(headdesk) Just wait until Opus II, which will be about a spider and a waterspout.

From the previous -1 of my comment and your headdesking, I sense I am missing something here. Am I supposed to not like Opus I but like the salmon or hammer tracks, or something like that?

It's "Three Blind Mice". (And I voted you up!)

Oh, so it is. I'm such a musical dunce.

I bet no-one's ever written a song for you before.

The last comment on the linked post said what it was!

What, like I read everything I see? You think I'm made out of time or something?

The next one will be about a spider and a waterspout

The sad thing is, even being told in advance what the melody is, I still have difficulty recognizing it.

I has a theme song! It even sounds a bit sinister! Well. Obviously I have to link that on http://www.gwern.net - it's not every joe schmoe that has his own theme song, you know.

Changing the beat, the scale and the chords probably doesn't help.

(Great artists steal. Therefore, theft is great art. This is fallacious, but you get more songs that way.)

Gwern titles such pretty music. Can I have one too? Maybe "White Coral Bells", or if that's hard to find, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"?

If that's "pretty", I expect you used "Sack Of Hammers" as a lullaby.

I feel like Sure I'll Draw That on Reddit ...

(unmixed mp3, will change for the better tomorrow when I can mix it on the crappy speakers. Requests taken, 10 karma for a slice of brilliance from my fragments pile with a public domain melody over it! Roll up! Roll up!)

Edit: Now mixed. Though there's still artifact problems in the 128kbps mp3 that just aren't present in the source WAV file - that's certainly an interesting problem I'd hitherto not encountered. Linked version is 192kbps, no (bad enough) artifacts.

That's it. The next one will be about a spider and a waterspout and will be called "Gwern"!
