Funny lines

I had a friend who played Schumann's Kinderszenen.  I thought it was really expressive.

Another friend of mine said, "dude, her Kinderszenen sounds like child abuse."  I disagreed but I thought it was funny. 

This same friend said Rene Fleming's coloratura sounds like she's sprinting the hundred-meter in high heels.

I have heard someone refer to another person in a practice room as "raping" the music.  "Man, sounds like he's raping that piece of music in there."

I find it both kind of low taste but also can't help laughing a bit when I try to think of what sounds and playing techniques it takes to get someone to comment that way.

Some membhaz may equate that to some very intense music making.  trruu
