  • You guys...

  • Alright, we gave a one-week...

  • - ...limit, - Yeah.

  • I can't believe it.

  • Within one week,

  • you guys submitted over 2,000 compositions.

  • is astronomical.

  • Whoa!!!!

  • I N T E R E S T I N G !

  • So yeah, we tried to uh, pick a few.

  • Dude, crochet equals 190!

  • What's 190? Do you have a metronome?

  • It's about...

  • Here we go, guys.

  • Dude, there's so much syncopation!

  • "If we can screw it slowly, we can screw it quickly."

  • Let's try again!

  • Oh...!

  • Oh, I got it, okay, I got it.

  • Whoa!

  • - That was actually really nice! - That's a fun piece!

  • I feel like I didn't do it justice at the end,

  • But I think it sounds good anyway,

  • I don't know.

  • - Wow. - Interpretation.

  • I like it!

  • - I like it a lot! - We screwed it slowly, we screwed it quickly!

  • I like how...

  • Dude, the sounds like hardcore level Ling Ling.

  • Ling Ling can play and sing at the same time.

  • Yeah, and dance and do everything.

  • Oh, there's no tempo markings!

  • You gotta keep in mind, this stuff comes up.

  • Whoa, whoa, whoa!

  • When picking a tempo,

  • - you gotta scan through the piece, because... - Look at the whole thing, yeah that's right!

  • ...it might be easy in the beginning.

  • Oh, wait!

  • Oh!

  • - Ohh...!!! - Oh!

  • Oh...!

  • Ah!

  • Wait...

  • Sorry, I saw a...

  • ...B natural, and I freaked out.

  • - I think I like shredded. - Yeah, I shredded.

  • I feel that's too slow for that,

  • - it actually wanted to be faster, right? - Yeah.

  • Ahh!

  • We went too slow.

  • I like...I can hear the Bach influences.

  • - Nice. - Nice!

  • I'm sure Ling Ling graciously accepts our tribute, to...
