Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

Nope , pretty sure its the key of A.. since theres a G sharp in there and D doesnt have the G sharp.

(A and D are very simalar, only one note difference so..)

Ya.. its A.
