Well, the movie "Cannibal: The Musical" it's the first movie done by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (creators of South Park) and after reading all the stuff on theory's and modes I just had to post this, it's quite funny. Here's the clip the argument refers to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlGUwb2R5sQ&feature=PlayList&p=F77271626B7B2DAC&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=91
Cabazon: I agree. [shoves Nutter] Nutter, you were singing in the wrong key!
Nutter: No I wasn't! It was Loutzenheizer! I was singing in E flat minor
Cabazon: The song's in F sharp major!
Bell: I think they're the same thing. I mean, E flat is the relative minor of F sharp.
Cabazon: No it isn't! The relative minor is three half tones UP from the major, not DOWN!
Noon: No, it's three down, like A is the relative minor of C major. [Packer walks off in the background]
Loutzenheizer: But isn't A sharp in C major?
Bell: Wait, are you singing mixolydian scales or something?
Cabazon: A sharp is tonic to C major! It's the 6!
Humphrey: No it isn't!
Swan: Well, it'd be like a raised thirteenth if anything.
Cabazon: [shakes his head] Oh well, you guys are just a bunch of loser diggers anyhow. [behind him, Packer looks around the small camp]
Humphrey: Oh, see? You know we're right.

In Space, no one can hear me sing!

I think I've seen similar conversations :shock: . . . numerous times. :|

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
