### Background.
Stephan Malinowski is a musician who wrote a music visualisation program. These visualisations are pretty. They can also visually show musical patterns hidden to untrained idiots like myself.
Visual visualisations visually visualise... blah!
A nice musical bit he visualised is the Frog Round. A "round" is a special kind of music where the same bit of music is played at different pitches, but each pitch is playing a different part of the same music from the other pitches. Don't ask me. Ask the Wikipedia - <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_a_queer_bird>;, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_(music)>;.
### The lyrics.
Anyway, the Frog Round (What a Queer Bird the Frog Are)'s lyrics:
```text
What a queer bird, the frog are
When he sit he stand (almost)
When he walk he fly (almost)
When he talk he cry (almost)
He ain't got no sense, hardly
He ain't got no tail, neither, hardly
He sit on what he ain't got hardly
```
### The visualisations.
- By Stephan Malinowski AKA Smalin AKA Musanim. He made at least five versions of this particular bit of music. There might be more.
