I Literally did and he was called Mr Power, which is one of the best names a jolly, old and hyper man could possibly have. Also, he wasn't bothered if you called him andy (which is his real name), we had dull morning assemblies and he would just camp out in the music rooms to avoid them. But, occasionally he would play music while people entered and left the assembly hall and he would just jam out on a piano or guitar and improvise it as he went along.
I actually did this to the mechanical doorbell in my first house by shaving down one of the metal bars, changing the two-tone descending P5 into an º5, and it was AWESOME! (To be fair, I had recently taken my first ever full-time job teaching music theory and composition at a community college, so thrills had to be cheap and/or easy, but still…)
My dishwasher does something like this. When you turn it on it makes that perfect 5th sound, then if you want it to just start with whatever is inside you can press 'auto', and it makes the second tone from the diminished 5th - So turn on the dishwasher then immediately press auto, and it makes the 'highly effective doorbell' sound! And you are left wondering if you will ever get your dishes back.
I am impressed at the freshness and relevance of Bill's material, in spite of how long ago it came out. Hard to believe it's been 12 years since my teenage self eagerly bought this on DVD.
4th and 5th's are named "perfect" intervals because of the mathematical relationship between the frequencies - they are the most symmetrical of any intervals. This was discovered by Pythagoras in ancient Greece. I have an expensive paper that proves I learned all this useless shit (music degree), lolll
I'm probably not the only 1 who finds facts like that interesting, so it can't be 'useless'; knowledge has a purpose of enrichment, making life, & people, less banal.
C, F sharp, F natural - what it now requires is for someone to expand that into a longer melody so it can be set it as a mobile phone ringtone - creep out everyone in the vicinity :D
@purplinko Umm not sure what you are talking about. We were referencing the messed up captions at 2:56. And yes there WAS an animal on the Tree in the Bible - so can you explain what you mean?
I met him in Devon where he comes from. I'm a builder and was working on a house in Blackawton, he sauntered over, we had a chat and off he went. Nice as pie(or pasty), I had no idea who he was. A few days later Jeff Beck did the same thing, I talked to him for ages, no idea who he was. They both knew who I was, a builder, but they took the time.
Interesting point. The C64 version borrowed _directly_ from Chopin (Prelude in C Minor / Op. 28, No. 20). This information is easy enough to find as are the themes which can be compared. But, I see similarities in any case. The C64 theme reminds _me_ of something else... but I can't quite place it. Not sure if Chopin, himself, was drawing from some other tune (or perhaps I am _not quite_ remembering a tune that draws from Chopin as well...).
Play C, G, F# for instant evil..........its root, fifth and the flattened fifth (or augmented fourth as Bill says) in any scale. Was waiting for an old girlfriend in a music shop (she was rooting around for flute music) and when she FINALLY came over to me I played the devil's interval on an acoustic guitar I was holding. She wasn't impressed...........
@netsight haha bill bailey is my 2nd religion of course, with guitar being the 3rd and football being the 4th....and yeah its the scientologists who have the strangest ideas :P
"Step away Obediah! The devil dwells within!" Snort! I am completely in love with Bill Bailey.
Imagine having person like this as your music teacher.
I would be a musical prodigy.
Nobody would fail
The number of Chart topping bands from the UK would have definitely increased lol
Had one pretty darn close :)

He's such a random mix of clever and ridiculous
Yes, that's what makes him rather unique and at the same time one wants to take him home like a big teddy bear (or a big kid) and cuddle him.....lol!
Clever and ridiculous mix wel for a comedian
Almost 900,000 views on a sketch about a doorbell, that's the genius of Bill Bailey!
1:42 First time I've heard a heckler use the heathen card.
He shouted out 'Evil!' because Bill has another great, funny song (from his earlier stand-up tour) that is based on evil.
You are wrong.

This is absolutely Brilliant.
690,000 subs, not bad
* *Bill* iant
@Stormtrooper1488 or quite a low number of new views who check the comments, and this reply, in the space of a month...
I feel like watching every Bill Bailey clip on UA-cam and commenting “Bill Bailey is so underrated, he deserves more recognition” in-fact I might !
I am impressed at the freshness and relevance of Bill's material, in spite of how long ago it came out. Hard to believe it's been 12 years since my teenage self eagerly bought this on DVD.
My mum bought this when I was around 10 - 13 years old. And we watched this sooo often because he has such a different approach to comedy
A doorbell to deter unwanted visitors? 😂 I want one.. maybe two? I so want a friend like him 😂
coming from another musician, his "distinction" between diminished and augmented is doubly awesome. :)

