Reminds me of the well-advertised contest between Cadbury's Fruit and Nut, and Cadbury's Whole Nut, in the '60s....

As a tribute I wouldn’t really say it’s ironic. As a protest possibly. So it depends on the individuals buying the music

I still don’t think so because people who buy it this week will be showing their enthusiasm for the European Union, not for Beethoven
