At least it's live though.
Then you know that all the songs sound a bit the same. Atleast the tempo.

Oh shit, I just noticed this.
This is an eye opener for me.

It's something called a kazoo, a little instrument you blow into that makes that odd sound.

fuck
I laughed like crazy when Let It Be transitioned to Under The Bridge.
Poker faaaace (Come on Barbie, let's go party)
Why did they leave out Don't Stop Believin'? Also they forgot Feeling This by Blink 182. (It was in my head the whole time)
What song is the jingle on the kazoo from?

Kids by MGMT.
They just played all the songs in the same key. Alot of those songs are played in a different key than the 4 chords they were playing. If you play the coresponding notes while in a different key the song will pretty much sound the same unless you compare them side by side.
To explain:
play this video at 1:16 then play the OP's video at at 3:21. You can hear the difference.

They forgot Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
Well obviously all songs have a similar melody or tune, and changing the tempo of how you play to match it would make it sound alike. It's like saying that all languages have a meaning.

Obviously... no not really.
This is so true.
The same happens with [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZHw9uyj81g]Canon[/url]
I discovered that many songs use either the full or parts of the chords from canon.
Some of them are Alfred jodokus kwak (dutch) [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoqroU8d2k4[/url]
and the ending music from Wario land 3: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dolMmnyBT-s[/url]
the first three of the chords in this video are the canon chords transposed down by one.
OH MY THEY did MGMT! Didn't see that one coming!
