Aram Khachaturian - Sabre Dance[^]
This week, @Ed-Aymami posted his alternative SOTW, Edvard Grieg, and I stuck with the classical theme.
Coincidence has it that I recently created a playlist with all my favorite tracks from the past 15 years or so, and some classical pieces have made it into that list.
For some reason, I always hear the same subset of songs, even though I play the list on shuffle.
One of those songs is Aram Khachaturian's Sabre Dance from his ballet Gayaneh.
Sabre Dance is an awesome piece, it's fast and has lots of percussion.
I can also recommend the entire ballet, which also has lots of percussion (for a classical piece).
Back when I was a kid, like six to nine years old, I had a couple of cassettes with stories and fairy tales.
One of those cassettes had Treasure Island (or in Dutch "Schateiland") on them and this song was the soundtrack, loved that one as a kid.
I can still hear an ominous voice saying "SCHAAAATEILAAAAND" with this song playing in the back 
So this is a SOTW that's been 25 years in the making

I know them, they were somewhat successful in the 70's over here.
I think my dad used to listen to them when he was young, loooong before I was born

I have almost all their albums and also listened to them before you were born.

Good choice for tonight.
Kinda funny. Even though the tune was fast and pacy, it managed to settle my nerves after watching my team, Manly Sea Eagles (Rugby League), bow out of of the finals tonight after a very exciting match.

I know a name where all the wankers must have that name. Even their favorite toy[^] was named after them.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I assume there is a typo in the subject?

D'oh!
I guess I am going senile.
Hmm, does that mean it bounces back to OG?

Oops, I must be going senile.
I would say that was a foul and let it revert to you...
