  Harry Hill has a new show on YouTube, and on the first episode he had on the comedian Stewart Lee. At one point, SL mentions John Cage's Water Walk in relation to a comedic bit that Harry had performed. Curious to see what this was, and the link to HH's comedy, I headed to YouTube where you can see John Cage himself performing Water Walk. Then you start watching other people perform Water Walk on YouTube and before you know it, you are comparing different cover versions of Water Walk, a piece that involves, amongst its elements, putting a vibrating fish toy inside a piano, dropping ice in a glass, and pushing radios off a table. In this version, the radios are playing Is This The Way To Amarillo.
