    Sir Reggie;
    I'm the chap that called you a one-hit wonder in Wikipedia (working to flesh out their chap-hop section, being one of their chief editors on steampunk music). I may now have to revisit that paragraph. And gladly so! (The "one-hit-wonder" phrase has already been redacted.)
    Best in your continued endeavors!

    Man the 5 fingers on his right (our left) hand at 2:14 still messes with my brain to this day. I constantly go back in the video and count every single finger in almost every frame. Now it's become a routine to look every few months to make sure I'm not going mad because it just pops in my head (I blame the song for being so catchy)

      That is indeed the "Beautiful Fragment" of the Difference Engine.
      (To answer HaphazardDisastard's question about how I obtained it, to which for some reason I cannot reply directly, I was attending a dinner party at Mr. Babbage's house, and I had arranged for a group of street musicians to begin performing outside during the main course. As he rushed out of doors to vent his spleen at them, street musicians being in his estimation the lowest class of life-form, I spirited it out the servants' entrance and into a waiting hansom cab.
      Though he never discovered my subterfuge, I nevertheless became _persona non grata_ with him shortly thereafter, when he learned of my occasional dabbling in the Euterpean arts.)
