We owe a monumental debt of gratitude and a HEAVY shout out to Hale Centre Theatre for providing the set, the elaborate costumes, the harpsichord, the descending piano/cello cage and, most of all, the friendliest professional team of stage people in the business! If you are ever in Utah, you HAVE to see a production there: www.hct.org .THANK YOU, AMAZING HALE PEOPLE!
Story behind the song
What if the harpsichord from the 1770s hit headlong into the talk box from 1970s? What if J.S. Bach and Jackson 5 met up and just jammed? Would they jive? Can you dig it? These are the kind of far out questions we asked ourselves as we laid down these licks and cut this film. We decided to put together a gig with two wigs in dandy attire and two hep-cats in some funkadelic threads to see if it would fly. (Incidentally, Steve's 1770/1970 alter egos are "Sir Reginald von Sharp" and "Scooby" while Jon's are "Duke Johann van Keymeister" and "Phil.")
Presenting… "I Want You Bach" - Jackson 5's funky "I Want You Back" mashed-up with 5 illustrious themes written by J.S. Bach. (See if you can catch them all - winner gets a free disco ball…which will be faxed to you).
All the sounds you hear were created by the instruments shown - including the words "I Want You Back/Bach" simulated by a "talk box" (popularly used in the 1970's, but never with a cello!) Here's how it works: Steve plays cello notes through a micro speaker built into a foot pedal, the sound then travels through a tube and into his mouth where he shapes the notes into actual words. (Google "talk box" to learn more - it's pretty groovy.) To our knowledge, the likes of electric cello, grand piano, harpsichord, Baroque cello, talk box, and kick drum have never gigged together. Until now. It's totally the battle of the 70's - the 1770s and the 1970s…can you dig?
Phil is tickling the ivories of a custom-built hybrid grand piano, while Scooby shreds on a custom 5-stringed electric cello complete with a sidecar kick drum. Conversely, Sir Reginald is playing a circa-1700-replica Baroque cello (no "why don't you fix it?" jokes, please), and Duke Johann is playing an actual harpsichord that was built and designed by Hale Centre Theatre. In fact, nearly everything you see in this video was provided by Hale Centre Theatre - from the sinking Piano/Cello platform down to the disco duds of Scooby and Phil opposite the Scarlett Pimpernel robes arrayed upon Johann and Sir Reggie.
We filmed this using 4K resolution (a huge step up from 1080p and quickly becoming the new "high def"), allowing for more freedom and flexibility to zoom in and out of static shots (which helped us create the illusion that two different versions of Jon and Steve were jamming together.)
Let us know what you think in the comments below! If you liked it - don't forget to flog the "thumbs up!"
And if you've read this far into the description you're invited to either an evening of highbrow hobnobbing with Sir Reginald von Sharp and his entourage or a night of sick roller-skating with Phil and his dancing mustache. Please choose a 1770s/1970s alter ego name.

[@carlosenriqueulloa]

Now that I think about it, there must be some awesome jam sessions in heaven...

[@endergeek236]

chills!

[@jonathanbrandow9959]

Some Bach and David Bowie?

[@mjcandy9153]

Jonathan Brandow Bach would eat Bowie for breakfast and shit KC & The Sunshine Band

[@icebergmike27]

LMAO!!!

[@alwaysfighting4355]

More like, "There will be some awesome jams when the piano guys get to heaven!"

[@Kelarys]

I am personally offended that this doesn't have over 100 million views. This is outrageous Still my favourite piece you guys have done and in my eyes one of the best mashups of all time

[@noahfrost225]

Their other best mashup is the one they are not legally allowed to have on their channel (Love Story meets Viva la Vida). While they KIND OF included the riff from Viva la Vida in their legally usable "Love Story" cover, they only included JUST ENOUGH to not violate whatever deal they made.

[@heleenzuidhof8780]

This is indeed one of the best covers they ever did.

[@Nooticus]

Absolutely!!!

[@ldavis1977]

Me Too

[@Sacto1654]

I remember reading a long time ago that Johann Sebestian Bach was a VERY forward-thinking musical composer for his time, to say the least. The fact this video so successfully blended the music of the Jackson 5 and Bach showed just how Bach's music is in many ways still relevant today.

[@RahilSethi]

So is Michael Jackson! Please don't forget that he was the only one who really popularized the pop culture such that pop music before and after him were bland in comparison to his. He was the true King of Pop PS: If this was only Michael's music, it would have been still popular; on the other hand had they blended music of some other pop artist instead, it wouldn't have been this amazing to listen to. It was only when Michael's music was introduced, this music became catchy.

[@CastleGraphics]

Please. Know your music if you are going to spout. This wasn't even written by Michael, or performed by him except as part of the Jackson 5. This was written by The Corporation and intended for other groups before the Jackson 5 picked it up.

[@jfrv2244]

Sacto1654 no. not really. bach was actually getting behind his time. he lived at the end of the barroque period but he kept using "olden" musical forms ,like fugues, at wich he was extraordinally remarkable though.

[@medfordunitedmethodistchurch]

Also, Bach died in 1750 so is this really 1770s meets 1970s?

[@davidriggs3360]

Xtrem _423 I believe Bach stuck to the "olden" musical forms as, they were more challenging. Some people disliked his music because of its complexity to play. The "style gallant" was coming into fashion which was a bit less complex for the performer. It wasn't much of a challenge for Bach to compose or play in this style so....he chose NOT too.

[@medfordunitedmethodistchurch]

Johann Sebastian Bach died in 1750, so...

