Funny you should mention this.

My college roommate and I took a trip to LA one summer to visit his girlfriend. She got a girl for me and we did Disneyland. We rode the Haunted Mansion ride, my date and me in one car and my roomate and his GF in another a few cars back.

At one point on the ride, you leave the mansion and enter a cemetery, first passing under the branch of a dead tree where a black bird (raven?) is sitting. It bends forward and squawks at you. Then you go past several tombstones and ghosts, finally coming to a Dixieland band.

Which is when the ride stopped.

We sat there for 10-15 minutes, listening to that asterisk-pound-ampersand band play the same tune over and over. Finally the ride started up again and we got out of there.

When I complained to my roommate, he looked at me with disdain. "You were lucky," he said. "You got 10-15 minutes of Dixieland jazz. We were stuck under that stupid bird!"

This is a good question. Scaramouche?
