Early testing has confirmed that playing the Darkworld Theme from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past when walking somewhere is, indeed, as silly as it sounds.
And yet, kind of fun - except for the part where you wish you had a sword to hack at the grass with, to see if money and health fall out1.
Which is precisely what a small group of men in bright orange vests were doing, at any rate. Or, presumably that's what they were doing; puzzlingly, next to their "men at work"2 sign, they had another that read "SLASHING AHEAD", leaving open the possibility that they were actually writing fanfic in the shade of their large yellow machines.
And let's pause here for a moment to picture them having a 'shipping war.
"Those pairings have been on display in your local planning department..."

kdsorceress, a game so fiendishly hard you'll be utterly amazed: You Have To Burn The Rope. There's a walkthrough in case you get stuck, and a credits song when you eventually solve all of the puzzles.
Also: I couldn't help but make that icon when I saw that panel of Wednesday's QC comic - and then it took but seconds before it occurred to me that out of context, it looks rather like they're about to do the dance from Thriller.
Mental images indeed.

- Health would be especially good, as opposed to my present arrangements - those arrangements being intermittent coughing fits, a veritable pharmacopeia arrayed on one of the shelves of my desk, and sinuses that could do with a "NO VACANCY" sign. Grrr, *coughcoughcoughittycough*, argh.
- Not to be confused with Men at Work. Or, for that matter, Men Without Hats3.
- It is entirely possible that 2 was just an excuse to link to the Safety Dance - for which I hadn't previously seen the film clip. It's... kind of odd, really, but at least avoids other potential pitfalls of filmclippery4.
- Like, say, a short, jocular dance from Peter Garrett - who moves about in much the same way when speaking in Parliament.5
- I'M OFF-TOPIC AND I HAVEN'T EVEN CLICKED 'POST' YET.6
- ...much like always, really.
