Spooky music to tickle by...

[AffectionateDan]

Every now and then, the topic of good music to tickle to has come up, and with the Halloween spirit still lingering, I just heard J.S. Bach's "Toccata & Fuge in D minor" and had an epiphany. Now, *THIS* was music to tickle by! I'm sure the vast majority of you would recognize the music if you heard it, if not by the name of the piece. It's pretty famous, and has some fairly common association with the horror genre. Ya'll oughta grab a listen and judge for yourselves...

Brings a new definition to the phrase, "Music to my ears", huh?

Not bad, Dan. It's got some cool variables in speed and dynamics. A set of fingers could dance up and down a rib cage to those fast notes. 😀

I liked watching the visuals to that clip. It is remarkably similar to Cakewalk.

Great choice, Dan, but my pick would be "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg. It starts off softly and slowly and builds to a feverish intensity, like most tickle sessions. Note the plucking action of the musicians' fingers on their instruments. That's a great exercise to help tone up those tickling fingers!

Rachmaninoff

Nice Pick Dan! I love Bach, but this is the classical piece I would tickle someone to death to:

Also the Perfect Halloween Music

The first time I heard this cathedral organ arrangement was in the old 1954 Disney movie, "20,000 leagues under the sea". As Capt. Nemo played, you saw the Nautilus moving along submerged in the darkness of the sea. It really made it sound spooky.

though not spooky, O Fortuna from Carmina Burana sets a good "Am I in touble now?" mood for tickles.
