YT link to a compilation w/ a few of the examples: Even though the memes didn’t receive as much notice, sources such as Classic MPR and Classic FM didn’t hesitate to share the love of this magnificent meme. which must have a post coming, just for itself at some point. These variations seemed to be most popular amongst FB groups such as Classical Music Shitposting and (OK im not sure but probably) 4’33” Dangerposting. Similar to the Lick and Beethoven 5 memes, the variations consist of shitposting on top of the OG image, with different pieces such as Twinkle, Lick Me In The Ass (mozart), 4’33”, and more. Put all the points I just made together, and you’ve got yourself a Quality Music Meme ™.Īs I mentioned earlier, this meme is a bit peculiar, because although the original image (most often seen is the tweet with the caption) went viral, the accompanying variations. It’s also important to note that, the other reason why people seemed to get so fired up about it, is because the title of the caf é seems to be a reference to the classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (here’s a sample piece, if you’re not familiar with his work)…Just for clarification: Mozart did not write the Flinstones theme AS FAR AS WE KNOW.
Spoiler alert for any readers who haven’t caught it: It’s the Flinstones Theme. like the lick, you have to be able to read music to get the joke.) (BTW IM NOT SAYING THIS IS AN INHERENTLY BAD THING i’m just pointing out that. Therefore, those who claimed “I’m glad taking violin lessons years ago paid off” are associating their understanding of the joke to past experiences in a musical education. Additionally, the ability to be able to understand the joke comes from (I suppose you could say) an “elitist” presumed skill which is the ability to read Western music notation. As I observed in the comments section on both posts, many people were intrigued by this image because it brought back nostalgic feelings of studying music (whether it be in school, private lessons, etc.). Now, before getting into the variations, it is helpful to review just why this image became so famous. The image appeared on Twitter shortly after in June 2018, in w hich a tweeter (who saw the post on FB and shared the original image as well) added a different caption:īut ok, we can all guess where it really (or at least probably, as far as we know) originated: Reddit. The story goes: in May 2018, a person on FB posted the original photo of the menu from this cafe with the caption, “ I guess my question would be: Did they just google some “clip art music” when making their sign or did they actually know?” and this post went VIRAL with more than 2.5K likes and 8.5K shares. Unlike most other memes that I have written about (except the Lick), the Amadeus meme variations are not as well-known as the original source itself.
