If Thomas Mulcair were moonlighting as a clown for children's birthday parties, what balloon animals would you ask him to make?

1. Contrabassoon (a vastly underrated instrument)
2. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Stairway to Heaven and Smoke On The Water (classic rock, a vastly overrated genre)
so, between vastly underrated and vastly overrated we should find a comfortable center)

Let's say Thomas Mulcair is performing in a band at Octoberfest. What instrument and piece would he be playing?
Accordion, the Chicken Dance.

Camille Saint-Saens' Symphony # 3
The organ, and specifically the 3rd movement, which he would start about 7 bars too soon and keep going into intermission.
Edited to amend... Lemme change that a bit. Start 7 bars too soon, but increase the tempo by about 1/5th thus finishing ahead of the orchestra, when he would launch into selections from Phantom of the Opera while cackling madly.

You spent some time thinking about that... It's too good for off the cuff. You're disqualified. Yeah, I know, we're promulgating rules as we go and applying them retroactively. Mahler and Prokofiev would have done that too, had the occasion arisen.

Mulcair would be conducting Prokofiev's "Dance of the Knights" from Romeo and Julliet. It's an ominous piece that would keep Harper awake at night in a cold sweat:

If you're looking for something that keeps Harper awake at night, I think some lovely Norwegian death metal would do the trick.

Composition: Also Sprach Zarathustra, by Strauss
Instrument: the timpani part, transposed to Uzi.

Another suggestion for Maestro Mulcair: "Mars: Bringer of War" from Holst's The Planets.

Or, on a film soundtrack night, he might lead the whistle chorus on the "Colonel Bogey March" in order to underscore his commitment to a tough defense policy.

Given that he is such a Beatles fan... I would suggest a tape loop of Yoko Ono's vocal tracks from Life With the Lions, volume turned to 11 of course.

I've always liked Yoko. Never liked Paul much.
