YouTube Music -- Fun and Games

Wide open thread topic, as long as it pertains to music clips from YouTube.

Here’s a starter: California Guitar Trio - Ghost Riders on the Storm

Let’s see how weird we can get! :slight_smile:

Okay, so maybe that one example didn’t make a clear point of what this thread is about. Here’s another example:

♫♫♫|||“Billy Joe Walker Jr - Midnight Romance”|||♫♫♫ (((“L & R Audio”))) which came up after a search for that tune.

Well, since this thread doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anyway, and since starting another YouTube music thread seems unlikely to do any better, I’ll just amend the idea for what sort of thing to post here.

It happens often enough that I’m sure others share a similar experience. There will be some other piece of music being played somewhere, TV commercial, background for some show, band playing at a football game, you name it. The piece will make you think of another piece that you don’t remember the name of.

When that happens to me I try to think of what I do know of the piece I’ve been reminded of and head off to YouTube to look for possible matches.

This is one I finally located after maybe an hour’s brain-racking: Bibo No Aozora / Endless Flight (Babel ending music) which we own on CD and have in the car. This particular piece is very much like something else I’ve been hearing lately, but I forget where. Does it remind you of anything?

And another piece I’ve been playing over and over for the sheer pleasure of it (and which I mentioned in the earworm thread) is [PIANO] Michel graillier - Aicha

I like playing the link game. First I’ll do a search for a music video such as Ghost Riders in the Sky - YouTube
Then I look at the featured videos. The first thing that catches my eye is this: - YouTube The Good, the Bad and the Ugly theme. and so forth and so on. I’ve come across some really neat things that way.

I do follow the links to “related videos” often. I’m usually amazed at how quickly you get to porn no matter where you start!

Do you mind linking to something you found after “playing the link game”?

Somebody posted a funny Muppet music video here awhile back - YouTube Beaker sings “Feelings” I came across a bunch of funny stuff but my favorite was “Danny Boy” Danny Boy - YouTube
