My grandma would definitely get the hoveround circle pit going

I loose my shit...intoxicated....ejected

Torn between "WTF did I get spiked" and "I didn't realise they'd brought back Punk'd, where's Kutcher hiding"

The best things are when it is both.

2:55 I said out loud “oh, it’s just a super high quality shitpost”

its through the fire and flames

It almost seems like it was written for the accordion.

a Through the Fire and Flames cover is never a shitpost my friend

Bayan, to be precise

LOL

Obviously they figured out how to watercool an accordion. That's the most logical answer I can come up with...😂

@@gotby nah these aren't bayans. These are PIGINI accordions under the name of the well known accordionist Lasse Pihlajamaa, the black model is called "Revontuli" and the white is a "Stage Star Professional Cassotto"

Sorry, can you explain what that is? 😅

lmao the second i heard it i knew i'd find the comment about it

@@enraikow6109 It's a meme in the jazz community (search "mario kart lick jazz", i'm sure many examples will pop up)

Oh ffs you're right

I was sorta zoning out "this is another by the book cover" until I heard that. They added in so many nice touches to make the song their own. It's greatly appreciated

nah. tiktok is for the purest of pure talent "flippy like a flippagram"

And cat videos.

One of many good things it should be for. :)

I agree, but also don't. KZfaq should be for having fun and giving your viewers a good time, not "how do I get more subscribers?"

Probably gotta show it to Weird Al too. I'm sure he'd absolutely flip for such an amazing accordion showcase

Yeah, Herman Li would be blown away by this.

@Matthew Brooks Get Herman Li and Weird Al to do a duet to this.

@@genericnamehere7602 oh fuck. yes pls!

HERMAN WHERE YOU AT BOIIII??

I'm pretty sure the accordian is the hardest looking instrument to play.

Wait, there's a flute cover? Do you mean the Algal cover, which is awesome and in style (medieval/bard whatever), but has absolutely nothing to do with the original's technicality, if that's a word (not a native speaker). Sure, there's "solos", but in the original meaning (solo as in single instrument takes the lead), which is super on point for what he's doing! Again - really really good cover for a XVI century tavern band. Buuuuut... not "solos" as in metal. These guys play metal! The solos are metal solos!

@@--Lam nope, I think they're referring to this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qt-ErcJeqreziHk.html

Also loved their imitation of the guitar string breaking at the end of this song.

@@--Lam Look up the flute/recorder cover by Alejandro. There is the original version from 12 years ago and a more recent remastered version.

There is! And it's called the dragon flute.

Legit after the first 30 seconds messaged my lady and said "Im learning how to play the accordion" no hesitation she said no, looks like Im going to be the most eligible bachelor on next season of accordion master

*laughs in Weird Al*

Guess who never heard of Weird Al before...

​@@Ni_ghtmareShould have showed her then finger movements. She'd have begged you to learn.

@@fr3tn0iz you did not just say that

Hello from 2023

It certainly deserves that much

All hail the algorithm

The wave is coming

It's totally something he'd be down for, guaranteed. Would love to see it become a reality 🤞

The man opened up the medium for artists such as these, the man deserves a Grammy Oh wait he's won 5 and been nominated 8 times, the man's an inspiration which is why they are probably parodying this song in the first place

That would be awful

I was going to say! Someone call him for a colab!

@@cotadelgadohectorernesto9969 But in a good way, though. 🤣

its always be one of folk metal intruments.. what are you talking about

Check out Arkona and Kalevala, they use accordion in their folk metal sound, and it’s fucking awesome.

Anything can be metal if you try hard enough. Look at Violens

First time this sentence has ever been uttered in history.

@@gamingch4538 Ewww, folk metal :barf:

I bet you haven't watch the recorder cover of TTFAF

From Algal the Bard? Totally different kind of skill but also excellent. With his I like how it's totally rearranged and is even in a different time signature.

It used to be my job to play humppa, often with an accordionist ... Polka, humppa, masurka and other genres are nothing but accordion shred! Feels like jazz, 'the song' exists as a platform of changes for the w***er to wan-solo over.... and over, and over, and over and over.