Except the intervals vary with every key!
@@stephensmith799 Pythagorean commas, anyone?
He has a very unique approach to Humour and music👍
Hilarious... loved this guy as Manny in Black Books! I miss that show!
Going to watch his show tonight at Manchester area, first time seeing him live, long time fan of his comic genius 😁
If I could choose a brother or a dad or a step dad for my children...i would choose someone like this man.
Extremely talented! You're a legend bill, keep doing what you're doing! 👍🏼
I learned more about music on this one short clip than I ever did in school.
Mr.Bailey,....be warned. You are quickly becoming my favorite comedian and I AM a musician with a twisted sense of humor.
The man is a genius.
See- this is what a champ he is. He fucked up the interval when demonstrating the devil's doorbell, and fixed it with out anyone noticing.
Totally agree. That would make a great doorbell ring.
So nice, I liked it twice.
Brilliant as always
He seems a great music teacher
Man, I want the pope's doorbell.
I am inflamed with sexual lust...
😂👍
is it a this kind of lettchherrous lust ua-cam.com/video/m4wzJZdmelA/v-deo.html ??
And, 40 years later, he still looks exactly the same..
Gosh, I want that doorbell now!
he's a bloody genius !!
I want one of these as my new doorbell ringtone!😂👍
Quite simply, Genius!
on a different level
music theory in 10 secs with the wonderful Bill Bailey
Musical GENIUS!!😃😃😃😃
Gorgeous
C, F sharp, F natural - what it now requires is for someone to expand that into a longer melody so it can be set it as a mobile phone ringtone - creep out everyone in the vicinity :D
Ermm... 1:51 C, G, F sharp?
love this guy in little black book, i wish the show stayed a little more longer. i want to thank you guys for my making me laugh.😊
Just "Black Books", not "Little Black Book". Great series.
Now I see why Rachel Riley has a crush on him.
"I'm inflamed with sexual lust"
Said Rachel Riley watching this show.
Who da Pope? I da Pope. Who da Pope? I da Pope.
Such a clever entertainer
Brilliant.
The GOAT
"WHODAPOPE? IMDAPOPE!"
I died.
Put captions on for that bit
+@@jjammmees Food above a beautiful animal. Yep that is about right. Makes as much sense as most verses of the Bible. :)
Rip😉
@purplinko Umm not sure what you are talking about. We were referencing the messed up captions at 2:56.
And yes there WAS an animal on the Tree in the Bible - so can you explain what you mean?
All while doing that dance !
bailey. excellent as ever
The coronation street bit -hilarious!
When my hair goes into slap mode, I'm deffo getting a Bill Bailey slap head
He way he just jumps right in at the end haha

2:16 The distinguishing listener will realise that this is basically the theme from "ghosts and goblins" for the c64 ...
Interesting point.

The master ;)
"Who da pope? I'm da pope!" new ringtone, methinks!
1:53 is what the beginning of Nightmare by A7X sounds like lol
The pope´s doorbell kicks flippin butt !
Till number 5 is now opening
how come on all of the interweb i cant find bill bailey singing 'creep', i am sure i ve seen it before , it wasnt a dream
Hilarious musical lesson
Bill is as always fantastic
I THINK he should be The head Treaige nurse for us in our time of CRISIS LOL:/
OK, so the Council of Trent did NOT ban any musical chord, or call it the "devil's chord"... but this is still hilarious.
Comedy genius. The Gregorian Chant Coronation Street cracked me up
WOW, didn't know that Bill is also Father James Mitchell (The Sinister Minister (Wrestling Manager))!
Clever, clever man.
I had no idea he was so talented.
I want that doorbell
Nice.
Who da pope i da pope. That had me in tears i could not breath.
Bit of trivia for you. Black Sabbath used the Devils interval on their debut album and song 'Black Sabbath'
nice one bill lol ding dong 2019
Skip to 1:50, 0.25 playback speed...
Lost art of keeping a secret - QOTSA 👍🏻
2:08 oh lmao thats the start of the team rocket base theme
Ah, the Council of Trent.
That was a pretty decent council, if I say so myself.
Play C, G, F# for instant evil..........its root, fifth and the flattened fifth (or augmented fourth as Bill says) in any scale. Was waiting for an old girlfriend in a music shop (she was rooting around for flute music) and when she FINALLY came over to me I played the devil's interval on an acoustic guitar I was holding. She wasn't impressed...........
I hope you told her WHY she wasn't impressed - in musical terms......
She did not have a tri tone fascination 🤷
Great guy and very very funny
I want one of those doorbells where can you buy them from?
What is the type of music he starts playing at 2:16?
BLACK SABBBATHHHHH!
This dude's hair is a fire hazard
Music in Twin Peaks uses a lot of the devils interval
So does the Simpsons theme!
so does most things
Good old Jon Lord's laughing in Heaven. Or near it.
Good Lord!! Eureka!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'd love to see Bill Bailey and Clint Mansell do a sci-fi film soundtrack together
Who da pope, I da pope. LMFAO
The Pope's doorbell is impractical, but magestic.
Does anyone know what he’s playing at the end when he’s doing the church run down sound?
❤😂❤
Bill Bailey... would you be my doorbell?
At 2:16 I was suddenly transported into Final Fantasy IX
Begone Weeb! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Any tips on a good trombone slide oil please sir?
Try Tromba, a swiss synthetic brand that smells quite pleasant.
A funny man witty,intelligent too
@netsight haha bill bailey is my 2nd religion of course, with guitar being the 3rd and football being the 4th....and yeah its the scientologists who have the strangest ideas :P
Any time I see him, I just picture Rachel Riley stalking him from behind stage.
Why lol
I don't even need Bill - I just spend my entire life picturing Rachel Riley ;)
2:08 my new doorbell
2:17 The Pope's Doorbell
Thanks I really couldn't sit through 3 minutes
FABULOUS SOUND---I COULD LISTEN TO IT FOR AN AGE
I already have the most popular visitor-deterring doorbell in the world: no doorbell
Hilalrious......luv the Popes doorbell......lolol!
That Scary creepy doorbell Someone needs to make that a real thing you can buy because I want one
1:52 - Sampled!
2:17 "You rang?"
