The Office: Dwight's Recorder Skills and the True Meaning of 'Green Sleeves'
In the conference room, Dwight entertains the kids by playing the recorder, while also displaying craft materials. It turns out Rain really did play the recorder in the show, as he is proficient in it. He even played the bassoon in high school. One of the songs Rain plays is 'Green Sleeves,' which is an English ballad about the beheading of Anne Boleyn. There are different interpretations of the lyrics, with one suggesting that Lady Green Sleeves was promiscuous. This revelation justifies Angela's remark about green being 'horish,' and the narrator is impressed with the deep diving internet research to confirm a reference from The Office.
