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 9 points 1 year ago

Good choice! Wayne approves

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year 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.

Henry Fillmore’s The Circus Bee on this bad boy

Or maybe just whatever song they are playing lol

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Uh, you just hit G-8.

"If you like Piña Coladas . . ."

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

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

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's from an old Chris Farley movie

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

For some reason I thought it was Tommy Boy.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jurassic park theme on a melodica

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Amazing combo

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago

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.

99 Red Balloons cuz I think it would be funny

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

99 left haymakers

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

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 1 year ago (1 children)

What’s slam? I’m out of touch

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Pokémon music in a bar brawl? Very yakuza

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
