B Flat Is Rather Odd

Okay, so I am obsessed with vuvuzelas, and their B-flat-ish-ness.

First of all, why B flat, and not A sharp? Why vuvuzela, and not lepatata?

Nonetheless, B flats make alligators bellow. See?



B flats also continue after you are gone.

Black holes sing in B flat. Apparently, in basso profondo B flat.

Johnny B. Goode is a famous song in B flat. And, as NPR (which seems to be even more obsessed with B flat than I am) tells us, the opening guitar lick in "Welcome to The Jungle" is in B flat.

Thanks to YouTube's new vuvuzela button, which may possibly be one of the top 10 worst best ideas ever, you can now overlay vuvuzelas on top of these tracks. Just click the little soccer icon at the lower right of the video screen. You have to go to the YouTube site, it doesn't work with the embed code.

And, saving the best for last, Vuvuzela Concerto in B Flat.
