'Doorbell' - Bill Bailey

Clip from the Tinselworm DVD by Bill Bailey.

[@KhanivoreQniba]

Mr. Bailey is musically gifted, funny as hell, intelligent like no other, and wonderfully humble with it all. What an absolute wonder.

[@fionarobson-bain2518]

Augmented 4th, or diminished 5th, depending on your outlook on life. I'm dying

[@onceonly1111]

You're dying? Clearly your outlook is not so good.

[@markstevenfall]

Fiona - for your sake then, I hope yours is augmented! 😂👍🙏

[@jackkenefick2696]

surely it depends on the context of your life

Man is a pure genius, musical comedy actor all of the above, a rare talent in these uncertain times

[@sapienproductions]

Don't forget to add to that list, groovy dancer.

[@bexmjt10]

And now an astonishing dancer too add too his CV

[@digitalmediafan]

Just incredible on SCD certainly for his age

[@littleowl43]

His music classes in school would be amazing.

Bill Bailey for Emperor of the entire galaxy!

[@Mortthemoose]

Ohhhhh!! Definitely!!!! I'd vote for him!

[@connors2154]

I think musical comedy is my favorite thing

[@shmookins]

Check out Tim Minchin. And there is a great single clip called '4 Chord Song' by a different group. :)

[@wednesdaymess712]

Shadow Heart Axis of Awesome. Us Aussies are brimming with musical comedians 😉

[@DeBedschbacher]

Doc Brown it is...

[@bexmjt10]

Mine too

[@brython2]

The most richly amusing entertainer ever

[@Monkey80llx]

3 months and no comments?.. i won’t even try and write a comment in the style of the one and only Mr. Bailey but i agree wholeheartedly. As a fan of a broad spectrum of comedy from Mike Reid (wouldn’t be allowed these days, no doubt 😆) to Dave Chappelle (the rollercoaster of belly laughs to ‘can i laugh at that?!’ to the tear jerker story of Emmett Till! 😟, none have given true entertainment combined with philosophical musings and bewildering cosmic brain twisters, all with a solid laugh at the end as Bill does..every time. Too much for KZbin? Ok.. ‘Yeah, you’re right mate!’ Better? 😆

[@maier43]

Educated by laughter. Brillant.

[@introspectivedreamer3864]

Bad day? Remedy: Watch Bill 😂 😂😂

[@gaycharteris-nice1993]

Hello Bill. My name is Alex Nice. I am a big fan of yours and I love how you combine music with comedy. I have seen you on Strictly Come Dancing and I think you are a brilliant dancer as well as a musician. I am so glad you have won because you deserve it. My favorite dance that you have done is when you danced to Queens Show Must Go On. I love it how you show drama and emotion in the dance. I think you are hilarious with your comedy and I wish you lots of luck for the future. Merry Christmas and Stay safe.😀⛄

[@johnskinner3108]

Genius. I have had the pleasure of watching him perform live in Geelong, Australia

[@leejohnson3209]

This is the best music lesson I ever had.

[@anthonylees9029]

Always inspiring and enjoyable ! Bill entertains like no other . Long may he continue to do so !

[@ProjectRedfoot]

Dude I want that jacket. Also very funny. I learned about evil chords & progressions in high school. Not even catholic school lol we learned it alongside jazz

[@rubberkas2]

He is one clever talented guy !!!

[@anotherblonde]

I can't believe no such doorbells are on the market yet Mr Bailey, time you remedied it.

[@Lighting_Desk]

such musical genius. Bill Bailey and Tim Minchin would be a pronominal unstoppable duet...

[@stevenmichaelbristol2115]

LightingDesk I had to look up pronominal, because it sounded like it a word. Unfortunately, it means "referring to pronouns," so that didn't really clear things up. were you looking for the word phenomenal or something similar?

[@Lighting_Desk]

Steven MichaelBristol yes. that appears to be a Swiftkey style typo.

[@wednesdaymess712]

LightingDesk nah... Nobody has topped Tim. He's best as a soloist I reckon

[@matthewrandell5055]

Wednesday Mess I think he could write for anything but I don't think it works as well if he were to suddenly duet an old song. When he toured with the heritage orchestra he had some great new stuff but I found the new versions of old songs a bit weird

[@RestWithin]

See how they love it! Church organ music chills the soul!!!!!

[@willfomes406]

I wanna see this guy live

[@kevinlangstone609]

His BBC news theme tune is fantastic.

[@massimookissed1023]

Apocalyptic rave. *_"This is the BBC._* _Do not listen to the others!_ _They are false prophets!"_

[@Elecjester]

My outlook on life is always considerably brighter when viewing your works =)

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

Same!😊👍

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

No matter how many times I watch this, it still makes me laugh😂😂😂

[@willfomes406]

Bill: sounds like a biblical epic doesn’t it. And low the battlesbies did smite the tillslies. Me: (laughter) no I can’t (yet even more laughter) it’s too much.

