Quite often, I enjoy having my mp3 player play all the tracks in alphabetical order. This can produce some very interesting effects - "Dulcinea (reprise)" goes straight into one of the boss battles from Zelda: Spirit Tracks, for instance. But I already knew about that one. Today I found a new amusing juxtaposition.
I know at least one of you will know exactly what I mean when I refer to "My Eyes are Fully Open", from Pirates of Penzance. The track on my player contains that song and the dialogue (trialogue? punctuated monologue? I'll just call it dialogue, even if talking to each other isn't exactly what happens...) that follows. In normal playthroughs, it is immediately followed by "Away, Away!" This morning, in the alphabetic play, it... was not. What followed it was, instead, "My Fluttershy". Which has just enough similarity in the opening notes to make it an absolutely hilarious follow-on.
