A series of humorous variations on the birthday tune by a guy called Claus Dieter-Ludwig. Here's some info about each individual variation:
1 "Andante festivo et culinario". It's calm and everything BUT, if you're a bit knowledgeable about how music works, you'll notice that the harmonies used are FUNKY as hell.
2 "Marcia marsala e mozarella". A rag-time-esque military march. I really like the bit when the hands crosses and the right hand plays the tune in the bass ^_^
3 "Lento lasagne e lambrusco" Funeral march. Complete with timpani rolls.
4 "Valse vongole e vaniglia " A Viennese Waltz!
5 "Tango tartufo et tagliatelli" Yeah. Have a guess.
