Hello, hello.
Today we have a very, uh,
- iNTeReStiNg... video. - Ugh.
Bit different from what we usually do,
but I thought we'd have a little bit of fun.
This is totally my idea,
Brett is like, gonna get roasted for this.
Ling Ling Insurance!!
For those of you that don't know,
quick fact number one is...
that I have perfect pitch.
And quick fact number two,
Brett doesn't listen to pop music.
I don't not like pop music, I just
don't listen to a lot of it.
A lot.
(cough cough) Any. (cough)
Because I'm busy practicing!
No, he's a model purebred
- classical musician. - Mmm.
I also listen to classical music,
but I also listen to a little bit of pop every now and then.
I thought I would, uh...
We would play a little game called...
Hooray.
What a good title! Yay!
But basically I'm gonna be listening to some pop song,
and I have to try, in real time,
transcribe it and play it on the piano.
And then, based on what I'm playing,
Brett has to try and guess what song I am playing.
It's a teamwork situation.
Wow, this is just made to fail.
The rules for the songs are,
it's basically they have to be famous.
So, over 100 mil views.
PFFFT— OH NOOO!!
THAT'S NOT FUN...!!
And they have to be like, recent. So they c—
There won't be like,
- Bohemian Rhapsody or anything. - I'd probably have a better chance
with Bohemian Rhapsody!
- Alright. - This will be very funny.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
Guys, I'm so screwed. I...
Did you say something?
Nah, uh...
It's recent, hey?
This year. Four months ago.
Who released something four months ago?
Taylor Swift!
That's wrong.
- So wrong. - Guys, he's trying, alright?
He's trying.
Who was it?
Take another guess.
It's everyone's favorite boy group.
- BTS. - Yeahh.
- Boy With Luv. - I'm sorry, guys.
- Featuring Halsey. - LING LING INSURANCE!!
I was really worried I wouldn't be able to play, but...
It helps that all pop songs are just four chords.
They're like, literally
- the same four chords repeated. - Yeah, and it doesn't help
that they're all four chords for me.
If you can get one,
Eddy: ...I will be so impressed.
If I can get one, I just need to get one!
Come on!
Oh! OH!
Billie Eilish!
OHH!!
OH MY GOD!!!
Eddy: HOW'D YOU KNOW?!
Alright I'm done.
Double points if you know the name of the song.
I don't know, I just remember watching it for like,
two minutes.
Brett: And she was all like, emo and stuff, right?
And like it was just really like,
bloody and stuff.
- Yeah, there's blood. - I just remember that.
I think that's why I remembered it.
Do you know the—
Do you know the name of the song?
No.
It's Bad Guy.
- Oh wow, okay. I wouldn't have got that. - Yeah.
Yeah, I remember all like, the syncopation.
- I was like, Oh that's a cool rhythm. - Yeah.
That was actually really hard for me to do it.
- Like, I'm just not coordinated on the piano. - Yeah. Yeah.
I was like, Aah!!
Ling Ling Insurance, I'm not a pianist.
Sorry guys.
piAniSts.
- Alright guys, I got one already! - Alright, I'm gonna pick one more.
I feel so safe now.
- I'm actually impressed. - Insurance paid off.
Okay, let's do another one.
This song was HUGE.
Oh no.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I love how there's...
...one chord in this whole thing.
I know, I can't figure it out.
IT DOESN'T HELP!!
It's all one chord.
Okay, you don't have to play it. I get the point.
- There's literally... - You kept playing the same thing,
- That's literally how it goes! - I was like, It's not— I can't.
I don't know if I've heard it.
Maybe I have, I just don't pay attention.
Can you guess the genre?
- Rap? - Yeah.
- Yeah, I was thinking of rap. - Yeah! It's like,
I'm just imagining some dude like,
Who would get 100 million views and above?
Was it Drake?
Ohh!
Drake was featured in it.
- But technically it's another guy's. - Okay the other guy is, uh...
Dude, I don't know!
- Uh... - I'll give you a hint.
I think he's married to, uh...
Married to Kylie Jenner.
Oh, I don't know the name.
Oh, was it like, King...
Brett: Something? Nah.
Travis Scott.
- Oh, Travis Scott. - And the name is called Sicko Mode.
Ohhhh.
I know that song.
- Oh, you do? Yeah. - I know the name Sicko Mode.
Well you got Drake right,
- so that's half a point. - Yeah, half a point.
Yes guys!
I initially thought Drake first, but I was like,
- I have no idea. Like... - Is it cuz he's the only guy
- that raps you know? - Yeah, yeah.
Man, this is fun.
This is actually really fun.
I'm having so much fun.
Yeah. Fun.
This one might be hard for me to transpose.
Okay, so it's not my fault now.
Oh!
Oh, is this like, Ariana Grande?
- Is it? - Yeah!
