My wife and I like to call saxophones “sexy trumpets”
People: “This is a xylophone.”
Musicians: “It’s metallic, hint hint.”
People: “Yes, it’s a metallic xylophone.”
Musicians:
Glockenspiel is just fun to say though…
Shouldn’t cello be part of the “Squidward Flute” group?
My sister plays both the violin and the big violin.
My sister is the big violin.
Simultaneously??
Haha. The seal really sells it.
Seal of approval 🎷🦭
Make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Sing us a song, you’re the plink-ploink man
Never look up the Hungarian name for the bassoon.
I love blowing my Fagott.
Same in most languages (a variation of fagott).
Oh no
Oh.
Keyboard players: everything is keys
The key-tar is an abomination. I have no clue why that thing was made.
cherry mx or gateron?
Euphonium is a fun word.
“Squidward flute” made me cringe so hard I almost passed out. God please tell me none of you are actually that lame
no one is. this is the most ridiculous caricature I’ve ever seen and the immense snobbery of the so-called musician is unbearable. no one calls cellos violins. no one says Squidward flute or plinky plonk. literally everyone knows what a saxophone is, no one says careless whisper, which hasn’t been nearly as popular and ubiquitous as it was decades ago. i wouldn’t be surprised if fewer people know about careless whisper than they do about epic sax guy from Eurovision.
bruh my guitarist friend calls all the orchestral instruments “violins”
I only recognize one epic saxophone guy and it isn’t george michael.
Thought for a minute you were going to say Sexy Sax Man https://youtu.be/GaoLU6zKaws?si=jdPgpAw12HX0YqzP
Holy shit, 13 years ago… I feel like that dude at the end of the Last Crusade.
You’d best recognize Leo Pellegrino
*careless whisper* is a really weird way to spell Baker Street
Wow, I know the saxophone reference but clearly have never heard the actual song. That transition to and from the singer on acoustic is jarring. The sax part is completely out of place in this song, or the singer is. It feels like they put two completely separate ideas together and shrugged.

As a musician, this is how I feel when talking to percussionists. Pretty much anything that makes a sound can be used for percussion and plenty of them have been given specific names: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_percussion_instruments
Yeah, I’m an amateur musician and can tell the difference between different kinds of saxomophone, between cellos and violas, and so on. But, there are a lot of things I’d just call “drums” that have specialty names. I mean, how many names are there for “large upright drum that you play with your fingertips and thumbs while it sits between your legs”?
I’m new to saxomophone, any relationship with the xylophone?
I don’t know, you’d have to ask the expert.
My favorite percussion instrunment, “alarm device”
Somebody had a fire drill during band class and said “write that down, write that down!”
First of all, guy on the right isn’t just a non musician, he’s an ignoramus.
Second, Careless Whisper is only the THIRD most iconic sax song after Baker Street and Run Away (Eurovision origin of Epic Sax Guy)
