Das Bach?
Bach probably didn't compose the Toccata and Fugue in D minor. If you don't recognize the name, you'll definitely recognize the opening melody, especially if you've seen Fantasia. The beginning of the fugue part has been my cell phone ringtone for awhile (no Crazy Frog for me) -- now I've lost all nerd-cred.

I can't believe how much Crazy Frog history is on that Crazy Frog page.
On a totally unrelated, but amusing note, my home town of Irvington, NY had a mayoral election this Spring that was decided by one vote. After a protracted legal battle over whether or not to count one outstanding sealed ballot, the election was ultimately declared a tie and they fell back on New York State rules for settling a tie: random lots.
So, they put a bunch of quarters into a bag, half representing the old mayor, half representing his challenger, and then the Village Trustee drew a quarter.
Eh, my vote still wouldn't have mattered.
Oh, wait. Nevermind.
You can read more about it at the link above, if you're so inclined.
Hah! How fitting that it would be your hometown in that situation -- how many times have I heard you say that your vote doesn't count?
I like the random lots idea. I believe that the margin of error in elections should be determined one year in advance, and if the election results cannot be determined outside of the margin of error, there should be a coin flip or something similar. That would save us the money for really expensive recounts, and if an election is that close does it really matter who gets elected? It's also a good way to get rid of the electoral college without the perennial question: but what if there's a national recount?
the best part of the crazy frog wiki article is the lyrics.
poor susan b. morton. maybe if there were more pacific islanders in your town, the outcome could have been different.