- Yeah. - Oh 7 Rings— Oh, I saw it already.
- You know why? - Why?
'Cause I remember I was like, Ariana Grande??
And this song?
Yeah, cuz it's originally from, uh...
The Sound of Music.
- Yo - - Because there's a melody!!
OHHH!!
After it goes like,
"I want it,"
- And then there's no melody anymore, it's just rap. - No, that's— Yeah, that's literally why I got it.
'Cause of the melody.
Two and a half out of four, man!
I need to make them harder.
Nah, don't. I don't know anything.
I don't know anyone else, so just...
Alright, this song apparently is like,
the biggest deal.
But I don't really know it myself.
I probably will never get this one.
I don't know this song, I'm like freaking out.
Eddy: That's basically it.
A.
C.
F.
- E minor. - 100 million views!!
500 million views.
- OH!! 500 million views!!! - In... two months.
That means I only had a two-month window to even...
have the opportunity to listen to this piece,
which is like, 0% chance.
It sounds like a female singer.
- Mmm, there's a girl and a guy. - Is it?
The girl sang this song. Um...
Yeahh!
Cabella, yeah.
Sorry, guys.
I'm trying.
The guy... I don't even think
- you know the guy. - OHH!!!
If you get him right, I will be like, Oh my -
Shawn Mendes.
Actually??
You know him?!
How do you know him?!
Ohhh, I didn't think you would know him!
I took a random guess.
'Cause I was thinking,
the song is obviously huge.
It's recent.
It can't be like, a popular guy I would know.
- Not like Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran, whatever. - Mhmm.
But it's gotta be someone else that's just as big,
that I haven't been paying attention [to].
But I've s...
Gotta see, scrolling like, Instagram, Facebook.
Yeahh.
And like Shawn Mendes's name popped up a few times.
I was like, Oh my god this guy is huge.
- Gonna re-engineer everything, guys! - Oh, man.
I can't believe I got that one right...
Shawn Mendes... What a guess.
Alright. If you get this one right, I will be so shocked.
Ling Ling Insurance has saved me.
Wait.
Oh my perfect pitch is failing me.
Oh my god!
Oh, I can't play this on piano!
I don't know...
Okay, okay, okay. Like, I...
You keep playing it, it's just like...
There's no point in it. I'm like, thinking.
I'm like, Maybe there's more clues, but there's no more.
[Can] I ask how many views are there?
This music video? 300 mil.
Oh hell, that doesn't even help.
Eddy: May 18th, this year.
I'll give you a hint, this song was kind of a meme.
It's a meme?
I just realized people can see my bookshelf.
I'm... checking there's no like,
dodgy books.
Just gonna lean this way...
Everyone's gonna zoom in now, like,
"What is that book??"
Why am I singing it? Doesn't help.
It's not Ed Sheeran.
Nah.
Dude, I didn't know who else.
Dude, knowing my knowledge, just...
I can't, like...
Here's a hint.
His first...
word of the name is, like,
the beginning of every rap dude's name.
Lil Wayne.
Yeah. Or, "Lil."
Eddy: First word is "Lil."
But it's not Lil Wayne.
- Lil Nas X. - Lil Wayne.
- Oh, I wouldn't have got, - Old Town Road.
I wouldn't have got that.
I've seen the name Lil Nas X.
Old Town— Yes, I've seen that.
But I'd never associate that with—
Well, I don't know the piece.
Don't know the song!
(both) Piece.
Let's do one, one last one.
Let me see which one.
This one has 1.5 billion views.
10 months.
- Ohh! - In 10 months. Are you ready?
No.
Let's get to the famous bit.
Too much monotonous rap.
Oh, it's rap!
Oh but dude, this is literally the famous bit.
Are you ready?
Oh actually?
I don't know. Like...
Drake?
♪ If your text ain't freaky, I don't wanna read it ♪
♪ And just to let you know, this punani is undefeated ♪
- That's literally what it said! - Are you actually?
I'll give you a hint.
There's 3 artists and a DJ.
So 4 artists in this song.
Are you serious?!
If you can guess one of them right, that counts.
- Steve Aoki. - Nah.
Dammit.
- Marshmello? - Nah.
Dammit.
What other DJs are there?
Rihanna?
N...No??
Nicki Minaj.
...No.
Okay! My brain is working now.
Getting closer.
Ah, what's their name??
Here, I'll play one second of it out.
That can't help me.
Alright, the editor can block this out.
Yeah, what's that chick's name?
That, um...
Cardi B!
Yeah!
- That's the one. - Yeah.
That's the one.
This song's called Taki Taki.
Nah— Wow, this is... so hard.
Alright, guess who this is.
Okay, guys.
Well I got like, four and a half.
I'm... I'm actually impressed.
Hope you guys enjoyed this very
makeshift and different episode,
venturing into the...
- very scary territory of pop music. - I know.
