Beethoven's 9th: The Original Mashup

koppie — Mon, 07/09/2012 - 21:41

I don't think you realize just how awesome Beethoven's 9th really is.  Beethoven was a rebel in his day - the original punk rocker - and he broke so many rules with his 9th Symphony it's amazing they didn't take away his baton.  (Actually they did; he co-conducted the first performance of the 9th but the "real" conductor told the orchestra to ignore Beethoven.)

Break it Down: I'se the B'y
