Oh Heidi! I LOVE the Beethoven's Wig Series! At our Christmas Concert one of the kids played Beethoven's 5th and another kid wore a huge white wig we found at Party City to introduce the piece. It was a riot! Thanks for posting that first video. I'd never seen that one before. Adding it to my playlist right now.
