Anybody else think this sounds better in the 1940s style?

Started listening to Billie Eilish. Mostly because I heard the name enough times that I actually recognise it. I was like Captain America's "hey, I understood that reference" in how I was proud to be even vaguely aware of what people were talking about.
After a few songs, I actually rather like the music! This is the first time when I like a currently popular artist - or even am more than vaguely AWARE of a popular artist - since about Lady Gaga.

Screw it. Double post be damned.
There's a solo piano album of Hollow Knight music out now and you can order the sheet music too.

--- Quote from: Morituri on 27 Jan 2020, 10:41 ---I noticed today that one of the fugues in my Mozart collection has a rather peculiar title. : "Leck mich im Arsch" - Canon in B flat for 6 Voices
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=C78HBp-Youk
I believe that translates, more or less, as "Lick My Ass." And this is a vocal piece, so he had an entire choir singing it!
This makes me wonder mightily what the circumstances were under which Mozart wrote this, and who that message was intended for. Was it, as it would be in the modern era, an insult, or was this intended, in the outrageous-ranging-to-socially-clueless style Mozart was famous for, as a literal and heartfelt entreaty to an object of his affections?

Sorry for basically exhumating this, just stumbled over this. "Leck mich im Arsch" literally translates as "Lick in my ass", opposed to the "currently" used "Leck mich am Arsch" (lick my ass).
AFAIK Mozart is known to be somewhat of a troll though, so I guess a lot of his works are to be seen/heard with a pinch of humour.

Weird thing is: I can't listen to practically all of that generation's so called music, with the exception of Billie Eilish, to an extent. Some of the things she does are good, and there's a lot of potential, but mainly I'm getting Too Old For This Sh*t™.
