Astonishing: Play the Blue Lobster Version of the Toccata and Fugue! 🔵🦞
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Have you ever heard a blue lobster? It's a popular version of Bach's Toccata and Fugue, but something many people don't realize is that it's actually a half-step higher than the original key. It's actually in the key of D# minor.
If you have not taken my course “Learn Piano in 5 Days” yet, that would be a good starting place for you: bit.ly/3vEWAb4
If you're a musician, you know that playing in the right key is key (pun intended!) to creating a great sound. If you're trying to play the blue lobster version of the Toccata and Fugue, you should pay attention to the key and make sure you're playing in the right one.
To help you find the right key, here's a quick step-by-step guide:
1. Start with the three black keys here.
2. Go down, like that.
3. Step 2, go: BLACK BLACK WHITE BLACK WHITE BLACK
4. Now you're ready to make it super-scary and do the church organ.
And there you have it, now you're ready to play the Blue Lobster version of the Toccata and Fugue! Don't worry if it doesn't sound perfect at first, you'll get better with practice. Good luck!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
🔵🦞🔵🦞🔵🦞🔵🦞🔵🦞🔵🦞
❓ "I want to play piano, but I don't know how. What do I do?"
You have two choices. Either you can give in to the blue lobster and abandon all hope. But, the fact that you're reading a FAQ in the comment section of a UA-cam short tells me you have potential. So, I want to let you know about my "Learn Piano in 5 Days" course, which you can get here: bit.ly/3GIsUjQ.
❓️ ”I don’t get it. Why’s there a lobster?”
You're better off not getting it. But, if you really want to get it, google "blue lobster meme". It’s kinda like a rickroll but worse.
❓️ ”Why's everyone freaking out?”
Because they've been traumatized by other videos featuring blue lobsters.
❓️ ”Where can I find your other 🔵🦞 video?”
Here you go: ua-cam.com/users/shortsSZbzJ-IP88s
❓️ "What song is this?"
This is the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, by Johann Sebastian Bach. Also known as "the blue lobster song", Vamp Anthem by Playboi Carti, "the sound effect when you die in BitLife", and "the vampire/dracula riff"
❓️ "Can you tell me the names of the notes?"
Don't worry about the names of the notes. I quit piano lessons after a month when I was 9 because it was all flashcards and trying to learn note names. That stuff just doesn't work. Play music, learn songs, get fluent at the keys first. Then, the note names will come automatically.
❓️ “Why are you telling me to relax?”
Lots of viewers are coming to this video with PTSD from having seen other lobster videos. I’m trying to reassure them. This video is scary, but it’s not as scary as the others.
❓️ “Do you really have a master’s degree in piano?”
Yes.
❓️ “What's the deal with Gen Z humor?”
I'm not the one to ask. I'm 40 years old.
❓️ "What piano/keyboard is this?"
This is a Yamaha YDP-223 digital piano. It's old but they make newer models that are similar. I paid around $1500 for it in 2006.

This post was made by the Blue Lobster gang.
I wish people were as gentle explaining things in my childhood, that would’ve probably made me a lot less anxious.
Right? Why didnt they ever just explain WHY we'll need to know things insteada making us memorize things?
I believe it was actually played in D minor, however, it’s possible it was performed on a baroque era pipe organ before they had standardized tuning (A=440)
That would be a logical, historically-informed answer. But, I'm not sure the blue lobster cares about such trivialities.
i was fully prepared, completely expecting it but it still scared the ever living lobster outta me 😰

Wait, wait, wait. This lobster toccata was playing in 17xx baroque organ, which often is tuned 460hz or higher.
Thank you for trying to make a bridge between ridiculous internet memes and music history. I'm afraid you're too late, though. The internet has won this fight

That's the most calmest version of it I heard
improving my mental by listening to his voice and helping me to fight my fears, thx man ilysm
Dang I didn't think I could do this on my piano
Thank you and may the blue lobster be with you
May the blue lobster be with you as well
You unlock some of my child memories. There was this educational (french I believe) serie for kids. I know only Polish title which was "Był sobie człowiek" and you can translate it for something like "Once upon a time there was a human"
this is the best quality blue lobster i've ever seen. no pixels or anything. wow
Only the finest quality for my viewers.
Nothing is wrong with playing other keys. I appreciate this video because it motivates beginners to learn to play (the same) songs in new keys. Though i will say that sometimes its better to move it a few notes down or up, usually depending on the lead vocalist/instrumentalist.
I love how he says, don't worry it will be fine. But he shows a picture of a blue lobster that makes us more nervous
Everytime you tell me not to worry or calm down i blush a bit
I like how he's trying to keep us calm
NO NOT AGAIN I THOUGHT I'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN NOOOOOOOOO!!!
Ok
omg you're being a drama queen. It's just a quick UA-cam short. A piano lesson, in fact. And if you don't practice, you're going to be seeing that lobster EVERY DAY FOR ETERNITY IN HELL.
@@MichaelKorman is that the 7th hell????
@@MichaelKorman if I don't have a piano what should I do?
@@MichaelKorman dang
I feel chills watching this guys

