Read the Wiki link thoughtfully provided by Mr./Ms. Resist, Greg. It tells all.

I read most of it but didn't see this part:

The Redback spider is a member of the spider genus Latrodectus, in the family Theridiidae. It is related to the best known member of the group, the black widow spider

So....my interview for the music history assistantship is next friday, and just got real nervous about the interview with having to look at scores and discuss them (In terms of style, and performing forces in order to describe the genre and possible composer) during the interview.  I am just extremely worried....

The ingredients list on a tin of beans:

Contains beans and other organic substances

That is quite the catch-all, let's hope it's not a garnish of salmonella -_-

[DavidW]

Thanks everyone!  I made it through the trip alright.  Hotel is nice, tomorrow will be very busy.  My presentation is first thing in the morning but I have a full schedule of interviewing from 8 am to 6 pm ish.

Depending on at which pharmacy I buy my over-the-counter sleeping aid, they sometimes apply a warning sticker which says "May cause drowsiness".

Then, if it doesn't work, they're covered!

This is bugging me. There is a piano tune in my head, famous, that sounds American and maybe around 1920s - it's often used in media to create a general Laurel & Hardy or circus-sounding moment. It has four chords which repeat twice, then modulates (I think this is the word) up and down to form another group of four to the effect of a comedic/shambling march. It's hard to explain ahh.

[Papy Oli]

The laurel and Hardy cuckoo tune maybe ? ...it starts with 2 sets of 4 notes...

My interview went well, long day.  I'll fly back tomorrow.

[Lethevich]

Grats, David. I had a kind of interview today too, although infinitely less high pressure.

That is definitely the kind of thing, but not fully it. The reason it came to mind is because this movement appears to be an extended series of variations based either literaly on the tune, or unintentionally:

It comes closest in "tone" at the first two repeats of the four notes around 4:08, but rapidly digresses.

When she said "circus-sounding moment" that's what came to my mind.