[@flynnryan]

Fuller House had an episode with a similar gag. They signed up for a 70's cruise... turned out not to be funky 70's but in your 70's. yet Lee Majors (Six Million Dollar Man / Fall Guy) and I forget the name (Bionic Woman) were on the boat.

[@BlushGush]

LOL YAS

[@RipTard]

Oh man, the classical funk!

[@vspirit23]

RipTard If I'm not mistaken, Bach was a Baroque musician. So yeah, Baroque Funk! Awesome arrangement nonetheless!

[@drazzz7984]

I think Baroque music is different from Classical music

[@020981acw]

Your absolutely right, Baroque period and Classical period two different types of music.. ..

[@DanceMyStyle]

Guys classical also refers to the genre, not just the period...

[@countertony]

Jesse Harte In any case, the dress styling feels late-C18th, and imitation in music didn't stop dead in 1750. I suspect the Bach in question might be CPE, not JS, which would fit the 1770s.

[@BritneyRuotolo]

I never knew a harpsichord could sound so hip ;)

[@Pianino1213]

Do you know what is this song from 0- 0:21 ?

[@markfowlermusic]

Pianino1213 I think the music up until 0:40 is composed by the piano guys... Though could be wrong.

[@Pianino1213]

ohh ok THANK YOU !!

[@riskeworldstage5422]

Great ear. I was going crazy trying to place 2:04, but now that you mention it, it does sound like a slight restyling of Invention No.8 in F. Thanks for that.

[@rebamclooney475]

I am a big classical music fan, and this was amazing! Please do more covers. You prove that classical is not boring! Love you guys

[@pianoaround]

yeah but this isnt really classical... You are right though, they bring a classical flair to the masses. reba mclooney

[@rebamclooney475]

Piano Around the World yes, i know... but it spreads the "classical vibe" to many who do not like or respect it. (there were some infamous Bach motives in it though, so I guess that is more classical than usual?)

[@horsedisposal]

*baroque

[@IanRigbyIMRP]

This is funk on a harpsicord

[@rebamclooney475]

***** but it's still under the classical music genre as a whole. I'm being generic so yeah...

Omg, everything about this was so entertaining. I love what you did with Minuet in G, and all the transitions (oh yeah, and the costumes, haha) XD

Gentlemen --- You definitely went for Baroque in this truly amazing smash of musical styles. Your effortless display of talent with a heavy dosage of humor was more than enough to brighten an otherwise leaden, late wintry day. Not certain whether Johann Sebastian transcended the Jacksons, or vice versa; however, the outcome was never in doubt: a melodic tour de force that exceeds most of your other musical offerings (in itself, not a facile endeavor). My humble thanks ... .

+Lusi Yang You need help! It's their taste. They have the right to do whatever they want to. I initially didn't feel there was a proper blend, but the music grew on me. The reason I kept coming back is because of the Michael's music they played.

[@kristalcuthill1338]

[@birkeimagestudiosbrickcine6428]

[@JensengTea]

I would totally watch this live.

[@stephabee]

I had the opportunity to indeed see this live, and it was wonderful :)

[@CinematicTechnologies]

When musicians can mix these extreme opposite genres and somehow write a song that works, they would be considered supreme professionals.

[@2cute4u_doge]

This song brings such unimaginable fun. The arrangement and genius put into this is astonishing and completely utmost insane. Who wouldn't love this? Completely wipes away all my worries, never thought I could get high off music. 9999/10

[@graceakodjetin2959]

[@legofreedom1]

[@wwvvvvvww]

It's common sense to "thumb up" ThePianoGuys' video before even start watching it :)

[@jencypetersen3410]

Wait a minute PianoGuys was that a real harpsichord? I've always wanted to play one of those, ever since I was 3! When I started playing piano!

[@fiercenuggets3530]

Jency Petersen yea it's real my teacher showed us it and she knows the piano guys

[@wilfdarr]

It's lagit. You buy them in kit form and build them yourself. They need to be tuned about 10 times more than a piano so if you do find someone who has one they are usually guard it jealously concerning who plays it, but if you explain that you know a song that just needs to be played on a harpsichord (Chopin was my Golden Ticket) then they will gladly let you play. Played my first one when I was in highschool, our band was traveling and one of the teachers on the coast had one; and the music teacher at collage let me play his quite a bit, even though I wasn't in the music program. They do sound wonderful, but at the same time are extremely limiting. Hope you find one soon.

Ya it's lagit. you buy them in kit form and build them yourself. They need to be tuned about 10 times more often than a piano, so if you do find someone who has one, they are usually quite jealous about who they let play it, but if you explain that you have a song that just needs to be played on the harpsichord, they will almost always be happy to share their toy (Chopin was my Golden Ticket). Played my first one in high school, our band was traveling, and one of the teachers from the one of the other schools had one; The head of the music department at my college also had one, and he let me play it quite a bit even though I wasn't in the music program. I think he was in fact bored of it. You see, they do sound wonderful, but are extremely limiting compared to a piano. I do hope you get to play one soon.

[@BYUpro]

Wilfred Darr Chopin's music wasn't composed for harpsichord! They had pianos by then. The well-tempered clavier is though, and most keyboard baroque music is.

[@kaoru1998]

By @@BYUpro - The well tempered clavier was written for piano - well, the precursors of the modern piano, that is, which are the pianoforte and the clavichord for example. It was written to demonstrate the new tuning called even temperament.

[@zomkayy]

Thank the Lord for the Internet. You Sirs have won it.

[@csaltersign]
