Don't point that thing at me!
Dammit my pants changed color and now I have different friends.
Roses are red, violets are blue
Wololo
Now they are too.
That's WOLOLOOO though, very different.
This reminds me of this one.
🎵Everyone knows about it🎵
honestly i wish we had a standard simple notation for this
Hmm, if only....
i said simple, this is like suggesting calculus when someone wants to do multiplication on paper
No, it's like suggesting writing a number using Arabic numerals when someone only knows the English words. It is simple. It's just a language you don't know. You can't really include the same information without at least this complexity.
Why are they labeling notes below the staff? What is this cheating BS? On almost all the violin of flute sheet music I was given, they never labeled notes above or below the staff.....
For rhythm we used Doom and Tek in dance classes, like doom doom tek-a-tek doom tek-a-tek, it doesn't work for melody but for rhythm it did.
But now you can hum stuff into the phone and find it a lot of the time.
We do. It's just not common enough.
Pretty sure musicians would be using that instead.
Its actually called Ecstasy of Gold
That song is in the same movie, but the one referenced is actually just called "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" Ecstacy of Gold has the lady going "Ahh AHHHH aHAHAh" and The Good The Bad and the Ugly has the "wahwahwaaahhhhh".
For further context/clarification, both of these songs/audio stings are from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

This is the song, literally just titled 'Main Theme' from TGTBaTU, that actually features the 'wah wah waaaah' vocals... but variations of that recur in the movie as just isolated stings, in certain scenes... not sure if its literally the same recording or not.
It first plays in the intro sequence of the movie, with the stylized credits.
The first part of the sting is ... some kind of wind instrument, i think different ones are used for different octaves/registers, then followed by a vocalist for the 'wah wah waaah' in similarly matched octaves, differing depending on the mood of the scene.
The iconic sting... also, I think, features in other songs in the soundtrack at a few points, serving as a kind of motif, or base structure for a lot of the movie's soundscape, I forget what the fancy pants 'I have a degree in music' term for it is.

This is 'The Ecstasy of Gold', the song with the incredible female operatic vocals, that plays at the final confrontation at the end of the film.
...
In conclusion, both songs/stings are from The Good The Bad and The Ugly.
Also, as a bonus, here's Metallica's version of Ecstasy of Gold:

Yes, its still on youtube, haha, fuck your copyright bs Metallica.
Well now you've triggered a mighty hunger for spaghetti westerns
I love the Danish Symphony Orchestra rendition of The Good The Bad and The Ugly suite. The Modello commercials play an excerpt of The Ecstasy of Gold from the soundtrack which I feel is superior to the main theme.
To me that version is second only to Carolina Eyck's rendition on the theremin.
Yusssssss wild eyck!
We don't need no stinking badges!
Man, I went on such a journey to find this when I was like 11 during the fledgling years of the internet. I was so stoked when I found it. I used to listen to it while on mIRC.
I mean that's what I thought of.
I tried finding a song from Warframe the other day, and after a while, I asked in the discord group, I explained it as female choir singing "ooooooh oooh oooh" and all answers I got were songs where either male or female voices sing "aaaaaaahhhhh". Goddamn useless. (I did find it by myself later on).
