It's not very important, but it dawned on me - how much the menacing Star Wars "Imperial March" (1980) for iconic villain Darth Vadar sounds like the sickeningly sweet Mary Poppins classic "A Spoonful Of Sugar" (1969).
Maybe another to be filed under "Talent Borrows, Genius Steals (Shits Copy)".
Uncanny. Only so many notes and words to go around I suppose.
**Update: I've been informed by "Old Man" Joe, that this is known as "parallel key modulation", he goes on (he does, but to explain this further he says "Most Depeche Mode songs use them liberally, luring the listener into a false sense of calm and wellbeing (major) then plunging them into a chasm of death and despair (minor)." There we go.
It's not very important, but it dawned on me - how much Abba's 1st single and Eurovision winning belter "Waterloo" (1974) sounds like The Foundations "Build Me Up Buttercup" (1969).

Excuse the clickbait headline - but really, you can; especially if you make the Tea a lot, like I seem to.
Anyway, here's the test you can take, and the science behind it; share this now before it appears on shite newspapers and they get ad revenue (I don't).
Definitely worth watching past the initial 30seconds. Probably something someone will copy and attempt on a X-Country Has Got Talent type of program soon.
Like Table Tennis? Here's a 91 shot rally - though why the bloke in the yellow didn't just back spin the ball like a drop shot I don't know.
And here's the Mythbusters firing a Ping Pong ball at 1100mph. Deadly.
You're lucky enough to be at a big show, working in some capacity and you want to show off, tell all your friends - it's what Social Media is for, right?
Er no. You are likely to be fired.
I know several that have been. I know some that have been taken to court. Just don't do it.
Watch how easily these two make fake working passes from this Instagram post, a wristband (like this one), then simply walk into the secret "we're-playing-Glastonbury-2017" Foo Fighters show in Frome.
Fortunately, these two just wanted to see the show, they didn't try and get backstage / onstage.
Imagine if Salman Abedi had also created a pass from a social media post, walked past security and detonated his device inside the arena?
Yes, he could've bought a ticket, but the pass would've allowed him to roam anywhere.
So if you see a friend or contact posting images of passes on social media, tell them off. Please. Let's make this something you just don't do on social media.
