Happy Birthday Zombie Beethoven!!!


Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany on December 16th-17th, 1770 (he was baptized on the 17th). He invented the piano, was friends with Chuck Berry, and even was renowned in Europe as a Gary Oldman impersonator. He also went deaf or something, got down with Isabella Rossellini, and invented Romantic music. He is best known for his 5th and 9th Symphonies (although he wrote close to 1,000 of them) and wrote a song for a little girl once. He supposedly died of consumption -- some "made-up" disease to cover the fact that he got bitten by a zombie in the Great European Zombie Uprising of 1827.

BW's favorites: Moonlight Sonata, Pathetique Sonata, 5th Symphony (1st Movement), 7th Symphony (2nd Movement), 9th Symphony ("Ode to Joy"), and many of his bagatelles.

Zombie Beethoven turns 237 years old this weekend!!! So, to celebrate Biscuit World presents a video of the 3rd Movement of the Moonlight Sonata performed by a Zombie Wilhelm Kempff (posted on YouTube 15 years AFTER he died! Nice try, Wilhelm!!! No way you can post stuff AFTER you're dead, dude. Silly goose!)

BW's favorite Composer of ALL TIME: Zombie Beethoven
