- [Narrator] The Otamatone is a silly singing synthesizer
that vomits out musical notes.
("Africa" by Toto on Otamatone)
Watch as we use the instrument to play name that tune.
- I'm gonna be listening to some music in my headphones
and do my best to play along on the Otamatone,
while Ben tries to see
if he can identify the music I'm playing.
- Are we callin' this music?
- Yeah. - All right.
(upbeat music)
(Otamatone buzzing)
Ah, this is gonna suck.
- Ready?
Here we go.
("Iron Man" by Black Sabbath played on Otamatone)
- It's that song from truck commercials, Danny.
Is it Iron Man?
- Yeah. - Yeah, I got one.
That was good.
It kind of had that like, I'm playing a rock solo face.
- Yeah.
You gotta do that, that helps.
Okay, next song.
(swish)
("Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes on Otamatone)
- Oh yeah.
This is Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes,
Danny Gula.
- You are correct sir.
- Yeah look at me getting two.
- It's going to get a little trickier
as it gets harder for me to play them.
- Okay.
(swish)
("Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana on Otamatone)
Oh God.
It kind of hurts to listen to.
Oh I know this one.
Is this Smells Like Teen Spirit?
- It is! - Yeah!
(swish)
- I'll give you a hint, it wouldn't be
HR appropriate to talk to me like this at work.
("Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo on Otamatone)
- Honey there's an animal dying on the porch.
- I'm playing it perfectly.
("Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo on Otamatone)
- Um I don't think I'm getting it.
- That's talk dirty to me.
- Oh okay.
- I was trying to go...

- I like your Otamatone face.
("Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen on Otamatone)
- You got it though, Another One Bites The Dust.
- Yeah that was good, it was good.
(swish)

this next one though is going to be my opus.
("My Heart Will Go On" by Céline Dion on Otamatone)

- I think I'm either too good at this
or you're too good at interpreting.
So what are your thoughts on the Otamatone?
- It's sort of hideous sound, like--
- Perfect for any genre I think is what
you're trying to say.
(laughing)
- It's charming in it's disgracefulness to music.
It's so bad it's good I guess.
- I think it's meant to sound more
hilarious than good.
- Yeah, I mean it should not exist.
- But it does.
- But I'm glad that it exists.
