Yes, I have listened to Bolero when I took endless hours of music theory and comprehension classes.

They never told us about fucking to it.

Wanna ?

Oh, nuts!

These young'ns never saw "10" with Dudly Moore laying it to Bo Dreeck to the tune of Bolero.


But have you ever fucked to Puff the Magic Dragon?

"10" was the worst thing that ever happened to that piece of music.

"Puff"? Nah, way to Denmark for my taste.

Bolero? How trite.

The problem with fucking to that piece of music is that the dynamics are too varied. Some parts are way too loud, others are way too soft. It's distracting.

Not only that, but I remember seeing that "fuck to Bolero" scenario on an episode of the Partridge Family, where Keith gets lucky.

We will put the Rescue Squad on standby.

Hahahahahaha. That's the first thing that comes to mind for me too, everytime I hear that song or someone mention it. I must have been what, about 15, at the time. I so had the hots for Susan Dey, even with her funny mouth. By the time Blake Edwards used it in 10, it was already a joke.

And btw, the "bolero" is actually a type of song, there are many Mexican boleros, Cuban boleros. The peice is question is what happens when a fancy-assed classical composer, Maurice Ravel, gets hold of a popular style. It's a slow love song.

Since 1928, when Maurice Ravel wrote Bolero, the piece has been one to stimulate discussion and argument. It has been called "hypnotic," "boring," "nerve-wracking" and "captivating". Undoubtedly, it has been all of these things to different listeners. It is, in any event, the world's longest musical crescendo.

Bolero, however, is in no way a serious attempt at Spanish dance music. Ravel's Bolero is not truly a bolero at all. The basic rhythm pattern remains, but the tempo of this work is much slower than the bolero dance. The bolero is not even a true folk dance, but rather a theatrical concoction based on the polonaise, chaconne and the zarabande.

I guess "longest crescendo" isn't a bad thing by way of sexual analogy.
