Bach was so mathematical and I liked this idea that you could have one instrument going, 'One, two, three, four', and then you have another instrument going, [double time] 'One, two, three four', and another instrument going, [doubled again] 'One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four', so you could add twos and fours and eighths, and that happens a lot in Bach.

Going to do it to you sweet banana, like it's never been done, and we'll get high, high, high, in the mid-day sun.

Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard.
