-duh-DUM,' what was the tune he was actually playing in his head?
It could have been 'aga-doo-doo, aga-doo-doo'
- it's a pity, because he could have had a big hit with that.
