What is entertainment, really? Is it a sound? An image? An idea? What is it that animates those pleasure centers in our brain, that makes us reach for the nearest carton of popcorn and munch away contentedly as we enjoy the stimuli presented to us? What is it that will forestall the inescapable specter of death that haunts us all? Answering these questions, of course, is an eternal conundrum. Here at Noisey, we tend to resort to drowning them out with music.

But sometimes, there are better things than music, like this video of a bounce house that went airborne in Niagara County, New York, and the phrases uttered therein, which are a symphony unto themselves. It goes like this:

Movement 1 (Mezzo Forte): "Oh my god the bounce house! Is everybody accounted for?"

Movement 2 (Agitato) : "That's gonna hit the power line!"

Movement 3 (Andante) : [bounce house flies into power line with satisfying thud]

Movement 4 (Espressivo, forte): "Ohhhh shit!"
