Watch this reinterpretation (by game music composer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jackwall.net\/press.html\">Jack Wall<\/a> of  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.videogameslive.com\/index.php?s=ourteam\">videogameslive<\/a>) of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ride_of_the_Valkyries\">Wagners &#8220;Ritt der Walk&uuml;re&#8221;<\/a> which comes a little after the pong game in this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JVHGy9XEF9I\">youtube video<\/a>. (Original soundtrack <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/etext\/10177\">here<\/a>). His interpretation of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valkyries\">valkyries<\/a> gains much laughter in the video,  however I can imagine that this performance may be  a terrible <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sacrilege\">sakrilege<\/a> for some  <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Category:Wagnerites\">Wagnerites<\/a>&#8230;..:-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>no more water this time.
