Yes I Rule (Sometimes)
My buddy Jacob challenged me in a bar a month or so ago. I accepted. He said he believes it to be impossible to sing or hum or whistle or otherwise reproduce the main themes to the above pictured films. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Superman. The rules are simple. You must continue until the room reaches a general consensus that they recognize the theme and you aren’t way off the mark. You have only 10 seconds to regain your bearings before continuing on to the next theme. If you take too much time, you are disqualified. I finished the task, but they were iffy on my rendition of Superman. So iffy in fact, that Jacob stiffed me on the beer he had bet.
However, vindication was mine, for upon returning to our host for the evening’s humble abode, I looked up the tune on the internet and proved that I was merely singing the middle of the theme. He conceded the point, but alas, we were far from the bar, and there was no beer to be had. My challenge to you is to see if you can do it. No cheating!! I have included links to the three themes in MIDI format here. Check yourself afterward. Please report back, both successes and complete failures!

Also, in upcoming news, I am going to attempt to purchase and eat a “Big Russian.” I will put pictures up if I am able to procure and devour one. Ha ha ha. I’ll leave you hanging on what exactly it is - but rest assured, it is a food.
