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 11 months ago

Good choice! Wayne approves

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months 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.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

Henry Fillmore’s The Circus Bee on this bad boy

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

I need this song played on one of these at my funeral

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

Uh, you just hit G-8.

"If you like Piña Coladas . . ."

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

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's from an old Chris Farley movie

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

For some reason I thought it was Tommy Boy.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

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

Jurassic park theme on a melodica

Amazing combo

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

I look at the rest of the band and shrug while mouthing "Let's Have A War?"

And then we play Let's Have A War.

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 11 months ago (1 children)

What’s slam? I’m out of touch

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months 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

[–] ComradeSpahija@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 11 months 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.

Pokémon music in a bar brawl? Very yakuza
