Nov 12, 2009 - the fu(k is a musical sense of humour??? Stop makin up stuff. Really cool idea though and very well executed. Well done Bobby,

Nov 13, 2009 - Some scientists suspect that it`s the "nature scale" because you can find it in bird tunes as well for example. It`s definitely not just because of our western culture..

Nov 13, 2009 - a musical sense of humor is making music the basis of his jokes, or in fact the means to make the joke itself.

Nov 21, 2009 - i'm guessing everyone in the audience knew the scale.

ultimatezlover2004 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - No...it's one of the first scales in history. There are no half steps

Dopplershift Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - Of course they did, that's the whole point, they weren't coached but they all knew it anyway, for whatever reason we all know that scale instinctively. I don't play any musical instruments but I joined in with the audience and was able to sing along easily.
