captainsblog....as opposed to me, who you're hearing way too much from;)
One of the musical bumpers between segments of last Sunday's Wait Wait was the final notes of PDQ Bach's Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion. (It's the segue between the Bluff the Listener and the Not My Job portions.)
As I've mentioned here before, we played that puppy in high school wind ensemble, complete with the clarinetists removing their mouthpieces and using them as duck calls and then gargling a B-flat scale.
A fuller clip set from the whole piece, not quite two minutes' worth, can be downloaded here. It's an .ogg file, which the VLC media player, at least, plays very nicely. You may have to adjust the equalizer to get the duck calls, though.

Oh, and as long as we're sharing music, I may as well share some of my own.

metaquotes had a running discussion about the stereotypical portrayal of Irish in the current Heroes arc (buncha gangstaghs, hangin' out in pubs, bad Irish accents, etc.). One thing led to another and I was contributing me own piece of the Old Sod (by way of Carbon Leaf and/or Great Big Sea) to the discussion:
::blows on pitchpipe::
Ohhhhhh, the night that Sylar got run through
Was a night I'll never forget
Hiro killed him with his sword
And he ain't empowered yet
As long as the Haitian was hangin' round
He was just plain Gabriel Gray
Candice saved his sorry ass
A comeback role to play
That's how they fixed the plot to bring back Sylar
That's how they bent time and kept us mystified;
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another
And every brain in the place was gone the night that Sylar died

and the voice singing it belongs to an Irish pirate.
Sometimes when Sylar's near and it rains
I am careful to hold onto my brains
Do Mohinder, Haitian and Bennet share
The same affection for regenerating Clare?
What about Hiro helping Kensei
Like Danielsan and his sensei?
Shirtless Peter got his shirt on,
but that lass sure kept her flirt on!
Arrgh, give me another pint!
