<p>Ever notice this guy in Hieronymous Bosch&#8217;s &#8220;Garden of Earthly Delights&#8221;? An Oklahoma college student <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014/02/13/garden_of_earthly_delights_music_notation_on_figure_s_butt_transcribed_by.html" target="_blank">transcribed</a> the score printed on his ass and made a recording of it:</p>
<blockquote><p>So what does a 500-year-old “butt song from Hell” actually sound like? To my ears something like the creepy orgy scene soundtrack from <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120663/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">Eyes Wide Shut</a></i>—which, given the painting’s content, is oddly appropriate. But make up your own mind by <a href="http://chaoscontrolled123.tumblr.com/post/76305632587/luke-and-i-were-looking-at-hieronymus-boschs" target="_blank">listening here</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>A <a href="http://wellmanicuredman.tumblr.com/post/76381088917">choral arrangement</a> has already dropped.</p>
