Victor Borge ruled.

There was another part of the same routine in which he plays a song that sounds not too bad, but rather Oriental. He then hits a sour note, turns the piece *sideways*, and plays "Entry of the Gladiators" (the well-known circus theme).

How one would play a piece of music sideways is beyond me, but Victor Borge managed to imitate it quite believably. Heh.

And let's not forget the Theme and Variations on "Happy Birthday"...
