vanessa mae - classical gas

[TheGlasspigeon]

Dreams... kill a bear with bare hands, lasso the moon, tell that computer from space odyssey that he's an asshole, and marry this beautiful woman.

[Metagg]

I know Mason Williams loves this performance, one of his faves. Vanessa Mae is awesome.

[MrJohnpapuga]

A beautiful song but I would prefer the song without drums

Only Vanessa and violin:)

[Mack10001988]

fucken just brilliant makes me wish I'd finished my lessons on the violin when I was younger.

[krabatt76]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-)

[piotrkurdybala]

[ThexEdgexOfxGlory]

[ThexEdgexOfxGlory]

It takes a few minutes to learn just a few notes on a violin. Imagine learning this.

[lcn102]

Awesome.!!!

She has a genius for music.

I believe that she is a genius.!!

(Fantastic performance.! ^^)

[OzzInter]

Absolutely the best version of this famous tune!

[boomchakalaka0]

Mason for the win. Inspiring man.

[PianoSoulos]

Is this what happens when Violins eat Indian food?

[sprestyly]

I love her, amazing, spent 5 hours listening to all her videos.

[elka844]

She is by far my favorite musician and one of the most talented individuals I have ever heard.

Has anyone approached Mason Willams or VM for a duet of this?

[DenimAngelz]

Vanessa Mae is a true artist, If you haven't already heard it, check out her Raggae version on here also!

[teacherguapa]

Sunday afternoon and Vanessa...What else is there?

[CrazyMik]

Just that little smile she gives at 2.13 is enough for me!!!

[bartjooh]

[nettenettenettenette]

Sorry to disappoint you man. She is Chinese.

[blackbeasthamish]

@nettenettenettenette To be exact she is half Chinese, half Thai, born in Singapore and raised in England. I wonder what that makes her - apart from brilliant?

[broeps]

holy crap!

i think you all have no big music understanding.....

[imaginarythings]

Vanessa Mae? ~Her breathtaking beauty and presence, and profound brilliance and excellence goes beyond words. ~So superbly entertaining...~Food for the spirit and soul...~MAJESTIC!!!

[larapoka]

[62623576]

I think my head just exploded

[dawn351975]

[zedvf]

[solarflares1058]

Then you are shit.

It,s so fucking easy it,s stupid. If you can play a 3-octave major scale you can play this crap.

[porkypig98]

I'm trying to learn this song :D

It's pretty hard... X_X

[paint056]

The poetry of sound.

[KinetsuHyabusa4]

what's the real name of this song

[loric65]

classical gas orginally by mason williams

[xXxGoyexXx]

Classical gas...

[cruiser60]

Nice version.

[Typhoonkin]

rage son!

[LadyBeauty32]

I used to listen to this song as a child, I am 44 now, of course it wasn't Vanessa Mae, but her version sends chills from the top of my head down to the tip of my toes! She is absolutely FABULOUS! Thank you for your version of the song!! My daughter started playing the violin in Jr High, was so good she was picked up by the Austin Youth Symphony Ocherstra in only 4 mths after picking it up. She was so good, and her violin sits in the closet, it breaks my heart, I can just see her up on stage!

[36TRecords]

I'm 41 & I come from a family of musicians. My dad got me into Mason Williams (composer of this amazing track). My dad started to teach me guitar at 6, & then piano at 11. I'm classically trained in music, & can play 15 instruments. Ironically I'm learning the violin right now. I too dropped out of music (15yr-17yr), & easily picked up where I left off. Like riding a bike, you never forget. I know your daughter will pick up the violin again...trust me, it's just a phase my friend!

[shrinkingman66]

wtf are the 2 mincers in white shirts supposed to be doing?

[DeepAquaNeptune]

Actually, I think they're bodyguards or something. In another clip, Vanessa ran out in the audience while playing and the two guys followed after her. I guess that they're supposed to protect her if someone in the audience wants to attack her. xD

[ibanezguitarman]

Ice cream sellers

[goldenrapter]

too bad she cant play it by herself

[blueviolinplayer]

wish i can play like her...

[AuDubai89]

She's awesome and amazing !!! :)

[doceigen]

It took me two weeks of listening to Mason Williams over and over and over again!... to play it exactly like him. I just played it again, this many years later... some things just stay with you.

