that was entertaining, but I still don't know whata "Rondo" is. :P

Its the form of the music... theme one, theme two, theme one, theme... oh hell I'll use the letters. Say the first theme is "A", the second would be "B", so on. A rondo always begins and ends with A. So it looks something like this:
ABABA or ABACABA or ABACADA etc.
Lots of potential variation. But always AsomethingAsomethingAsomethingA...

...so I think the idea with the video is to watch for repeated look alike image thingers. XD

You know, it just struck me: could it be said that every song ever written with verses and a chorus/refrain is a rondo???

<-- the pop/classical melding finally hits the "music theory" part of my brain
