@DrTemperTantrum @JoyceCarolOates When I first saw this - probably at about 14yrs old in 1989, I remember thinking it was captivating and weird but not particularly good or funny.
It's now 2024 and I'm almost 49... and... I find it inspiring.
@DrTemperTantrum @JoyceCarolOates The effort employed for this gag is palpable. From "Hey, I have a funny idea" to the execution of this collaboration...
...just as much or even more of the humor comes from the horn lines, choreography, and backing vocals as Martin's performance.

I know, it's been a while. That was an obtuse and oversimplified statement. What I was really thinking about at that moment in terms of chords is :
ii + I is (V7) ...or (V13add11 no 3) So: 2 + 1 = 5 sus4 = DFACEG
@ambulance2doc @AaronGoodman33 Yes. There was a very short time in my life when I had this memorized and could play through it...somewhat passably. Love Beethoven, but I have songs to write and gigs to play!
