There's a little book by Jezufa(??) Heifetz (published by Penguin) with the
atrocious title "From Bach to Verse" that contains nothing but such silliness.
Some favorites:
	Beethoven's Fifth starts with

	Take out the trash!
	Don't let it splash!

	and goes on for half a page.


	Brahms' Fourth Symphony begins with

	They sel-
	dom play
	In ju-
	nior proms
	The mu-
	sic of
	Jo-
	hannes Brahms.

Before you know, the seriousness of a whole lot of music will be gone forever.
