The Dow Piano

Over at CNNMoney.com, Bard Edlund has something called the Dow Piano.  He has translated the Dow industrial average into music - "Using a five-note scale spanning three octaves, pitch is determined by each day’s closing level."  One would have to wonder what songs the Dow would play:


"Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)" performed by Travis Tritt
"Never Gonna Be Your Fool Again" performed by Deanna Cox
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" performed by Simon & Garfunkle
"I Will Survive" performed by Gloria Gaynor
"Here Comes the Rain Again" performed by the Eurthymics


Or maybe just some funeral dirge.


But, then again perhaps it is not the Dow itself that needs the sad songs.  Maybe what Mr. Edlund should have created was some sort of Wall Street-ers musical montage.  It would definitely have to include "Cheater, Cheater" performed by Joey + Rory.
