00:43 "Leck mich im Arsch" - Canon in B flat for 6 Voices, K. 231 / K. 382c

Mozart had an infamously childish sense of humor. In particular, he was obsessed with what we’ll call “scatological humor”. The best-known example of this is a party song called “Leck mich im Arsch,” which is the German-language equivalent of “kiss my ass.” The controversial piece wasn’t published until after Mozart’s death, when the lyrics were altered to be more appropriate. The music you’re about to hear includes the original lyrics as Mozart intended. What’s another piece of music that makes you laugh?
