Pink Floyd's Echoes Mistaken for Phantom of the Opera
Original: That feeling when you’re playing Pink Floyd’s Echoes as your post-run chill out and your wife is like “uh, is that Phant
A runner put on Pink Floyd's 23-minute track Echoes to unwind after exercising, only for their wife to ask whether it was Phantom of the Opera. The mix-up highlights the similarity between the song's atmospheric organ and synthesiser swells and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical stylings, a comparison long debated by fans since both pieces emerged in the early 1970s.
Why now: The anecdote plays on the long-running debate over the resemblance between Echoes and the Phantom of the Opera theme.
