Stephen Spielberg decides he wants to make one of his huge blockbuster movies. It's called "Composers at War", and features an intergalactic battle between the giants of the classical (well you know what I mean- baroque and 20th Century are there too) music world. He thinks about his actor friends, and dials a number.
It's George Clooney. "Hey George," he says, "I'm doing this film, "Composers at War". What part do you want? You can be any composer you want!"
George thinks for a second. "You know what, I have always loved Schubert. He was well hot when he was younger. I'd like to be Schubert."
Stephen Spielberg notes this down. He calls up more of his friends - Macaulay Culkin is cast as Mozart, due to the fact he was a child prodigy (lol), Johnny Depp as Stravinsky as he's just plain odd, and Sir Ian McKellan as Haydn.
Finally, he dials the number of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He does his spiel, and asks Arnie what part he'd like to pay.
Arnie thinks for a second. He then says, ponderously,
"I'll be Bach."
