You should say "get run over" not "get ran over". That's like saying "he got took" instead of "he got taken", or "it got stole" instead of "it got stolen".
In highschool I did a project on Mozart, and it eventually just turned into me reading one of the really inappropriate letters he sent to his family (I can't remember if it was his cousin or sister?). It was my proudest moment.
He wrote a series of (extremely explicit) letters to his cousin, Maria Anna Thekla, who he had a sexual relationship with. They are genuinely disgusting, as is the group of letters sent to his sister, Nannerl, which includes many explicit references to feces.
Saracha Muichacha Well, here’s the issue. The shit our youth listen to is shit that tells them drugs and doing illegal shit is good and okay, none of the crap back then was RARELY played for youth, not to mention... they were a lot more intelligent than you’ll ever be ahahaha.
WomenAreJust VesselsForBabyGravy I know right, can’t wait to try gray death where a single dose can kill me, yes please😍 also can’t wait to break the laws because iM So BaDAsS
If we were back in the 90s you wouldn’t have UA-cam to thank for the video. Don’t worry though, they hadn’t killed Limewire off then, so as long as you don’t mind having a computer full of viruses you could have free music on your voicemail.
@@scottmantooth8785 Technically you can only be charge with crimes related to that if you are fully aware you are exposing the other person to a dangerous virus. It is technically considered first degree murder if you know you are sick then someone dies to your act of a "prank" however as long as you aren't aware of any dangerous things it would at best be manslaughter even if they died as a result. In the event they didn't die but simply fell ill you could maybe be sued for damages "Basically they'd need to prove they lost money because of the illness then prove you were the cause of it." Which would more then likely only result in you loosing some money not being imprisoned. Sadly laws like almost everything else tends to be situational and entirely based in opinion. Not fact. Interesting this is why I'd suggest lawyers would likely be able to seemlessly transition to stage acting. They are used to playing to a crowd and controlling their opinions and feelings with their actions.
I just had to spit my food out of my mouth in laughter, hearing simon say the peculiar german sentence at the beginning. You really made my evening, thanks!
I'm guessing these people wold have loved the film "two girls one cup." No, I have not seen it, nor do I want to, but I have seen many references to it.
Mozart obviously had the equivalent of a thesaurus and was putting as many synonyms as possible into a letter between close friend both of whom enjoyed bathroom humor. Today we have Saturday Night Live and it 'entertains' millions.
Damn, Germans and feces go hand-in-hand, even in the 18th century(says a person with German heritage). Filthy Frank also did a video on this topic a couple years back, I was surprised to hear about it at first, then I started laughing my ass off the more I watched. This goes to show, even the most classiest and most respected people in the world can love gross out, toilet humor.
my band teacher told the class about some of mozarts pieces, which had a more innopropiate meaning.. im now invested into this mozart guy a little more..
There's a brief scene toward the beginning of the 1984 movie 'Amadeus' where Mozart (Tom Hulce) was playing a game with his fiancée Constanze (Elizabeth Berridge) by saying sentences backwards. She then had to translate them by saying them in the normal way. One of those sentences was 'Eat my shit'. Quite provocative when I first heard that back then.
Simon, this was too funny! It's good to know that the guy who always ranks above the rest of the Classical composers was probably the main name mentioned when everyone sobered up the next morning! Funny!
I went to school for six years and achieved a bachelors and masters degree in music and I never learned anything this interesting.. I would’ve been a straight 4.0 student if this is what they would’ve taught awesome I love this video keep them coming
Am I the only one who imagined those lyrics with the background music from the Three Stooges??? I bet Mozart would have loved them...... "Helloooo.... Hellooooo.. Helloooo! Hello? Hello? Hello?"
To Simon specifically, how do you feel when you see something like this come up in the queue? When you realize you'll be reading such things in that perfect documentary voice, are you happy to indulge in it? bothered by it? maybe just completely jaded after hosting over a thousand videos? I'd love to know your sentiment.
It's no wonder german toilets were made to be in a way that the shit just sits there for people to look at it first before flushing. They seriously have a colective fetish.
Not really... German toilets are like a drawer, they have this horizontal plane where the shit is perfectly layed out in full display. "Regular" toilets have a slope that leads the shit directly to the water. You might still need to flush but the traditional german toilets do it in a rather different style and put an emphasis on havng the turd perfectly perserved for your viewing pleasure.

