 Topic: Tubas Make Everything FunnyPosted: July 12 2011 at 00:26 |
|
It has long been my belief that there is no situation which is not made funny with the addition of a tuba. Any photo, any music, stick in a tuba and it's much more amusing than it was before. One of the great dreams of my youth was to record a disc which added tuba to basically every genre imaginable.

no doubt about it-- what isn't made funny with a sound very close to severe flatulence

Tubas don't even sound remotely close to flatulence, they are a beautiful, not to mention extremely important, instrument.

I once heard a CD of a virtuoso tuba player recording arrangements of classical standards like the William Tell Overture for solo tuba. It was really bad...

Especially in string quartets. The first thing that comes to mind is Sky's Tuba Smarties off Sky 2. It came back on Sky 3 as Dance Of The Big Fairies. Both intentionally silly. |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I used to play euphonium which is lower than tuba and prettier, but heavier than a complete collection of Hawkwind albums.

In the music of Richard Wagner, and the late symphonies of Anton Bruckner, the tuba is important in parts, and is not used in a funny way, really

I agree about the tuba, and I proudly add the banjo (and that includes Bela Fleck).

This is an experimental sludge metal type band with no guitars. Drums, sax, tuba. It's pretty amazing (but still pretty funny sometimes - listen to Story of A Giant)

Tubas do make everything funnier.
They should definitely hire some tuba players for the hospitals. Might ease the HIV positive message you´re about to get with Peaches En Regalia played solely by tuba in the back.
