Speaking of musical notes, it's well known that Johann Sebastian Bach (and probably his kids too) did some musical variations on his name, using the four notes B-A-C-H.
How, you might ask....
In the German notation system, the keys A C D E F and G are where we'd expect them (using a piano keyboard, for example). BUT, H is used for what we call B, and B flat is B. The other sharps and flats all have other names as well:

C# is Cis
D flat is Des (generally assumed to be the same note)
D# is Dis
E flat is Es
F# is Fis
G flat is Ges
G# is Gis
A flat is As
A# is Ais (pronounced A-is)

1780 - Binga bunga booga

A perfect A note is achieved at EXACTLY 440 Hertz (and by international standard it's assumed that the surrounding air temperature is 20 degrees C, or 68 degrees F). No more, no less.

In contrast, middle C is approximated at 264 Hertz usually, but would be more exact at 261.63 Hertz.