[@richl6966]

He should compose a classical music piece. Anthony Hopkins has done it. He would nail it.

[@kryten88]

bill bailey is my favourite Human being. i want him to be my uncle

[@truckerallikatuk]

I need a Bill Bailer doorbell!

[@WHNorthcote]

I would love that doorbell for my home.

[@nrsrchd]

Would love to see him do Phantom of the Opera!

[@davidvernon4828]

Bill Bailey brilliant musician and dancer.😃😃😷😷👍👍

[@hefeydd_]

7 years on still brilliant.

[@macpdm]

Bloody brilliant 😀

[@scsutton1]

Funny how this ended up in my recommendations just after Bill won Strictly Come Dancing.

[@luminair11]

Luv Bill Bailey.....he has wonderful eyes for a starter!

[@lawrenceallwright7041]

Your perfect 4th followed by perfect 5th at 0:44 are the opening notes of Man Of Steel by Hans Zimmer. Who'd have thought? An epic movie theme was actually stolen from a musical joke about a doorbell by Bill Bailey. Hope you got royalties!

[@fredneedle123]

😆

[@BulletmanDoom]

You are the nearest thing to a genius I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I've not met Stephen Fry.

[@JayG666]

The evil doorbell is Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath main riff.

[@harvey19750]

Genius

[@stuartkseels]

Beware... The doorbell of the the smited one!!!

Intelligent comedy? Didn't know that still existed.

[@tat5383]

I like the Close encounters of the 3rd kind doorbell.

[@Mortthemoose]

🤣🤣 ohhh, I'd love that too!

[@staley101]

Nice to you back, Bill.

[@SergeyBirukov]

So very mysterious doorbell! Boooooo!!!

[@kimeecleaton]

Aug 4th/Dim 5th is actually more formally known as the 'Simpsons' interval.

[@sirwi11iam]

I have an abduction complex. I'm very anxious right now.

[@zilspeed]

How many houses are in this complex ?

[@RUFU58]

There was a little man in his hair!

[@xsadvillainx1499]

Rufu5 the little man in my hair is getting very, very angry.

[@adamaguire]

That doorbell will keep Jesus talkers of your doorstep!

[@Chillton]

Was hoping he'd go Black Sabbath with the Devil's interval :P

[@morphman86]

Well, their titular album, Black Sabbath, was mostly played with an inverted tritone in Dim5, so...

[@highestsettings]

He meant the song Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath on the album Black Sabbath.

[@johnlawrence2757]

We used to get that at the flicks back in the late forties before it started. Bloke used to slowly rise up from somewhere below making loud sound with lots of chords in it. No jokes though: no mic

[@Madsstuff]

bill Bailey looks exactly like my dad... wait a minute!

That was epic

[@cogidubnus1953]

[@themilitarumpainter]

What genre would the last thing he plays be? I want my own theme song

[@sheilahmercer1637]

❤😂❤👏👏👏👏👏

[@noveltycurtains]

I've not seen him use a keyboard with the manufacturer or model name written on the back of it yet.

[@massimookissed1023]

Maybe he doesn't want to be seen to be endorsing any particular brand until *Kord* offer him sponsorship.

[@lennym1273]

How about a door bell that when you press the button you hear a knocking sound inside the house???

[@miketeabag6501]

Haha, completely defeating the point of a doorbell! Love it 😂

[@matthewrandell5055]

If only GCSE Music covered them devil's internal in the context of Satan's doorbell rather than Something's Coming from West Side Story

[@rojsteph1728]

Matthew Randell thing is... It was never actually banned, there is no historical reference to the diminished 5th ever being referred to as such or being banned in fact a lot of sacred Oratorios and vocal works featuring that interval as a key feature of the harmony.

[@Nothingtoseehere997]

Did someone shout heathen?

[@MythicSuns]

probably, can't help thinking it would've been funnier if he just went "PHROOOAR" instead though

[@octavioquartio]

I heard "Evil!". But you could be right.

Lord, I can't change. Won't you fly high? Free bird, yeah? *epic solo*

Hes the Ron Jeremy of Tim Minchins

[@johnayres2303]

Has Bill Bailey got perfect pitch? I would not be surprised if he has. He seems to have an unnatural ability to play what he thinks, it’s not just practice and preparation.

[@edmnews6472]

Heaven's Doorbell by Alter Modo, google it

[@DerEchteBold]

I actually had a listen... but sorry, I can't say thank you, it's just some rather boring, or even annoying and pretty mediocre Techno/Dance/House or whatever that stuff is called. I don't even dislike electronic music in general but the drum sounds in this style are so mindnumbingly shallow and disgusting that I really have to say - You gave me bad advice! Bad, bad you ; )

[@terenchion1]

VERY GOOD MUSICIAN BUT BY GOD DOES HE KNOW IT.... VERY ARROGANT....!!

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

"Gregorian" chant does not use any harmony or "intervals" as he describes them... He is thinking of later Church music... He'd be even funnier if he knew who/what exactly he was hating/disrespecting.
