When in doubt, always end with a Beatles tune #2.

Daniel Levitin, Associate Professor off Psychology at McGill University said,

“How many people can hum even two bars of Beethoven's Fourth Symphony, or Mozart's 30th? I recently played 60 seconds of these to an audience of 700--including many professional musicians- but not one person recognized them.

Then I played a fraction of the opening 'aah' of 'Eleanor Rigby' and the single guitar chord that opens 'A Hard Day's Night'--and virtually everyone shouted the names.”

(The music comes up) And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
