Hello everyone!
We just had our four million Mendelssohn last night.
Did you sleep in? I...I tried to sleep in, but,
oh my gosh, pumped with adrenaline.
But, here we are,
back with the most talented subreddit in the world,
r/lingling40hrs!
Before actually this video started,
I looked at this, top 1% ranked by size.
Dude, that's crazy.
We've officially made it!
- Yeah, r/lingling40hrs is in the top 1% of - Let's go!
- largest communities on Reddit! - You guys are awesome.
Last time we've done Ling Ling 40 hours
was over a month ago actually,
and a lot has happened in this month on our channel,
as I'm sure you're all aware.
So I guess since it's been a month,
I went straight to uh, this month.
Top one!
The almighty power of the Blinks,
- they cancelled our YouTube channel. - Please, oh no!
I mean, hey, whatever makes them happy.
Let them have their moment.
GG?
Girl group.
Oh, okay!
I thought the same thing, I'm like,
- "GG, easy? Game over? Good game?" - Yeah...
"Good game? What?"
Well they actually like, don't know.
- I'm trying to decide if I even want to like, bother... - Don't know...
Yeah...!
You know what, let them have their moment.
Cool, good for them.
- Oh dude, they're a rapper! - Oh damn, she got the rhymes!
The rhyme, man!
Oh, now you know it's La Campanella.
That's funny, 'cause a lot of them actually didn't know
it was La Campanella,
they thought Paganini ripped off Blackpink.
So I guess it's a cool thing, that Paganini responded,
so now people know.
"Came out of my grave, just to make a point."
I just love how um,
being successful and rich somehow implies that
you make better music.
InTeReStInG!
What do you mean? We didn't make the song.
- It's by Paganini. - Paganini!
- Dude, we've been practicing. - Yeah, for the concert last night!
Look at this hickey, it's from practice, man!
Yeah you know, times are tough,
can't afford my 10 million dollar Strad.
But hey, any uh,
- sugar mama or sugar daddies out there? - Sugar...yeah...
Hit us up.
Oh! They think...!
Ohh...!
- Well I mean it's true, it is Paganini, it's not me. - Yeah.
Bruh! Dude...!
- Oh...! - Yeah!
TwoSetters are going crazy, going savage!
Oh, okay something that's not Blackpink related.
I remember! He said hello, he was like, "Oh!"
I think he was supposed to be working,
- that was his first day or something. - Yeah.
Did he get in trouble for talking to you
- instead of working? - Who knows? Are you still working there?
I don't know, I'm just joking!
Yeah, see?
Look I planned it all,
I knew you didn't feel like coming today,
so I rocked up, give you a bit of a morale boost.
Plot twist: Brett owns your restaurant.
Nah, just kidding.
- He's the, what's it? Undercover boss or something? - Yeah, I'm just checking...
- Like, reading the comments now, "Hmm..." - "Mmmmmm!"
- Did I just somehow get rickrolled by a hand? - (Brett) Yeah...
I was like, "No way!"
- That's a smart one. - I gotta say, that's also impressive that
you made it to top post, in this month,
with a pure meme.
- Just a...despite everything happening this month. - Just a hand!
That is genius!
Oh, here we go again.
Huh? The dogs are Blackpink?
I mean, they were pretty cute dogs.
Interesting uh, interpretation.
Wow...
- Alright, this is getting out of hand. - Oh, okay, here we go, whoa, okay.
Wow.
Hmm.
Cool.
There's a fourth there, there's a third, there's a seventh...
That's like a unison?
I think I've heard someone play this, uh,
practice this piece before,
in my uni practice room next door.
- Ahh... - I think I've heard this piece!
It's always at D flat, right?
The piece only lasts for like 20 seconds, though.
- Yeah, yeah, that's...yeah. - Yeah...
- Yeah, Paganini just can't rest in peace, hey. - Yeah, he's like,
"Look, I just play some violin, Mamma Mia,
violin pieces, I'm done."
Wow!
Counterpoint in your area.
- Oh! Polyphony! - Yeah!
- Ugh! - Oh my god...ooh!
- Wait, that's...I thought that was Photoshop! - Is that legit? Or is that...
Oh wow!
That's a legitimate thing!
- Does it hurt? Or is it just... - You probably don't feel it then, right?
It's just skin.
Actually, you never have to trim your nails again.
One less problem, you can just play.
I guess you know like,
sometimes you're opening a can,
- and you need like a bit of nails to like... - Ohh...!
- I was thinking what could be like, - Oh, my hand...
- the downside for that, right? - That's true.
Or you want to pick something like that's stuck flat on the floor,
- if you have nails, it's like take...yeah! - You need nails to like...
That's true, that would be elite like, vibrato.
- Oh yeah...you can like... - 'Cause there's no nails getting in the way.
Roll...it's like...
Wow.
We heard they started spamming
Singapore Symphony Orchestra to like,
- cancel the stream yesterday. - Mm-hmm.
It's funny, because not just Singapore Symphony, but,
- several other...soloists, - Yeah.
or people that have appeared on our profile,
- all kind of got associated. - Yeah, yeah.
like, kind of toxic dms.
It's funny, because in the classical world,
a lot of them actually just genuinely don't know
- who Blackpink are, so they're like... - Yeah.
- "Who's Blackpink?" - Yeah, yeah, yeah...!
We got so many messages from other soloists, and just,
"Guys, WTF is Blackpink?"
But I mean, props to Singapore Symphony,
- absolute Chads. - Yeah, they're all just like,
- "Yeah, you know, don't worry, it's...yeah." - Yeah.
Chads.
- Wow, this is all like... - Oh, wow.
Sorry guys, this is gonna be a long episode today,
'cause there is a lot.
Ling Ling 40 Hour break!
- Go, everyone, online! - Oh yeah!

Hey Mendelssohn,
what do you think about Brett's performance?
"Best interpretation of my concerto
I've heard in a long time!"
Thanks Mendelssohn, that's very um...
...that's very kind of you!
Shows the um, difference in...

Some fans that lined up very patiently,
in the signing line yesterday, gifted us the books,
