Crazy Quotes #4 & 5
Monday, February 23rd, 2009Wow, this single awesome video gave me a two-for-one deal. I insisted Andrew and Richard watch what would be the best Rock Band song ever. Difficult across the board and a guaranteed smile on your face the whole time!
It is Focus - Hocus Pocus, that is to say it is the 70’s band Focus, also known for their song Sylvia. The drummer fills faster than YouTube can keep up, the guitarist races through some intense solos, all the while the bass steamrolls through, and that keyboardist/vocalist is an animal! Lyrics are completely unnecessary when you have this guy’s range!
Yeah, that’s right! Yodeling! Whistling! Flut-ing around! “Vocalist” is too quaint a description for the man with the crazy hair and/or eyes!
Check out that flute solo!
Of course the video lends itself toward arguments, like whether or not the yodeling sounds like the Price is Right yodel song. My position:
Yes, I agree there’s yodeling involved
But just because one yodel enters the popular consciousness does not make all yodels like it.
