    I always loved the Armstrong & Miller skits in which they juxtaposed the 21st century with some other era. Like this Victorian pianist playing modern songs that completely go against Victorian era sensibilities, cavemen doing job interviews, posh RAF pilots talking like modern teenage girls, etc

  • @zhongwenren

    Just for reference here are the songs and the parts featured in the skit. 1st song Mouse T - Horny (around 50 seconds in), 2nd song is Ride on Time - Black Box (around 1minute 50 seconds in), 3rd song is Gay Bar - Electric Six (the whole song)

      @TheWinjin 4 года назад +2

      Fun fact: that kind of music did exist for centuries, I mean, fast and aggressive, it's just not something that you would play in a salon during conversations.
      And I also think that "gay" have got its modern connotation in like 1950s, so in the period portrayed it would mean "I want to take you to a *frivolous* bar" which still means that it's not uptight and "I have something to put in you" would be understood completely perfectly in context ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
