INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
The PRODUCER is seated comfortably behind the soundboard, looking relaxed and content. Seated inside the booth is a familiar face…
J.J. WATT: …and then we’re headed up to Los Olivos for a few nights to drink a little wine.
PRODUCER: Wow, that sounds really pleasant. I have to say, you seem more relaxed than I’ve ever seen you.
J.J. WATT: It’s an adjustment, but what can I say? Like everything else, I’m taking retirement seriously.
PRODUCER: Do you think you’re going to…
— [PORTAL THROUGH SPACE AND TIME FLIES OPEN] —
J.J. WATT: [startled] What the…?
DJ 3000: OH, HEY.
PRODUCER: Oh! Hey, you’re still loopin’, eh?
DJ 3000: YEAH, STILL WORKING ON A SOLUTION.
PRODUCER: Wait…why are you 1/10 size?
DJ 3000: IT’S A LONG STORY.
RUSSELL WILSON: It’s not that long of a story.
DJ 3000: WELL, IT’S A DUMB STORY.
RUSSELL WILSON: Can’t argue that.
The PRODUCER looks deeper through the portal and notices the far side of the room is covered in wreckage, including various red and blue and white robot components.
PRODUCER: Sweet Jesus what happened to Petunia?
DJ 3000: OH, SHE WAS HAVING A DEBATE WITH PED-209, AND THEY SETTLED IT VIA TRIAL BY COMBAT.
JIM NANCE 081-RD-92C: With commentary provided by yours truly.
PRODUCER: Is she going to be okay?
DJ 3000: DON’T WORRY, SHE’LL BE FINE WHEN THE LOOP RESETS.
PRODUCER: What was the debate about?
DJ 3000: WHETHER OR NOT A BELL IS A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
PRODUCER: Of course a bell is a musical instrument, it…
PED-209: [advancing menacingly towards the portal as his syringe minigun begins spinning] NO IT IS NOT.
JIM NANCE 081-RD-92C: Be careful, he’s stronger than he looks.
PRODUCER: How much stronger could he…okay, okay. A bell is not a musical instrument.
PED-209: [powers down]
PRODUCER: Jesus, this is like that sandwich-taco argument all over again.
J.J. WATT: Wait, what sandwich-taco argument?
PRODUCER: So, you see…wait, we should probably discuss this off-air. In the meantime, let’s get some music playing. DJ 3000, did you have something for us?
DJ 3000: NOT AT PRESENT, NO.
RUSSELL WILSON: Hey, I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we do musical instruments? Songs that mention them explicitly in the title.
PRODUCER: That sounds great, have you got one to get us started?
RUSSELL WILSON: I sure do. DJ 3000, you can cue up a little Talking Heads for all the listeners out there?
Today’s theme is “musical instruments”. We’re looking for songs that discuss instruments like guitars, saxophones, violins, tubas, etc. And yes, bells are musical instruments. Songs about “symphonies” and “orchestras” are okay too. Let’s try to stick to songs that mention instruments specifically in the title, but if we’re getting desperate later in the afternoon we’ll open things up to lyrics too. Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4bL0_B33 and they should embed in the comments after you refresh. Last week’s puzzle answer was “Rhymin’ and Stealin'” by the Beastie Boys, successfully requested and claimed by SonOfSpam. Let’s get to it!
…and given the intro, gotta include this:

I’m not proud of myself, but this is the only one I could find for “flute”.

Second, since music is just sound is just energy, so electricity is just another type of energy

Is that Amanda Palmer? sure sounds like her.
Should have done some research, it is her.
Name a more obscure instrument. You can’t!
