Just something I thought of while watching the episode.

Oh I’m sure there’s plenty of crazy stuff out there. I just absolutely adore that song and the topic made it relevant to share.
Yeah, I know. That hasn’t stopped some people from trying.

@Japanese Teeth
Those are literally impossible to play; basically Finnegan’s Wake in musical score form.
@Keith Mowz
That’s nothing. If you want crazy measures, I recommend Bela Bartok. ‘I accidentally the time’ is kind of his thing.
Edited
I hear if you successfully play that, it summons an Old One.
One of my absolute favorite songs is this piece
13/8 makes for a nice time signature.
I don’t think musical compositions are supposed to look like faces.
Yeah, I thought it looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure if that was actually it. Here’s another Stump piece:
The demotivator above attributed to Aphex Twin is actually the Death March.
Here’s another work in a similar vein:
Well, I can’t really say that it’s a general rule for the genre. Usually when they’re officially transcribed there are measures, but at points every measure will literally be written in a different time signature, so functionally speaking the song doesn’t really have one. And they’re weird time signatures, too. Like there’s one bit in Dream Theater’s Metropolis, Pt. 1 where they switch between 5/16, 7/16, 3/16, literally every measure. And I didn’t even know that 3/14 time was a thing until I tried to learn to play Learning to Breathe.
But the most extreme one is probably their instrumental Dance of Eternity. It changes time signatures an average of every three-and-a-half seconds over the course of six minutes of music. In this video a guy beatboxes through the song, holding up flashcards for every time the rhythm changes.
TL;DR prog rock is freaking insane.
Also note that I don’t really have any formal musical training and I kinda suck at theory, so I could just be blowing hot air.
You try to play that, you’ll end up a funny little man in an asylum, licking windows, hoping you could come to daddy so he could make everything alright.
Huh. I’m a classically trained pianist so I didn’t know that. Thanks, Teeth-sama.
Heh, I actually have a book full of Dream Theater keyboard music. That stuff is insane. I can play precisely one of those songs, and it’s the easiest one in the book.

The lack of measures is definitely a prog thing. They tend to change rhythm so often that there’s no point in having measures since they’ll change so often anyway. But yeah, it was probably either made for the show or taken from some joke piece. I’m surprised they didn’t use the infamous “Aire and Death waltz”.
Yes makes me that happy too, especially when intoxicated
No, thats metal
So you destroyed someone’s piano legally? That’s brutal.
Awww, I had to go to forklift school and everything!
You’re making it too easy.
No time signature or tempo either.
It has no measure lines or dynamics so most likely created for the show. The grand staff and pedal marks suggest it’s for piano.
