Attention all bass clarinetists!
That commercial for the car company that plays a very bad version of the The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker Suite as background music is back for the holiday season!! GET YOUR REMOTES READY TO GO INTO THE MUTE POSITION!!!!
I just went and grabbed the bass clarinet and played it correctly so I could get the bad out of my head!!!

If it is what I think it is, then look for "gmc nutcracker" in YouTube.

If all I had to listen to were things the "way the're supposed to be", mine would be a very boring life. Lighten up--it's all in fun and really mean't to sell a product, not give us a lesson in music history.

This is why I hit the mute button immediately when the commercials begin. It's saved me a lot of brain cells. What's saved me even more brain cells is only watching about an hour of television per week (checking the local forecast every morning which could be done online, but why bother).
But keep in mind, the wise learn more from fools, then fools from the wise (in most circumstances).

I believe these are sequenced "samples" of a bass clarinet, not a real player playing the music.

Hi William,
Hey, I'm with you. At least people can hear from Tchaikovsky! And then in the simplest form they might say "hey, that's that big black clarinet isn't it...." or "wasn't that a song about some sugar plums whatever they are ...."
In the truest sense though, isn't program music meant to describe something? So if to GMC PR people it seems like the trucks and snow, who am I to question it.
William, you really broke me up on this one. We are getting jaded in our old age! You sound more like Dave S. every day (and that's a high compliment).
