What is the song Martin Sheen is playing on the piano after the frozen cat interview?
Martin Short*
If I’m not mistaken, it’s Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven… been looking for it everywhere!
Found it! Itโs Chopins Prelude in E Minor
Thank You! I was looking for that too!
What was that bassoon piece, anyone know?
The first song she plays Gabriel Faurรฉ’s Pavane… which I only know because I recognized it as the beginning of S Club 7’s Natural, and Wikipedia told me that Natural samples Pavane.
Think you
The one that she plays first is Pavane, Op. 50 by Gabriel Faure!
If it is the first one in the window scene of The Sting, that was Pavane in F Minor, op.50 by Faurรฉ…
The end credits of episode 4 has an instrumental piece that sounds a LOT like Sonic Youth. WHAT IS IT?!?!?
Episode 1. When the begin the podcast โitโs not ok in okโ just before the fire alarm. Thatโs Dirty Three: The Zither Player
Episode 4 at the very beginning like timestap 1:07 WHAT IS IT
I have been hearing the beginning of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”.
Whose version of โMy Boy Billโ at the end of episode 7?
thats what i want to know too … was it John Raitt or Gordon MacCrea or was it Brian Stokes Mitchell?
did some Googling … Soliloquy My Boy Bill is sung by Joshua Henry ..
Steve Martin puts a record on the turntable. It seems the song is Neil Diamond… Which song is it????
What piece is she playing at the beginning of episode 9?
This is driving me nuts as well–I’ve heard it before but can’t find it.
It’s from the Firebird suite they mention–Berceuse
