Not only did crowds not like it, but he ended up getting attacked by an Italian organ grinder's pet monkey. He had a bass drum on his back, a guitar in his hands, a harmonica in his mouth, and a bicycle horn at his feet.
In "Bart Gets Famous", Homer has a flashback to his teenage years where he played in a one-man band (and tried to do a cover of "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells). Bugs Bunny did this several times in various Looney Tunes shorts, often using his prehensile ears to play additional instruments. This turns out to be a disadvantage when he encounters a scary baby and tries to hide, because he can't move without playing a tune. In the earlier Pixar short Tin Toy, the eponymous toy is a one-man band. In a short called One-Man Band, there are two of these competing with each other. One man band 11 serial plus#
Then, in the song, she plays one or two instruments plus the sampler. Brazilian singer/songwriter/musician Ana Sucha is a mix of this trope and I Am the Band in her live performances: Before playing each song, she records some instruments' lines/riffs/beats in a foot-controlled sampler.A straighter example of this is his Songmobile, a vehicle made of musical instruments, but even that still requires the user to be praising God for it to work, and interestingly, Psalty said the Songmobile was designed primarily to help write songs actually performing them is a secondary purpose. Kids Praise: In a supernatural way, Psalty the Singing Songbook himself qualifies, as musical song accompaniments spontaneously start around him when kids near him praise The Lord.Ray Davies plays one in the video for The Kinks' song "Do It Again".Australian singer/songwriter Xavier Rudd sings, plays slide guitar, didgeridoo and percussion all by himself.John Schooley & His One Man Band plays guitar and sings while playing the drums with his feet.Jazz musician Roland Kirk would often play three saxophones at once.He plays all these instruments and is still able to walk around the city squares he performs in!.He plays the guitar, tambourine, kazoo, drum, harmonica and bike horn as well as singing! Robert Johnson could play melody, rhythm, and bass line on his guitar, stomp his foot to give a drum part, and sing, all simultaneously, acting as a one-man five-piece band.Some church organs, also, especially late 19th/early 20th C.
Basically the whole point of theatre pipe organs (properly called ' unit orchestras'). Pretty much a Dead Horse Trope these days (except for the very occasional street performer), but a Period Piece or Historical Fiction may still have them as background characters. (In fact, we have another trope entirely about them.) Of course Rule of Funny says the more instruments the funnier-and of course they're all badly tuned and played with no sense of melody or rhythm, prone to causing the person stuck in such an arrangement to tumble and get tangled in the resulting mess. Some definitions of One-Man Band define it as "being able to play two or more instruments at once." Others say " three or more instruments at once," and some purists even define it as "three or more instruments at once while able to remain mobile while cranking out the jams." "At once" is definitely the real key phrase needing to be emphasized here while it's true that, through the magic of overdubbing, such musicians as Todd Rundgren, Prince, Trent Reznor, and Dave Grohl have played all the instruments on some of their albums, we wouldn't refer to any of them as One Man Bands. Say you need some cheerful music to draw attention, but can't find anyone to help you.
