At least 5 or 6 years someone posted a link here to a home movie made by a man whose wife had given him a reel to reel tape recorder with sound on sound for Christmas. The film shows him opening the present, then going off to play with it. He starts up a metronome, then plays a novelty instrumental whose name escapes me (I think the title of the song is a woman’s first name) on a ukulele, overdubbing multiple kazoos. I know there’s a Wikipedia article about the film, because the guy did some amazing stuff synchronizing the film with the tape and some multiple exposure tricks to get multiple “hims” in the film.

All I can remember of the name of the film is it had his name combined with “multi” or “synchro” or “plicity” or something like that. Does anyone else remember this?

Aye; great little film.

[Mutiple SIDosis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQz9ZjN6mkw), from 1970.

ETA: btw, this film is still hugely influential and widely imitated. [Bohemian Gravity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rjbtsX7twc) (2013), for instance.

Whoa! Bobby McFerrin has really let himself go!

After all these years, I finally learned the name of that song; thanks!

Thanks! That’s it. Funny thing is I used to have no trouble remembering it. It’s been a couple of years since I watched it, and it just completely slipped my mind.
