I can play it with my *CENSORED*, while singing in three-part harmony.

I only perform it when my wife is mad at me.

Have you considered branching out and doing a version with a Theramin?

It would certainly bring out the Theremin’s best qualities.

No, wattsgnu, you are not the only one. I sat and watched the little
red line go all the way to the end, thinking I had gone deaf.

But then the air conditioner came on, and I realized that it wasn’t me.
My audio is definitely on, and the YouTube screen showed full-on audio.

I can’t imagine why its sound was not sounding off.

I can play it on the didgeridoo..

It’s the only thing I can play on the didgeridoo.

The vuvuzela version is great, too.

Was it really too much a bother to record the live performance?

Actually, I tried. There were problems miccing the instrument.

After some thought, though, I think that my version is truer to the spirit of the original than a live recording would be. This way, you get a different musical experience every time you listen.

Makes great background music to pick tomatoes by.

Now if only someone would put some lyrics to the music...

Just use the text of “The Deep Thoughts of Barack Obama.”

Hey!

That will work.

And it fits the music perfectly..

..but I think it attracts mosquitos.
