Ooh I was wondering if there was a link between I'm just Ken and Ghenghis Khan by Miike Snow, maybe GK was an inspiration?

Whoomp there he is: Andrew Wyatt, singer/songwriter for Miike Snow and songwriter/producer for the Barbie soundtrack and Barbie the album.

Everyone say thank you Mr Wyatt for the bangers with great dance routines.

Make a sitcom about ghengis Khan, let it sit for ten years, then do a young-sheldon-style reboot where ghengis is a child, call it "baby steppes"

The House of Wisdom

I know people get annoyed about the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, but I think they should also be upset about what the Mongols did to the House of Wisdom.

Founded in the late 8th century, also known as the Islamic Golden Age, the House of Wisdom was a public library, observatory and academy located in what is now Baghdad, Iraq. There were rare books and Arabic poems, and plenty of translations of texts from Arabic, Syriac, Chinese, Sanskrit and Greek. Research was conducted and scholars had access to information from India, Greece and Persia. Scholars could study astronomy, maths, medicine, science and philosophy. Some of the astronomers worked on improving the astrolabe, which was used by Muslims to find Mecca and could also help travellers plan their journeys.

The House of Wisdom was in Baghdad, which at the time was the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. This meant that plenty of people, including scholars, would visit the city. Some notable examples are al-Jahiz (who lived to be 89, and apparently died when a stack of books fell on him); al-Kindi (the father of Arab philosophy) and al-Ghazali (a Mujaddid who wrote "The Incoherence of Philosphers"). al-Jahiz taught at the university and wrote there. In one of his books he discusses evolution and argued that dogs, wolves, foxes etc probably shared a common ancestor with four legs and a tail. One scholar, al-Ma-mun, put together the most detailed map of the Earth (for its time - it looks like North Africa, Europe and parts of Asia to me. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/486177722268804983/ ).

The Mongols destroyed the House of Wisdom in 1258 when they sieged the city. Hulegn, the grandson of Ghengis Khan, attacked the city and destroyed hospitals, mosques and libraries. The attackers threw all of the books into the Tigris river. Legend says that for days afterwards the river water was turned black with ink and red with blood.

I will never not love seeing hard as fuck lines pop up in unexpected places, but I have to also appreciate the ones that are completely expected, like in this alt-history video where the Mongols Just Kept Going and sacked Rome

Just look at what they said before executing the Pope.

Sometimes a music video makes the song. I adore Miike Snow but if you listen to this AND watch the video it will clinch it.

From Vincent to Ghengis

Today I found myself humming Miike Snow's "Ghengis Khan", which I tend to do from time to time. But much to my surprise, I found myself asked by my significant other why I hum the melody of "Vincent", that by now 40 years old short film masterpiece by Tim Burton.

And gosh, she's right! There is a striking semblance to both melodies. But please, go hear for yourselves. Firstly, "Vincent" (1982), by Tim Burton, with music by Ken Hilton. Listen closely to the first tunes:

And secondly, the first lines of "Ghengis Khan" (2016), by Miike Snow. Once more, listen closely, tis time to the first lines of the song:

Striking resemblance, don't you think? And if you ask me, it's pure coincidence, but a charming one. There might even be some sweet piece of music theory involved, but so far I did not find the time to delve into this rabbit hole.

Ah, and are you ready for a little encore? There's been a silly little commercial by the deodorant manufacturer Axe, about an eunuch taking a shower. There will be q u i t e some silliness, but more importantly, our eunuch friend will lilt a certain tune:

The best thing about this is that the commercial seems to have aired first during the late nineties (it's a bit hard to pin down, though). So we have the some melody, returning every 17 years or so, in entirely different contexts. A lovely piece of music mythology, isn't it? And we only have to wait eleven more years for its next incarnation!
