Welcome to Video Brilliance: Music Edition. In my wanderings of the great big internet I love stumbling upon musical themed goodness as it combines two of my favourite things, goodness and music! I’m including four videos of unquestionable brilliance for you here. You’re welcome.
First off we present the band Ok Go with their great song and video Here It Goes Again.
Never has treadmills looked so fun!
Next, though it’s not technically a music video, we look at a boy who has spent far too much time playing Dance Dance Revolution.
That must be a great workout anyway!
Next we look at one of the strangest songs I’ve heard, and yet still, one of the greatest. I bring you, Chicken Flow!
Last but certainly not least we have one of the greatest brass bands around, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble!
Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did and see you again next time!
Funny music! I like the first one most, for the men in it were very creative, in fact what they played and what they used to play were very simple, but it was hard to imagine and creat it. About the Chicken Flow, I want to tell you this is called kou ji (氓聫拢忙艩鈧) in China, and it is a very ancient skill. We can see it rarely today, but I believe it is being passed down to the new generation, so if one day I find some vedios about kou ji, I will send you. Chinese kou ji skill is very amazing.

Is 氓聫拢忙艩鈧 beatboxing (many different sounds) you mean? Or Sounding like Chickens?

氓聫拢忙艩鈧 means beat-box. The player can imitate many different sounds just with his mouth which is very amazing. Like, a player can make the mixed sounds of birds, barking of dogs, cries of babies, coughs, the quarrels of adults and so on in order to display a scene just in your imagination through hearing.

A simple sketch, not wonderful as the past ones, but still can display some elements about Chinese kouji. There are three parts in it: the first part, the player plays thes ounds of night of frontier defence; the second, the Chinese gong and drum and firecrachers; the last, you can tell easily,

Yeah, these kinds of things are popular in most places, especially before technology let us easily hear anything we want whenever we want like now. Very interesting talent, must take a longtime to practise to get them so perfect.