Those posters are an awesome idea, especially for school classrooms. You should make one every year with the year's highlights (if you don't already do that).
Jerjer B People had huge bathtub sized wash basins to bathe in and the especially poor would bathe in rivers. It wasn't the cleanest but they weren't all caked in shit 24/7
Another composer given to wordplay was John Lennon - A Spaniard in the Works. Not naughty, but for some of his line art. But that which you narrate could be taken as a Douglas Adams satire upon highly paid pop music.
I think there is a missconception about the meaning of those sentences. As most English speakers use today the "F*" word in almost every sentence so did and do the German speakers use "lick my a*" . Which can mean somebody is woderous about something as well as a dislike as well as a like of something, or even just "f* off" or state a disconcern . It can also mean that you are not interested in something.
Honestly you have to at least admire the Simplicity of the insult. To wipe your butt with the coat of arms of another family makes it abundantly clear what you think of them and no words or expensive ink are necessary. Particularly for the German nobility it was common place to have a stock of pages addressing various other families with whom you were often in contact either because of long-standing quarrels or because they were your allies. so page with the almost any other family's coat of arms already stamped upon it was readily at hand for most Noble families. There is an old story from the German part of my family that when a male relative of mine was found to have been writing romantic letters to a higher-ranking Nobles second daughter without the father's permission. A letter with our family coat of arms covered in the s*** of the offended Noble was delivered by one of his Messengers was quickly forthcoming. At which point the young man had to explain to his own father what exactly he thought he was doing with a higher-ranking man's daughter. I'm not entirely clear if I remember the outcome of this particular story correctly or not as I may have a confused with another one. but eventually the fact that the girl was already 13 years old and a second daughter when their household already had at least two sons. The young man apparently defended himself to his father stating that he knew the girl was still a little bit too young. but they had met when her older sister was being presented at court. he thought if he got her to write him letters he would have a better shot when she did come of age. He saw no harm in it as they had, had a good time talking to one another chaperoned by the girl's mother at the party. He had perceived the mother's chaperoning as permission. as he had asked the girl in front of her mother if she would be willing to write to him. The original messenger had been rather adamant that if the young man would not stop writing to the daughter. that he would be challenged to a duel. Evidently cooler heads prevailed eventually as no dual is recorded. Other correspondence indicate that the father eventually thought better of it and figured that it was better for his daughter to be considering marriage to a smaller household's eldest son then to risk her own poverty by getting marriage proposals from second sons and other lower ranking men without even an estate of Their Own. The family records indicate that he didn't marry her, but she did end up marrying one of his cousins.
Artbug It was based upon the four humours theory, It believed if you had too much of a single 'humour' it should be released. I.e too much blood then let's release some.
Artbug They're still used today, it's just that before they used it all the time because they thought most diseases were caused by excess blood. Leeches sucks blood out steadily. We use leeches today for things like, when reattaching fingers to the hands we put a leech on it so the arteries hook up. Plus, leeches help prevent blood from clotting.
Not to dispute what's already here... Just to add a perspective. Early on in medical science, such as it was, the practices and beliefs were usually structured along more anecdotal results than through the benefits of the "scientific method" we enjoy today. So in their defense, there was some anecdotal evidence that bloodletting could be consequentially beneficial to the patients. In some circumstances (like a hemorrhage or subdermal infection) it might release pressures as well as expel infectious materials... In such cases as the patient survived, the general philosophy was "never argue with success"... so to say. Some treatments probably risked far greater harm, but with every successful healing came further belief... regardless of whether the "treatment" prescribed had anything to do with the result or not... (like "bloodletting" specifically prescribed releasing the "corruption" of an infected cyst... etc) While we're at it, let's remember in those ages... Doctors really got to bury their mistakes. :o)
How many swings did you take at this one Simon? Or was it just a case of one deep breath and go for it? In any event in our PC world he would have been excused as a Tourettes sufferer. (Opinion)
Henry Purcell is certainly another one who wrote vulgar canons (or perhaps took vulgar poems and put them to music)! Funny and great to sing, although a bit high in register for me! My favs: 'Young John the Gardener", "Once, Twice, Thrice I Julia Cried" um trying to think of other ones.. "Pox On You!" Is another funny one
