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!

I had a teacher play this in school and tell us-very seriously-that this is what music will sound like in The Future.
Nothing wrong with this, if you’re stoned and have headphones. c.f. Pink Floyd – Echoes.

My wife and I were discussing this song and what it is about at a party, and another guest looked at us like we were the dumbest mouth-breathers on the planet and told us, “That song is about drug abuse!” Mortally offended. To this day we still get a laugh out of it.

Stunned this lasted as long as it did.
It’s a great song. Needs more cowbell.
It’s in there somewhere.

There is nobody like her, weird and wonderful!
I’m a huge fan. Scotchy can attest too.
I fell in love when I read a story that as a performance piece she had ice skates frozen in blocks of ice, put them on and was dumped on a street corner. After the ice had melted she walked away with the skates still on.

Can we get a ruling on if the entire genres of symphonies and solo concertos and anything that’s for X instrument(s) are valid? I’m going to assume not or else I will be here for the rest of eternity.
Songs about “symphonies” and “orchestras” are okay too.
I think the rest of us are probably going to defer to you and Maestro on these.
My ruling is that they’re fair game, but maybe with a limit of five (5) such requests.
