Metal Marimba

Fun With the Prelinger Archive: All video and sound clips used are in the public domain

Video: Reg Kehoe and The Marimba Queens

Music: Vincent Metal

I couldn't hear Frank DeNunzio's bass over the marimbas, so I searched for something that would do his wild antics justice.

In the spirit of public domainism, you're free to copy my leet video editing skills and post this all over the internet so long as you post it in full with my "Billybughead" credits and attribute me (and of course the original artists).

Or make your own version with your own song, since the YouTube community needs a new game now that "tag" has run its course...

I meant to say, my mom-in-law is playing maracas in the film.

[BillyBughead]

wow, cool

[BillyBughead]

And I've seen this done for vintage Charleston footage and a variety of dancehall music...

[blackturtleus]

That was strange!

[BillyBughead]

lol well in the original you hear the marimbas, and then the guy starts flailing his bass but you don't hear a thing from his instrument. So I had to help him out a bit lol

I'll bet there's a blackturtleus song concept in there SOMEWHERE ;-)

[BillyBughead]

My husband's mom was the girl shaking the marimbas with Reg and the Queens, and we just discovered this hilarious clip. She is 82 years old today and still plays her marimba in her condo in Sarasota Florida! From the whole family, thanks for a great laugh.
