This is such a crazy idea that I couldn't help laughing out loud, even though I've hear it before. The skill required to do this however, is just phenomenal.
Tommy Pederson was a great trombone player. When I've had to play really fast, I've flutter tongued with the middle of my tongue. The tune lays very well on the trombone in that key.
#Zachary Kaplan it is in fact double tongue. The piece is written in straight semiquavers. It would have to be triplet semiquavers to be triple tonguing.
I don't have the LP (or the CD) with me, but the album was about "High Fidelity" and ostensibly illustrated the advantages and defects and features of High Fidelity. It included such notables as "Duet for Violin and Garbage Disposal," "Pal-Yat-Chee," and "Flight of the Bumblebee" played by a trombonist with hay-fever. (High fidelity apparently brought out the image of the bumblebee flying about, so well that it came out like that.)
Isto me lembra da história, dizem que é verdade, que no meio de uma pausa "general" da orquestra que estava tocando num crescendo, muito alto, e numa pausa geral da música, a única coisa que se escutava no salão era uma mulher gritando: "Eu frito meus na manteiga!".
I think you're referring to the track "Jones Laughing Record", which features "Flight of the Bumblebee", along with the sneezing and laughter. I thought this was more of a live version of that, with the audience laughing instead of the recorded laughter.
I think he was referring to "dinner music for people who aren't very hungry" (it's on here somewhere) which does play a lot with hifi/stereo tricks explicitly stated as such.. Several numbers are on different albums in different versions. On that hi-fi album the bumble bee song is without laughter/cackle, and the Pal ia tchi is done by Betsy Gay instead of the usual guys. The Betsy Gay version is just perfect, but for the Bumble bee I prefer the version from another album because the laughter is just so over the top and infectious.
If you didn’t understand the sneezing, your kinda dumb. If your wondering, it’s because bees carry pollen and pollen “makes you sneeze”. It I may also be stupid. This is just what I think
What made Spike Jones' humor so effective was the excellent musicianship.

My late mother in law used to call it The bum of the flighty bee.
never thought id see a trombone virtuoso. this guy is not of this world.
I remember the great Al Hirt playing this piece on trumpet, but this is the first time seeing and hearing it on trombone. Both are wonderful.

Have never heard it done better, cleaner or faster. Pederson leaves the rest in the dust. Tonguing in hyperdrive.
Glenn Johnson Pure nostalgic brilliance!Fantastic musicianship!Brilliant TV.A million thanks!
I played trombone in high school band, and this guy, Tommy Pederson is incredible. Tha
An astonishing level of musicianship. And all done for laughs.
All great musicians and performers, your were leading edge of what was to come. I thank you !
talking to the dead?
@@buddhawasright No, and they thanked me!
badass triple-tongue
not ever Tbone player can do this.... musicianship...
and the tempo got faster and faster and faster
My seasonal allergies are nowhere near this hilarious.
It shows that in order to play comedy, you have to extremely proficient in music! Extremely!
I'm late to your channel, but so glad I found you. Can't pick a favorite, they are all priceless. Thank you for sharing.
TO THOSE IN THE KNOW THOSE NOTES ARE THEY 32ND THE POWER HE HAD TO KEEP IT GOING AND THE TIMING WONDERFULL

Loved Spike Jones. His songs one I can remember is Wild Bill Hicup.
Should it be illegal to do that to a trombone? Amazing!
Depends what country you're in
LMAO NO IT SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
@@plunger9165 Thanks for drawing my attention back to this performance -- I needed the laugh and the awe.
Hey
I've heard it done on tuba
Oh my god... Is he like quadruple tounging.
Trombone is an excellent comedic...er...instrument (no pun intended). More people should be aware of this.
Funny and excellent!

dude goals
In the recording ("High Fidelity") it's the trombonist who has the hay fever, and sneezes.
A top LA studio player!
That’s actually really impressing :o
It DOES sound exactly like a bumblebee!
Bravo!
Thank you, Spike Jr.
Very funny, very clever

excelentné---
Those were the days when musicians had real skills, musicality, humour, talent.
ahhh that was good
Steve Stalzle is a cool guy.
ich bin begeistert
All of Spike Jones's musicians were there the best musicians around. There will never be any musicians like them again.
NEVER heard anyone tounge a brass instrument that fast. EVER.😮
Did Victor Borge and Spike Jones ever play together?
Em been real quiet since this dropped
👍👍😎😎😎
SQUAREHEAD BOI
The blight of the fumble bee.
Da Schneezin' Bee.
What was the year?
At some point someone gave this song lyrics and it’s hilarious
Do you have any recordings of Spike with his other orchestra, playing music straight?
There was a 3 disk album on 45s.
I’m thinking I’ve heard this before
Orson Welles?
what is this dude?
Check out Urbie greens version (trombone master)

Buzz
trombone guy:your fired
piano dude:im just sneezing
Usually its trumpet right!!!!
11 people hate good music.
Spike could be James Cagney's brother. They sure look alike.
Funny, but not nearly as funny as the record.
