Illinois

[TheAmazingMaxsteele2]

It's called Illinois because the song is called Illinois. It was on State Songs by John Linnell, one of the Johns in They Might Be Giants.

[kudjo24]

Im from Illinois and this totally makes sense.....the state itself makes no sense.

[theguyi26]

Why is it called Illinois?

[FoxyMamaRox]

@theguyi26 'Cause that's how we roll in Illinois, son. >.> *pokes your chest*

[apbtdobe]

[thornbush1241]

[KidOnTheNet]

the octopus was great ^^



[lexibabes100]

just saying that octopus made me feel a slight jolt of euphoria :D 

[TheFortuneCat]

And than the admirals blood attracted a horde of dogsharks, who took small but percise bites of the octopus. It died slowly and tragicly.

[trinitykill33]

@TheFortuneCat NEVER!!! Mr. Octopus will never die!

. . . keep playing your happy music Mr. Octupus

[fkorn]

[fkorn]

mmmmm This video is fuckin' boring! Why can you see that!!!!

[fkorn]

*Can't

[Zelarpie]

lol he should have stolen the hat XD

[ChronoSquare]

~ 0:50, what instrument is that? I almost want to say saxophone... but I've never heard it played like that...

[CuteLilWolfy]

i think some type of horn...

[Sweetination]

I think it is a sax probably a soprano by the sound of it

[KawhackitaRag]

the only instrument you hear on this entire tune is a Wurlitzer model 103 band organ, which plays automatically by means of paper rolls. Band organs were originally used to provide music for carousels, roller-skating rinks, and carnivals and tent shows of all description. This organ has mostly wooden violin and flute pipes, but what you hear at 0:50 (and even before that) are the wooden trumpets, which play from their own 13-note section. The organ has 41 playing notes and is not chromatic.

[KawhackitaRag]

You can see a video of an identical (but not the same exact) 103, if you go to Myspace videos and search "band organ rally". The 103 is seen from about 1:18 to 1:37 in that video.

[vikramvaranasi]

MAN you must be a music genius!

[rraygon]
