BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Beyond the Realms of Good Taste

Hey, anyone remember Battlestar Muzaktica? That super epic musical motif from the runaway hit sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica? Well, okay; maybe not "epic," per se, but it was definitely a major theme - the primary one, in fact, accompanying the usage of bathrooms in space... Well, one bathroom, actually. On one occasion. Shut up, okay?! I blame Bear for this. He included the piece in his BSG Songbook; claimed it was one of his favorites to play; and gave it the hilarious tempo marking, "Beyond the realms of good taste (quarter note = 120)." He also put out a call for creative interpretations of his work, so... Here you go, Bear: our Battlestar Muzaktica sketch... performed on steel drum and piano... in a bathroom... with more gaudiness and less taste by the minute. Be careful what you wish for!
Fun facts!
• Episode appearance in "Colonial Day" (S1E10), in which Roslin replaces Gray with Baltar as her running mate; the pivotal scene occurs in a bathroom aboard Cloud 9
• Keyboard audio overdubbed with a grand piano
• Tropes referenced: Left the Background Music On; All Just a Dream; "Space Paper" (BSG-specific)
• Additional inspiration from Joss Whedon's "Once More With Feeling" (Buffy S6E7)
