Pipes on Mars
Tonight I watched the 1964 movie Robinson Crusoe On Mars. Stranded on Mars with a monkey for company, Commander Kit Draper fashions a musical instrument to entertain himself. What instrument do you think it is? Bagpipes!
Skip to 6:45 on the video:

That sounded more like a bagpipe kazoo.

Hey Greag, Let's have a battle of the bands. Here's my guy and he's kilted and in public. Let the contest begin.
I present Darth Vadar, riding a unicycle, playing the Star Wars theme with flaming bagpipes. If I can make the link on "you tube" work.

LOL. I made no claims as to the quality, just found it entertaining that they slipped that into the movie.

I like the choice of "Yankee Doodle" as the song in the movie. Blends the Scottish tradition with an American theme in a foreign world. Similar to reintroducing the kilt to the public today.

Tarheel , you're in big trouble now ( Ole Miss ) .... the guy in the movie clip was actually playing " Dixie " .

OH NO! Good folks, This is not my first mistake. I thought I made another error in 1974 but I was simply wrong then. Please feel free to chastise me for such an egregious fax paus (Southern boy does not recognize historical tune from region of his birth). The following link does not forgive or justify my behavior, it's just a glimpse into the climate of politics. Good call MacGumerait, that you (in Indiana) would know "Dixie" where I heard "Yankee Doodle" will baffle many of us for years.

In my lifetime I have ventured into more than one of the mysteries - but the making of musical instruments was not one of them.
Faced with the problem though - I suspect that the sound was dubbed and there was a kazoo involved.
