[Peregrinator]

I said please, you motherfuckers.

 

[Farrah]

I said please, you motherfuckers.

I listened, but I am clueless. And is that a musical lighter???

 

[Peregrinator]

It is. Yet more detritus from Dead Uncle Estate.

 

[semen4her]

It called give me that lighter.

 

[Peregrinator]

It called give me that lighter.

Give me that lighter, oh
Give me that lighter, oh
Give me that lighter, you

Well it sure as hell isn't the Star Spangled Banner!

Good mystery.

I've found similar lighters on line. They play things like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". Yours is playing something else, but my guess would be it also has the word "Smoke" in the title. Or "Fire". That might narrow down your search.

Found it! Good tip, DCL.

[evesdream]

Out of curiosity what does the inscription underneath "Musical Lighter" say? Is there anything inscribed on the winding key?

 

[semen4her]

Well that was uncalled for.

 

[evesdream]

I can't help myself sometimes.

I don't have that many people coming into my shop looking for a musical lighter...

Hah! That would be a hilarious music box song.

It's from Moulin Rouge.

That doesn't sound like the same song to me.

Because you asked so sweetly:

Of course it was! So is everything ever done or said by any human being in the history of the universe.

 

[sweepthefloor]

I kept waiting for it to blow up.

 

[Peregrinator]

I kept waiting for it to blow up.

I could arrange that, I think.

 

[sweepthefloor]

I could arrange that, I think.

It reminded me of a jack-in-the-box.

 

[evesdream]

That doesn't sound like the same song to me.

Because you asked so sweetly:

It's the same tune, just a different arrangement and it's really cute. Are you going to keep it?

 

[Peregrinator]

It reminded me of a jack-in-the-box.

It is a bit like one, yeah.

It's the same tune, just a different arrangement and it's really cute. Are you going to keep it?

It's not a different arrangement if the intervals between the notes and the tie value of them is different. That makes it a different song.

Oh, sure, unless someone wants to buy it for an obscene amount of money or trade it for, say, a gun I really like or something like that. Dead Uncle left boxes of stuff like this, some of it worth rather a lot and some of it just kinda old and cool.

Put it this way, it's the same tune arranged for a miniature music box. There's just a limit to the number of notes and pins you can fit into something that size and the Japanese makers did their best with the meter and pulse. Don't make me bring a poll up in here, yo.

They're nothing alike. The rhythms are entirely different.

 

[neci]

i have no clue as to the tune, but that has to be one of the neatest things i've seen in a while.

Somewhere in Japan an 80 year old music box maker is weeping.

Hm... guess I'll click the original link and see.
