So much Joy from evreyone! Bring tears to my eyes every time I watch this!

Actually, it’s a sarod, not a sitar.

@@guitsynthcw Thank you for the correction! 👍

mostly its when the Indian musicians adapt the rules of western melody and harmony...established by Bach, and adapted by the Africans and Scots Irish in USA in this case...

They're so good, they don't need no stinkin' rules. ;) Love this!

And this is why nobody ever invites Eyton to parties.

@@eytonshalom Unfortunately, that's right. Additionally though, the amazing impact of the not too big island in the Caribbeans should also not be omitted. Here's at 2:25 and butchered a bit ;p but it's generally everywhere.

Obviously never saw toto live then!

...every one is going to die...

Born To Meme, that man. ...I hope he has that tattooed somewhere.

Most of these in the video are from the east end

Well that's weird. I thought I'd never noticed that before but I'd somehow already liked your comment... 🤯

that's "Sarod"

Ahhh humanity has done many a great thing. Made many advances; discover the microscopic universe, map the human genome, master the skies, create a 3D map of the planet that is constantly changing, harness the power of the atom itself. Landed men on the Moon. None of this, none of it compares to the day man stuck a pair of goggle eyes on a green sock and gave birth to the homunculi that is Kermit the frog.

Bill could have transitioned to muppet and it wouldn’t have caused a ripple!

He's Minnie Crun's bald headed man with hair on. (Ex the Goons, Spike Milligan, or am I the only one still to remember ?).

@@philattlee1 Henreeeeeeeee ! 😉

@@andypandywalters Oh thanks, so I'm not the oldest person in the world.

ALL ways makes me laugh , and cry . !!! .

First time seeing it, and I have the biggest grin right now. So dope

We watch it regularly; keep meaning to get Tinselworm on DVD, not done it yet, no idea why..!

Yeah dont know how many times i ´ve watched this alvays true bliss!

You are a genius!!!

That doesn't curry favour with me.

Korma Chameleon? Poppadom Preach? Or maybe Elton John's Tiny Dhansak?

Or Sitar Child - tribute to level 42

I Ghorupta Singh.

yep, we don't need politicians or diplomacy, just some musicians with an open mind

That’s an oversimplification, the uses of music are so diverse it could be seen as a spectrum

With you here. This is already a joy to listen to, but watching the sheer enjoyment on the face of both him and Bill makes this a true delight to watch.

Big beaming smile! Irresistible

Thanks for supplying his name, amazing talent

Me too he is so talented and beautiful, thank for mentioning his name! I need more of his talents gracing my ears!!!

The skill on show is rediculous. People pay thousands to see a bunch of clapped out musicians play songs heard 1000000's of times (Freebird! Sandman!) when an aging surrealist comedian can whip together an ensamble piece of entertainment like this played for goofs, but also knocks your socks off. I'd go to a Judas Priest, or Black Sabbath (One last time we mean it, totally final) concert if Bill Bailey was event organiser and Compare.

Nope. Original is best.

@Joe Black you can't beat the original, but out of all the covers this is the best.

Have a listen/watch of the Toy Dolls doing duelling banjos (its on KZfaq). They're both pretty close.

Love esp. the part where it's for their own protection!

I'll hold them down

Anyone who doesn't love Bill, I feel sorry for. Don't lock them up though, they'll just make more tax laws and extend the 'rona lock downs.

@@Chrisamic Well perhaps we can compromise and just do medical experiments on them. Perhaps establishing the elastic limits of the human scrotum?

@@davidpowell3691 Destructive testing at its finest LOL

Exactly.

I concur

He just got one step closer

Lol I was just thinking that!

As two men once said 'Be excellent to each other.'

Soumik is actually playing a sarod, not a sitar…. The title is misleading. Absolutely brilliant though!

Thank you I thought it was a Sitar. I am wiser now.

I did, I cried with laughter

Paul Walters The frisson of pure joy when you get to participate in something spontaneous and collaborative and bloody *good*. You can see it in their faces, it's so great.

@@didderjade Yeah, the rehearsals must have been great 😬

It's bloody brilliant. Encapsulating the UK in one segment. Diverse blend of cultures and styles coming together to make a medley and having a damed laugh as you do it. :)

You can tell Bailey is a nice guy though, and obviously they've rehearsed this/jammed together many times.

@@johnmartinez7440 I think they're happy that Bill genuinely loves and respects their music and culture, and that he's not just using it for a cheap gag. Bill just seems to love music, full stop. There's a connection between them that comes from simply enjoying music.

Sam Ashton being able to go down to the corner shop on Christmas Day and buy more beer

Yeah because sitar’s are perfectly British.

D.B. I think he was commenting on the multiculturalism of modern Britain

@@humphrey4976 He knew that. He's just being a cockwomble.

@@samshorto5433: Under Ursula LeGuin's 'Rule of Names', 'cockwomble' is an absolute winner & by fortunate extension, a perfect collective noun for the Department of Work & Pensions . . .

*got to

This should have not been a hardship.

The only thing I would laugh at is bill Baileys face he looks at least 70 he must use the computer to much
