Excellent pick-up line.
Bagger-Girl: You mean, like, Elton John or, like, Michael Bolton?Come on. You could have said, "Like, AC/DC or Van Halen?"
Michael Bolton??? Seriously????
Cashier-Guy: No....Michael Bolton??? Seriously????
Bagger-Girl: OH, or do you mean, like, Pachelbel?
And then the light comes on.
Cashier-Guy: Yeah, or like Beethoven.Bagger-Girl: Yeah, I like it okay. I used to play the piano.
Cashier-Guy: Yeah, me too. I can play, like, half of Fur Elise. You know the song Fur Elise?
Maintaining the spelling "Fur" because 1) that's how he said it and
2) I don't feel like searching for an umlaut.
Bagger-Girl: Oh yeah. That's cool. I used to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony. 2) I don't feel like searching for an umlaut.
The whole thing? On the piano? That is an accomplishment, indeed!
Cashier-Guy: You know what my favorite piece is? The Brandenburg Concerto.Points given for knowing of the Brandenburg Concerti.
Points deducted for not realizing that there are, in fact, six of them.

I wish they could have heard your thoughts. I would have paid to see that. Wait. Can we recreate the scene?
My thoughts, too. We were thinking in stereo. ;) It was a very special moment, Adriane. I wish you could have been there.
I think you have to deduct a few more points for his implication that he also played (one of) the Brandenburg Concerti on the piano.
But then you have to add 1/2 a point back for the guy hitting several of the Classical Top 40 hits in one conversation.
It's bad enough when music students have conversations entirely based on random rep... this is terrifying to the extreme!
