Charlie Brown Piano Outro: It's a reference to...

[aschall]

OK. i see everyone wondering what that CB piano outro is all about. i can clear everything up. i have a few points to make:

1) I am sure its for CB, NOT for life is for living. i went to the ucla concert and they played CB and then ETIAW imediately after (for the jimmy kimmel show) Chris played that same outro and it lead right into ETIAW, so its definately apart of CB

2) I grew up in the USA, and in my house the entire family gathered to watch the classic Charlie Brown Christmas Special on television every year. That same outro Chris plays is the theme song for the show. Charlie Brown is so iconic, i dont know how none of u guys knew about it

if i figure out how, i will put a youtube vid up to prove it

[Abracadabra]

Good.

Every Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas we do the same thing. I'm pretty sure that outro isn't Linus and Lucy. Actually I know it isn't.

is this the theme song you were talking about?...cause this is the only song from the Charlie Brown christmas special that sounds somewhat similar to the outro

[foxeh]

It's obvious now that the outro is not from "Life is for Living" because even in the Studio Version(?) you can hear the Piano at the end.

Yup. That would be the song. If you listen closely, the way they sing 'Christmas time is here' has the same note sequence as the piano outro in CB.

wow another thread for something we already knew .___."
so redundant...

[strikie]

imagine Eno showing the band this for inspiration :lol:

[QuestionsOfScience]

I say coincidence, the chords are completely different and the key's different...although the rhythm is the same.
nah I guess they did take it and changed it to suit the song (key goes without saying).

:nod:

[Abracadabra]

Duh, creating unnecessary threads is the newest craze here on forum. Don't be left behind and go make one. Say, the one where we discuss how awful ETIAW is...or something like that.

[The Final Track]

Or, say, the 15 ones discussing how good ETIAW is.

[princesanji]

How about one revealing that MX means Mylo Xyloto? >_<

I'm 49 and watched as a child growing up, if you are from the US everyone should have understood Chris's outro was his little take on the "Charlie Brown" special.:) here's the intrumental without the words.

I think the outro would lead perfectly into Postcards.

I think it would lead perfectly into Life Is For Living, actually :wink3::wink3:

"yep, yep, Yep, YEP, YUP, YUP, YOUP!" ~Chris during this one performance of Charlie Brown

Apologies if this has been picked up on already. But in a similar fashion to finding out the 'new LIFL' intro is actually part of a new song (Charlie Brown), what about the new GPASUYF intro? Could that also be part of a new song do you think?

Again, sorry if there's a thread I've missed or anything :)

Nah that is just a new live version of the song!

Cool, case closed then haha ;)

But yeah the snippets of the studio 'Charlie Brown' sound great and the piano outro/hidden track sounds brilliant.
