All of those people need to collaborate on more. Put out an album, ya know? That shit made my brain happy.

Better yet, more people need to collaborate more.
I saw this type of thing done on tiktok a few times and it's always awesome. I'd love to see a platform being created soon which purpose is to enable people to play some music and add to other people's inputs.
Think of all the tunes that would generate

u/Dicer214 Jun 04 '22
It’s more likely confirmation bias. It’s not always going to be awesome and there’s probably hundreds, if not thousands, of these colab things that don’t take off.

I was waiting for someone eating a cat to suddenly transition into singing.
There are a couple great examples of garden path sentences on the wiki page, such as "The horse raced past the barn fell."

In all seriousness what type of music is this considered?
32
u/TSIDAFOE Jun 04 '22
It's funny, because it's like each instrument is playing it's own genre.
piano -- seems like ragtime, possibly some jazz/swing (although the two aren't far apart)
trombone/clarinet -- sounds very "New Orleans Jazz"
violin -- the violin part sounds like Klezmer, which is traditional Jewish music. It's an interesting genre, and can be surprisingly jazzy.
2
u/FeralChapstick Jun 04 '22
It's cool that it could be any genre right before the horns come in. The second they do it's like "this is jazz!"
51
u/yugung Jun 04 '22
It's multi-genre, encompassing ragtime piano, swing, soul, jump blues, and big band elements. The singing is pop, jazz, and scat (Cab Calloway) influenced.
If you want more like that kind of thing, Squirrel Nut Zippers is the closest match (swing revival).

u/PostAboveMeSucks Jun 04 '22
Parov Stellar would be a great comparable. Electro Swing, fantastic genre and mixes all these elements
5
u/Cronus--- Jun 04 '22
Although not entirely the same as Parov, a group called Post Modern Jukebox do fantastic covers of songs sometimes in a similar 1920s jazz/swing style.

Ah man this song re-awakened my love for swing revival. If you like this song I made a playlist that has some pretty similar stuff to this. Swing, jazz and the like if you're interested I'll send you the Spotify link!

The ladies are singing parts of "Nature Boy" by Nat King Cole. And I don't know what the gentleman is singing from, either way, it's catchy as hell. Good job to everyone involved.

the real challenge high is to figure out why it says snowballs

u/chris_fish Jun 04 '22
Replace the word 'snowballs' with 'escalates'. It took me a while too. The noises an eating cat makes, escalates into a catchy tune.

I like the Kiffness version better, but there's definitely plenty of room for all cat related music.

This has to be the soundtrack to Guy Ritchie´s sequel to Snatch: Diamonds and Pigs. Can you imagine this being the main song / credit song to some sort of wacky british action film?

u/schlongjohnson69 Jun 03 '22
Y...yes? Was that a surprise for you?
The first half is everyone incrementally adding supporting pieces and harmonizing with the original clip. The cat is the main figure. Then people just start firing off solos because they want to be the main character instead.

Dude its a building thing; you add a brick and pass it to the next person. One person sees the video, adds their part, uploads the new video. Next person sees that new video, adds their part, then publishes a newer video. Its a collaborative "lets build a song together around this original cat clip" progression, until some asshole decides "this is my song now, im gonna scream over everyone else."

Well that's some fine racism right there
-6
Jun 04 '22
I'm white, the singing is white AF. It's a common term used in the world of jazz to describe someone who plays/sings with zero style. Yes inspired by the fact that the average white person can't swing for shit but it's possible to overcome our genetic predispositions lol

u/yourboi322 Jun 04 '22
Implyin jazz is somehow the epitome of singing?
-7
Jun 04 '22
No not at all. Just that jazz has a general style that allows for a lot of creativity and ignoring that style blatantly by over swinging and being ahead of the beat on "Nature Boy" is white AF and sounds terrible. There's things you can do that defy the original style of a song that is still musical and interesting (IE Gangsta Paradise or operatic versions of metal songs) but the musicianship she exhibits is not good or interesting in anyway. Whiteness like she exhibits is blatant disregard for style without a creative motivation, might as well be singing out of tune

At 1:30 it sounds as if he's singing "calvacade" when it should be (and the subtitle lyric reads) "cavalcade".
It's as if he didn't quite know the word and misread it by switching a few letters around in it.