I love how the blue lobster just keeps popping out and fading away
He's just waiting for the right moment to strike. Watch your back.
"Don't worry, it's gonna be fine" me jumping out of my desk 3 seconds later
I started crying. The things that blue lobster has done are unforgivable
Cant wait to troll my friends with this and scarr them for life.
Actually spooked!
Blue lobster is becoming the successor of rickroll
Y'k you're getting rid of my fear of the blue lobster- thank you
Yay. Even if my videos are useless as piano tutorials, at least they're doing some good. My suffering has a purpose now.
I was just listening to it and my heart was beating EXTREMELY fast...
I love this
Aw, thanks so much. GLad you love it
This is the first time i’ve seen someone who has the same “piano” as me
the reason there’s quotations around piano is because it’s technically a keyboard but it looks like and sounds like a piano
It's a digital piano. As far as I'm concerned, it counts
I have PTSD from this thanks for the resurgence
The only way out is through. It's called "exposure therapy."
@@rehehehehe4322 what in the Eiffel tower bro💀
my heart stopped bea-
*diez*
The fact that a 40yo knows memes makes me sub to this
Thanks i needed this on my new piano
thank you I needed this 🙏 you're a(ss)wsome
Oh no. Mixed signals. Whatever shall I do?
@@rehehehehe4322 bro what in the blue fish sticks 💀
@Cat Oh, ok
Bro that startled me
I'm suggesting you to try that one song called "final duet" you'd enjoy it *spoiler warnings for that one game.*
true
Damn i the coments are beeing so dramatic but honestly i am just happy i got to learn how to play this cool theme.
Couldn’t help from screaming, though it’s the beautiful version
this series of blue lobster should be a horror movie
I can't with the blue lobster peeping out in the background
Important question: what piano is this. What type and brand. Also I love these videos, they help me out a lot with cool things.
Thanks, glad you like the videos! This is a Yamaha YDP-223 digital piano. It's old but they make newer models that are similar. I paid around $1500 for it in 2006
Thanks 😊
"Don't worry -"
Me:*starts going crazy
This actually works!
his constant reassurance that it's "just a lobster" is exactly what makes this 10x funnier, yet still didn't prepare me for the jumpscare 💀
The lobster gently starting to appear in the background and disappearing again a few time almost sheepishly is SENDING ME. I love this.
He just wants to be your friend
@@MichaelKorman I want to be his friend too he is very cute 🥰
Its PERFECT
I was in public and screamed proper loud and nearly got in trouble
Thank you for not busting my ears out
“Black white-“
AW HELL NAW
It still sounds omazing
this unlocked a memory inside me that i never knew i had until now.
the recording only sounds like Eb minor because the organ it was recorded on originally (the trost organ in waltershausen) is tuned a semitone higher than A=440 (around A=465 iirc)
WHY DID I HAVE TO SCROLL THROUGH THIS AGAIN. NOW I HAVE TO DO ANOTHER ROUND OF THERAPY
The blue lofter video
😂🔵🦞🎹
That pitch was actually what most organ in Germany that time was tuned in (A comes out as an A#). When it comes to orchestral music with organ in the Baroque period, sometimes, the composers need either the organists to play lower or the strings to tune in a higher pitch
I’ve been playing this short melody for who knows how long already 💀💀💀
I've learned both of your videos they are amazing!
Glad you like them!
Me when the lobster shows up: *intense breathing*
Thank you, my ears are saved!
that lobster terrifies me
that stare is the most uncomfortable thing ever
I was so scared. 😰 Thanks for getting me through it.
this is where my trust starts to build
Thank you.
SO COOL
what a good day to learn the piano, ima just do his steps an- *AAAAAAAAAAA*
It's funny that i don't even need a piano 💀💀
(don't worry it's gonna be ok)
*shits in pure fear*
ITS JUST A LOBSTER HE SAYS. JUST A LOBSTER?
It was so polite! I wasn’t even afraid
Bro the way my piano teacher screwed toccata and fugue into my brain on Halloween
You still spared our ears from the deafening demon
Me when I was on that other video: "now just earrape it" thanks for realizing it when you saw it
Idc how many times you say "it's gonna be ok" I will throw my pillow across my room
I say it more to reassure myself than to reassure you
Bro blue lobsterd us kindly💀🟦🦞🟦
that blue lobster scared me🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶😨😨😨😨😨
The blue lobster is quite cute!
Nice
"It's ok It's just a lobster"
Famous last words
BLUE LOBSETER JUMPSCARE AHHHH
The way he said D#m instead of Ebm hurt me in a way I didn't think I would ever be hurt.
I don't get why so many commenters have a problem with D# minor. Would you like to explain it to me?
Not reallyyy... he started with D and then said it was a half-step up, I.e., D#m, it would've made more sense to say Ebm if had started with it in the key of E and were moving it down a half step... it's all about perspective 👏 and it's the same thing anyway so it doesn't even matter
Lobster just kicked my ass 💀💀
Did you know that blue lobsters are actually incredibly rare and go for a lot of money???!?
I actually did know how rare they are. Only because I looked it up last night.
I don't know what just happened but I can feel that this was some sort of meme LOL.
Nice piano skill👌
I like that he show lobster like if he said: if you play it wrong, I'll break your hands...
I bet watching this with headphones at max volume is like winning Russian roulette
Are we sure this is a tutorial and not him stealthily blue lobstering us
Hm, I can play along with the horror movie vibe, I suppose. But it's not terribly interesting to me.
In any case, no one's replying to you because the lobster ALREADY GOT THEM.
@@MichaelKorman aw why's it sparing me I would love its service
we got survivors here
GET BLUE LOBSTER'D
As a person who got blue lobstered at 110 db, by a discord file, I will tend to tread lightly around videos like this
dude wheres the jumpscare warning i almost had a heart attack
That makes so much more since 😂
IM NOT JOKING I TRIED IT AND IT WORKED
I've been summoned
he got me
thank you for not earraping me qmq
