no

As a guess, I would say the clue is in the title and that it's Mozart's Fugue in G Minor.

Me neither.

I want to call it Bach's Fugue in G Minor, but it only vaguely sounds like the versions I've heard.

Heh, just found a different copy of Mozart's piece. So what does Philosopy win?

:eek: Uh-oh, you're giving Ireland to a Brit? The Irish are going to be mad...

Never mind that, just enjoy the Guinness. :)

And talk to someone called Paddy in a pub.

My mate is Sean. Are you trying to start a fight? ;)

And now, I can't find the song. :(

That's my name... :eek:

You're right. I am not happy...:mad:

I don't care, but then again I don't live in one of those areas...

You're right. I am not happy...:mad:
Well, tough luck, I'm you're ruler now and you'll obey my every command. ;)

That's my name... :eek:

Really? I thought it would be something Germanic, like Helmut, Jan or Heinrich.

You do know that 'Sean' (not the original Seán) means old? So yeah, I'm shaking in my boots. Almost as scary a name as Sean Bean, which translates to old woman...

If you were a truly great leader, you'd order pub time for us all. :p

Now I know you're trying to start a fight. :p

One of my primary school teachers used to call me old woman as a nickname, because it's the opposite of my surname.

Really? I thought it would be something Germanic, like Helmut, Jan or Heinrich.

Well, my mum has a German name, and my dad has a name derived, AFAIK, from Greek (not uncommon, I'd imagine, for the orthodox Ukrainians), so I get stuck with an Irish name. Same reason I didn't get to learn German or Ukrainian; instead of teaching me both to please my grandparents, they just taught me English... >_>

... Youngman?

I was under the impression that Sean was just the Irish form of John, meaning "gift of god." I think.

... Youngman?

Newman. I suppose it's not quite opposite.

... Youngman?
Actually, that's probably right. I know a few Youngmans...

I was under the impression that Sean was just the Irish form of John, meaning "gift of god." I think.

That was my understanding too. Sean = Jean = John = Ian = Jan, etc.

Newman. I suppose it's not quite opposite.

Any relation to Sam?

Yeah, it probably is, but in Irish (Gaelic) the word 'sean' means old. I'm not talking about name origins, I just think that it's a funny coincidence.

Any relation to Sam?

No. It's a pretty common name & much like Smith, there's a high chance that one isn't related.

I've never understood why cultures insist on naming their children with actual words. Like Chinese people name "Little Dragon" or "Potato Cake."

Aww...

Mmmm, potato cake. I wonder if the fish & chip shop is still open.

I'm sorry Greater Alemannia for completely getting off point. I listened to it, and, honestly, the style had lead me to believe that it was from some old video game! Anyway I think you've already got the right answer from somebody else. I never would've guessed that it was Mozart...

Aww...

As a child, I was very often asked if I was related to Paul. I watched very little TV & very few movies when I was a kid, so I never realised that people were jokingly asking me about the actor. I would always think about it, then very seriously answer "no". Sometimes I would add "I do have a cousin called Matthew, whose middle name is Paul". They probably thought I was either a smartarse or an idiot.

They were probably right on both counts. :p
Sorry, I'll go away now :(

I don't care, it's an interesting convo. I think it's Mozart, although I can't find another copy to verify that. And it sounds like a game song because it's in midi form...

They were probably right on both counts. :p

Truth be known, they probably were. :p
