Musical malapropism of the year
The première of Stravinsky's ballet The rite of spring in 1913 has gone down in history as a succès de scandale par excellence. Given the brutality of the subject matter (ritual sacrifice in pagan Russia), reflected in the music and the dancing, it is not surprising it caused a riot.
I can imagine The right to swing (as one of my customers this morning believed it was called) would have the same effect, even in this day and age.
