I made this specifically for the Smule "This Contest Blows" Contest for the iPhone Ocarina. I'm playing "Whistle Stop" from the Disney movie Robin Hood. Along with the Smule ocarina, I'm playing guitar, piano, harmonica, kazoo, ukeleke, and the lip-buzzing sound Roger Miller used for the song. Enjoy!
UPDATE: This video is award winning! I came in the top 10 in the Smule "This Contest Blows" Contest! The contest is still going til mid-February, so keep checking out the different videos.
Thanks to everyone that viewed/rated/commented, and extra thanks to Smule for the opportunity. Also, since the contest, I've learned how to pronounce "Smule", and they sent me an official Smule t-shirt :)

would've been nice if you had interpreted it a little more and done some different riffs on each instrument instead of doing the exact same thing every time...
I agree! :) Actually, I was originally planning a larger production, including a march that would have (hopefully) mimicked the open sequence in Robin Hood. However, I then heard word of the Smule Ocarina contest and wanted to get something out FAST. Also, I have the most trouble playing the Ocarina.... and because that's the instrument I was trying to highlight, I thought it best not to stylize any of the other parts. I left the flair for the ending tailored specifically for Smule :)
