What women hear

[LVSteve]

Yesterday I wandered into the kitchen whistling my interpretation (AKA murder of) of a classical music tune.

"What's that?" asked my wife.

"Oh, Anitra's Dance, from the Peer Gynt suite".

WHAM!!!

I'm now lying on the kitchen floor with my beloved looming over me with a heavy kitchen implement.

"OK, Bucko," she screams, "no more visits to your buddy Pete Gynt at his 'suite'. Oh, and if I catch up with that Anita, her dancing days are over!"

Guess my wife is not a fan of classical music.

Of all the classical music out there to enjoy listening to;

I'd hit you too,
for making me listen to that tune.

I'm with her, sorry.

A Real Highbrow classical music lover ...

A Real Highbrow classical music lover ...

Can hear the William Tell Overture and not think of the Lone Ranger.

Or hearing Rossini, Chopin, Brahms, Liszt or Wagner without thinking of Bugs and/or Elmer.

"What women hear" Quote OP

They hear what they want to hear, many times not correctly!

Yeah, I get rightly accused of selective hearing also, and getting deafer by the minute.
As for music, I've a tin ear, and don't much care what hubby plays. Classical seems to be his choice while on the motorcycle, in the mountains. Seems somehow to fit-in there.

Don't worry about your tin ear. I have a cousin who claims to like music but insists on trying to sing. I still haven't worked out how she can be so off key with just one mouth.

Few things give me unholy thoughts like hearing an out on tune instrument or vocalists who hit every note except the ones they're supposed to.

They rank up there with ice chewers.

Another interpretation of Grieg's work.

Aural waterboarding.

I am responsible for what I say, not what you hear.

Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit...

 

[fiasconva]

I think I'd give up whistling.

After 45 years of marriage, that oh so true.......and I have the lumps to prove it.

I'm right there with you, and, being that I can hear a note is out of tune, you'd think I could sing... but NO! My voice control is so horrible that no matter what I do I can't get on pitch. I can tune a guitar and play a piano, but I'd give almost anything to be able to hit a note with my mouth!

Ulysses Grant, while a General in the Union Army and tone deaf, once famously commented that he only recognized two tunes.
One was Yankee Doodle;
The other wasn't.

You need that special mic that Barney Fife used.

Or just about any old Looney Tunes cartoon I watched as a kid. Back in the dim recesses of my memory I seem to remember a cartoon of the skyscraper being built in time with a symphony.