[bhodam]

.. the first time I heard classical gas was july 1969 on KTLA. I was 23 just out of college, driving home from my first real job in my first real car -- Triump TR4A -- down the new San Diego freeway when it was still possible to smell the orange blossoms ... what memories!!

[CoolNeba]

My favourite song

[cshughes1979]

Its been so long since i heard this, back in the day! And i'm only 29 lol, Still gives me the same beautiful feeling ;0)

[toothpik00]

Epic.

[mfzlfc]

brilliant....

[grzybol1990]

kocham to !!!!

[pauldookwah]

beautiful it's been a while since i herd this song... she nailed it!!!

[Milluw]

This song is genious. <3

[ludivene]

Vanessa Mae was in a movie/ mini series a few years ago - Arabian Nights. Really awesome interpretation Shaherizade's tales (Sorry! Spelling!) She played the princess that Aladdin fell for, I would love to know the name of the instrument that she plays in a scene... Help?

[myicedteacan]

Omg. I knew she looked familiar, I watched Arabia Nights in school x]

[atleticodedublin]

sencillamente cojonuda!!

[dmorph]

Awesome rendition of Mason Williams Classical gas. V.M just it again!!!

Leg!

[nateisbord2]

OMG!It was an amazing song before but this rendition is outstanding!!!! Im ashamed to admit it but i had never heard of V.M before this but she is magnificant!A different version of this song is in the Frasier episode when he changes his furniture alot and if anyone knows who plays that version please tell me!!

[Foczi]

If she is the "princess of violin" then who is the queen ? Because Mae owns.

[TGrasu]

i said princess because she has an albume called China Girl in wich she interprets an aria from Giacomo Puccini's 'Turandot' which is a story about a chinese princess. And plus... she's not married.. or is she?

[thetonedeafmusician]

@TGrasu Queen elizabeth I never married :P

[SEXY243]

@TGrasu I don't see a ring on her finger. =]

[noerlund75]

@TGrasu No she´s not married, atleast not in my mind ;)

[340rps]

@noerlund75 Not in my mind either, but in reality, she is. Can you just imagine lying down next to such an angel every night??

[zucchini2007]

I refer to VM as the Jimmy Hendrix of the violin.

[bamatommy]

You got that right.

[FAZman23]

@Foczi look up Karen Briggs. Her most notable work was on the Yanni - Live at the Acropolis concert in 1993. She's in the Red Dress.

[fruegel25]

@Foczi the queen of violin is her mother.

[sharkfoo1]

ya this is like a modern, hip mason williams

[stimano]

wow...

[stimano]

Sublime.... to put that Mason Williams classic to the violon.......Phew.......fkin amazing....

[dakotaw19]

Yea agreed, She is beautiful as is her music :D

[KaptKan1]

I am 60 years old, and I have learned that not much in life is perfect, especially when it concerns human beings... But, there are rare MOMENTS of perfection, and Vanessa Mae's version of this tune is one of them.

Her face probably qualifies as another.

[TGrasu]

i completly agree... she is very beautyfull and her plaing is senzational... as a guitarist, artist, and musician, she has my complete respect

[futaomi]

Agree. I think your comment describes her music the best on this page. There is nothing missing and there is nothing too much!

[63falcondude]

she is the best violinist out there. haha and the best looking

[jekyll1vs1hyde]

Vanessa Mae ROCKS, hardcore! She has to be one of the best violinists out there.

[babybubble7]

finaly i found the one i actually like

this song is amazing 5/1000000000 lol and subscribe

[futaomi]

lol that's five out of 1 billion, which is kinda low

anyway, I agree with you that this music is amazing. It's one of my favourite song.

[violindad63]

She is amazingly musical and despite I am sure the sneers of the 'violin experts', she is truly an incredible violinist (and for the sneerers, look for the videos of her doing Bach's partitas and then try to sneer).

[mrpackin]

never cared much about the violin until I heard Vanessa Mae on this video. man shes good and looks hot.

[miceskin]

FUCK!!! amazing!

[Batman001]

Gah, cmon even I could show her up.

Joking,

That's insanely intune and looks impossible to anyone non-superhuman.

5/5

[necronzero]

This Girl PWNS!!!!

I play some of her songs in my violin, but im DEFINITELY NOT AS GOOD XD

[jugglingmuse]

Absolutely love Vanessa Mae! This arrangement of this song is incredible.
