That dog is very misleading :-D

 

Well, that was obviously different.:-D They obviously are using someone else's tune as they can't play a single instrument(double entendre in case anyone missed it). Is this today's version of Liberace? I have no clue, and I basically don't care. Sorry Queenie.

 

Nah - it is the opposite. I've heard they can play many instruments at once, when using other people's gear :cool

Anyhow - thought you guys might like all of the geek references in the clip.
