A runner winding down with Pink Floyd's 23-minute epic 'Echoes' was asked by his wife whether he was listening to Phantom of the Opera. The comparison, shared online, highlights how the track's slow build and dramatic organ-like swells evoke Andrew Lloyd Webber's theatrical style. Music fans have long noted the resemblance between the two works, making the mix-up an easy joke to land.
Why now: The long-observed similarity between Echoes and the Phantom of the Opera theme makes the mix-up a relatable and funny anecdote.
