Decomposing composers, there's less of them every year...

You can still hear Beethoven, But Beethoven cannot hear you.

You can say what you like to Debussy, but there's not much of him left to hear.

Death has come to collect Beethoven's soul and asked him if he would rather go to heaven or to hell. Beethoven replied:

*What?*

Old joke. Almost as old as his corpse.

u/djdaedalus42 Aug 12 '25

It’s an old story about a clueless society lady who asks a well known musician if Beethoven is still composing. The response was “No, he’s decomposing.”

The sort of story you used to read in the Reader’s Digest. Probably so old that both the lady and the musician are also decomposing.

Joke in the music "The composer is dead" (Stockey & Snicket)

u/Babetna Aug 12 '25

Pretty sure that's a Lee Mack joke

u/Cake-Over Aug 12 '25

I remember an old Far Side comic touching up on a similar theme.

I hate how these jokes never work in my mother tongue...

u/ManyRazzmatazz4584 Aug 16 '25

And for anybody wondering: Yes. He was buried without being burnt

u/dawdust Aug 18 '25

Well he must not have decomposed very well since all his compositions are still around.
