Chords for Writing Songs with MORE Dumb Instruments

This video is sponsored by Aura.
A video so nice we're doing it twice.
Welcome back to Sully Makes Poor Financial Decisions.
A few months back I started this channel off by buying a bunch of dumb instruments
and attempting to write a song using them.
Well it went over so well the first time, we're back at it again.
My wallet hates me, but not as much as I hate myself.
Let's unbox some instruments!
So many people in the comments are always telling me I look like Weird Al,
so you know I had to pick up an accordion.
This is a kid's accordion because I am a child. _ _ _
Hey!
I can play one song on it, it's great.
[D] _ _ [Em] _ [N] _
That's all folks!
I'm sure I can work this into a song somehow.
This one has been marketed as both a jaw harp and a Jew harp.
I don't know which one it is and at this point frankly I'm too afraid to ask.
I love when instruments don't come with instructions because they just assume I know how to play it.
_ Ow.
Ow!
God!
How the [E] heck do you do this?
_ Oh, I got it going now.
So far my lips hurt from doing this so I don't know if that means I'm doing it right.
_ _ Alright, we're getting the hang of it.
If this segment of the video was any shorter than half an hour, just know I edited a lot out.
Alright, my mouth's sore.
Moving on!
Alright, so there isn't much to this one but it's fun as hell.
_ Alright, we could definitely incorporate this into a song.
So I believe this is supposed to be a musical calculator,
but I don't read Chinese so I don't know what it says.
Oh fantastic, the instructions are in Chinese too.
I love it!
And there are no batteries.
Fantastic.
I'll [Bm] be right back.
Ah!
[B] Ah!
Why is it already playing [E] music?
Please stop.
Please- Thank God. _
This is not music.
_ _ [Db] _ Help!
How do I make it make music?
_ _ Ah!
I did it! _
_ Oh, music to my ears.
_ [F] You know what?
I love this, even when it's screaming Chinese at me.
Oh, it's the long-awaited sequel to the cat piano.
_ [Bm] It's a cat guitar.
And I know this begs the question, can Sully play guitar?
_ No.
I'll have to look up some tutorials if I plan on playing this thing.
You know, I [F] don't play guitar but that sounds out of tune to me.
[Ab] _ There we go.
This thing is really low quality.
It's almost like it's made for kids.
Speaking of made for kids,
now this may just look like an ordinary clarinet toy for kids,
and a lot of [N] these toys have built-in songs.
You know, you got your classic Oh Susanna, Frere Jacques, Yaki Doodle.
But this toy advertises that it includes songs such as Baby Shark,
Lemon Tree, which I believe was infamously written by a guy whose girlfriend died after crashing into a lemon tree.
So, perfect material for a kid's toy.
And then there's one just called Naruto Medley.
I'm just gonna take a shot in the dark and say they probably didn't license these songs.
Alright, let's see what this thing has to offer.
And it needs batteries.
_ _ I don't know what song this is.
Is this [Db] copyrighted?
I'm loving these jams. _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ So do these buttons not do anything? _
Whoa, you actually have to blow into it.
What?
Let's play everyone's favorite game, How Fast Can Sully Get Copyright [C] Claimed?
_ [Fm] _ _ I'm gonna pass out.
I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with this thing, but we'll figure it out later.
Alright, I don't know if this counts as an instrument, but y'all remember Tooth Tunes?
This is from 2007, and someone has kept it in its original box all these years.
Not anymore.
This either doesn't have batteries [Dbm] or the batteries don't work.
It's from 2007. _
Oh my god.
_ _ [G] _ Please don't copyright claim me.
I'm not- I'm not using this- I'm sampling this song,
because that's legal, right?
Everyone does sampling nowadays.
[Bb] _ _
_ I'm realizing now, I don't know if I can use any of this footage without getting claimed.
The poorest financial decision of them all.
How about this guy?
It's a didgeridoo.
Not even gonna be able to fit this in the shot.
Look at that.
It's_
tempting.
I don't know how to [Gbm] play this! _ _
[Dbm] Whoa!
Apologies to everyone who's tried-
_ [Ab] Guys, wake up!
It's time for school!
[D] _ [Ab] I have practically no use for this thing, but I still love it.
Alright, this next one is straight from Japan.
It's called a Pachi Pachi Clappy.
Some websites translate it to Pachi Pachi Crappy, which I find hilarious, because I'm a child.
Alright, let's open this bad bitch up.
Ugh, it's so stupid.
Look at his little mouth.
Round of applause for dumb instruments, everyone.
I also don't know why he has ears, but that's_
that's a topic for another video.
Then we got a little duck call.
If you follow me over on TheRealSullyG, you might know that I bought some bootleg automatons from China a while back, and I hated them.
Turns out they made more designs, and I bought them.
So naturally, it doesn't work.
Oh god, that's terrifying.
That is some nightmare fuel right there.
Let's see if the pig's any better.
The pig's mouth barely opens, but it's kinda cute.
_ _ Oh, it's an automaton, but with much less range and functionality.
Truly a dumb instrument.
Alright, we'll figure out how to put those into a song.
Alright, this final instrument I am very excited [B] about.
_ This is called a Wham-Ola.
I believe this was popularized by Les Claypool of Primus, you hear it all the time in the [Eb] South Park opening.
And this baby is made to order, because you cannot just walk into a shop and say,
One of your finest Wham-Olas, please.
In order to make this thing work, we're gonna have to go grab an amp.
Found one!
Plug in the Wham-Ola.
Oh, okay.
_ [E] You know, this may be a dumb instrument, but it's a [Ab] cool dumb instrument.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah!
Oh no, I think it's pretty cool.
And once again, we have come to the point where I have to somehow make something out of all this nonsense.
Can he do it this time?
We'll see.
[E] Alright, let's do it again.
[B] I can't write a radio [Bm] hit, can't play guitar, can't say four.
[E] But my songs will [G] go down in [B] history when the catchiest [Em] part was written for me.
Simple!
_ Simple! _ _
Simple!
_ [G] _ _ [B] Simple.
[Bm] _ [Em]
So you're an avid musician, wanna write a hit song, but only wanna [Bm] put in half the work.
[Em] Well if you're in this position, you don't have to be strong to take advantage of this legal work.
Just [D] go to Spotify and find a [B] song that's real nice, [A] and claim a portion as your own, [B] become the next Vanilla Ice.
[Em] It's a sample, not a rip-off, and I fully defend it,
Has a floating word description, and you [Bm] can play it.
Fans, and musicians [Em] all alike, stand infringing [G] copyright.
They're saying that you better watch what they can kiss [B] my, cause my song's number one.
I [C] can't write a radio hit, [A] can't play guitar, can't say four.
[Em] But my songs will go down [C] in history when it's written [D] for [Em] me.
Ba-ba-da-da-da-da-da-da [C]-da-da-da-da-da-da [B]-da-da-da-da-ba-ba-ba.
Song is number [Ab] one.
Copyright police, [Em] you're under arrest.
Yeah, this time I understand.