@@yoshimitsu5537 I assume raven is talking about the 12 year old cover from Alejandro Sayago; which Herman Li also reacted to. Alejandro also has a 2021 version on his channel.

For real

The man to answer how do you shred on accordion is Weird Al, but you already knew that 😅

I laughed about your slapping comparison! 😅

As explained by Herman Li, it's the 'Pacman noise'.

Wait will smith was 9 months ago da fuq?

Bwahahah! 😂

@@lucarinaldichini324 this mf laughing like bowser 💀

And I wonder how long did it take to learn the damn thing! That's what I want to know! As a kid, I tried to learn to play the accordion, the kid in the neighbour tried to teach me. He had no formal training at all, just a natural talent learned from his father. He told me, that the thing that your left hand (alternating bass line) does is called "humpattaa", or trying to miserably translate it to English, "to humppa". I never learned that, and my learning stopped after getting the first few bars of My Bonni Lies Over The Ocean down. But these guys go note to note on an extra fast metal song and still they "humpattaa" too! I'm just laughing here in awe, I just can't handle this awesomeness! And the callbacks to the original video, just the perfect icing on the cake!

May I recommend, for your consideration, the hurdy gurdy as another contender.

The harpeji is also pretty cool

I'm curious why you can't just say, "This is absolutely amazing and deserves way more recognition." Did you really think people would misunderstand you without the "like completely unironically" disclaimer?

Finalmente achei um brasileiro!!! Camarada sou do Sul do Brasil, do Rio Grande do Sul pra ser mais específico, o uso do acordeom por aqui é algo que já está enraizado em nós gaúchos. Fiquei completamente embasbacado com esse sensacional cover! E ainda mais por ser em gaita ponto!!!

Somos 3 então... Lembrei do meu velho avô tocando guri na gaita... Ele ia ficar apavorado vendo esses 2

Vou tocar essa na hora de pular a fogueira na festa de São João.

@@VNeto94 mas tem q pular no ritmo pra valer! Hahahaha

Sou do sul e tô impressionado tbm

You may also enjoy 2 Cellos Their thunderstruck cover is great

Ok, that was a solid suggestion! Haha!

I was truly hoping for someone to mention Weird Al haha first person I thought of 😄 I'm sure he'd be really proud.

Yes! What mastery!!!!!

Unexpected Libertango

It was made for them lol

stupid question but is it hard to learn to play accordion? that instrument mystifies me so much and idk why loi. i was a wierd kid and never grew out of it forgive me lol

@@justinfulton1305 it's hard for me to say for sure, because I've been playing it since I were 6, but I'd say it's not much harder than learning to play piano. It can be a bit tricky, but the general ideas are the same: either way, you have to learn to make your hands do stuff independently, and you need to memorize the "keyboards" sooner or later or you will be really slow at it. Both of these aren't that difficult to achieve so long as you practice, and then, it's only about learning to do more fast and complex stuff. Also, I loved the accordeon the moment I saw it because of its piano keyboard for the right hand (weird reason, bit I *was* six, after all, but when I went to music school with my family, I've been recommended to try the button version instead, and to this day, I love the button accordeon, while the keyboard one is just alright, but nothing fancy. The reason is the general difference in sound: keyboard accordeons generally sound all French and funny, while a good button accordeon could be compared to an organ in terms of sound, making it perfect for playing classical music.

Good to see more of us, what's your current library highlight

@@alexlammers6371 Darude-Sandstorm

If I got randomly recommended then it won't go under appreciated anytime soon

Whilst they are good quality (especially the audio), the video wouldn't be good if the musicians performance bombed. The camera could be stationary facing them using a built in mic like many highly viewed/liked KZfaq performances of old and this would still be widely praised.

To be fair, the choreography video direction is very standard for a “band performance” type video.

Definitely the highlight was them trading solos while the other took a drink of soda. 9.9/10 (didn't drink La Croix)

Homeschooling has some advantages.

i think rhe algorythm is starting to do its job ^^
