Zum Thema Musik und deren Wert habe ich schöne Fundstellen aus den Oz-Büchern. Zunächst ein Dialog zwischen einem Grammophon und der Stoffpuppe Scraps, beide durch einen Zauber lebendig geworden, wo es um den Umgang mit klassischer Musik geht. Hat was vom Kaiser mit den neuen Kleidern:
Später bekommt auch die Populärmusik ihr Fett weg, und zwar in folgendem Dialog zwischen dem bereits bekannten lebendigen Grammophon und dem Shaggy Man, einer Art Landstreicher, als die beiden das erste Mal aufeinandertreffen:Zitat von The Patchwork Girl of Oz:"The only record I have with me," explained the phonograph, "is one the Magician attached just before we had our quarrel. It's a highly classical composition."
"A what?" inquired Scraps.
"It is classical music, and is considered the best and most puzzling ever manufactured. You're supposed to like it, whether you do or not, and if you don't, the proper thing is to look as if you did. Understand?"
"Not in the least," said Scraps.
Erschienen 1914! Nahm quasi Dieter Bohlen vorweg..."Tell me, Phony <Spitzname des Grammophons>, what is this record like, which you say you have on tap?"
"It's a popular song, sir. In all civilized lands the common people have gone wild over it."
"Makes civilized folks wild folks, eh? Then it's dangerous."
"Wild with joy, I mean," explained the phonograph. "Listen. This song will prove a rare treat to you, I know. It made the author rich—for an author. It is called 'My Lulu.'"
Then the phonograph began to play. A strain of odd, jerky sounds was followed by these words, sung by a man through his nose with great vigor of expression:
"Ah wants mah Lulu, mah coal-black Lulu;
Ah wants mah loo-loo, loo-loo, loo-loo, Lu!
Ah loves mah Lulu, mah coal-black Lulu,
There ain't nobody else loves loo-loo, Lu!"
