Bonus points if it’s the funniest instrument possible for that particular song. Singing is an instrument for the purposes of this post, idk what the actual musician consensus is on if vocals are an instrument or something else.

Since you took the obviously correct answer of yakety sax, I'd say Ballroom Blitz.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Good choice! Wayne approves

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Getting it out of the way early, “Yakety Sax”.

Assuming I knew how, it would sound completely absurd to try and throat sing yakety sax.

Since you took the obviously correct answer of yakety sax, Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting

There are many correct answers as this thread shows! I just didn’t want everyone to say the same thing and make it boring to read

off topic but wow that BP oil ad really was topical. It's kind of incredible how oil companies are still pulling this shit 18 years later

Lmao, that song rules. Offbeat horns are the best.

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Holy damn that is sick as hell I need to play one of these before I die

ROLLIN' STONES! STREET FIGHTIN' MAN! G . . . . 7!

Uh, you just hit G-8.

"If you like Piña Coladas . . ."

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have no clue what that means but I like the energy

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's from an old Chris Farley movie

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

That explains the energy. Shrek would have been a very different film if they’d had him in it.

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

More like a Norm McDonald movie but Chris Farley has a great small role in it. Dirty Work

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

For some reason I thought it was Tommy Boy.

Jurassic park theme on a melodica

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Free Bird, only if I can ensure the all-out brawl starts right on the solo.

"Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas... on a medieval bumbulum

The Super Mario invincible star music as one guy starts taking out a bunch of people, followed by the death music when he gets hit in the back of the head with a chair/bottle.

In this fantasy I'm vocals in a slam band and since slam dancing is really silly i don't think I'd notice if it was an actual brawl.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What’s slam? I’m out of touch

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Subgenre of brutal death metal that emphasizes the "djun djun djun" and "reeee ee ee eeeee" to the max. Like defeated sanity or dying fetus

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

~~Ballroom Blitz.~~ Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee, since someone took Ballroom Blitz already.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

There's some movie where this happens but it's Wuxia tavern and the piano player has a zither or dulcimer or something, so he starts dulcimering realy fast but it's silly becaus eitk4 not a dramatic insturment.

[–] ComradeSpahija@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Well I know for a fact that regardless of the song my bandmates and I will take advantage of the fact that everybody is distracted to hide the lick in as much of the song as possible.
