Randy Jackson something something Randy Jackson.
Cool vid but couldn't get past four whistles.

stevegarbowski		2012-05-15 03:46:35 PM

Perfect biatch.

DrZiffle		2012-05-15 03:57:24 PM

Do you have his phone number?

Rincewind53		2012-05-15 03:58:18 PM

Until the dog can do that without her in the room, I'm calling Clever Hans on the whole thing. Notice how her body shifts towards the note.

This is what I thought. It reminds me of the horse that could do arithmetic.

Not sure why, but ~6:33 made me laugh.
/No, I didn't sit through the whole thing, just jumped forward to see if they did anything more complex than single note recognition.

Sarah Jessica Parker?

Is that Old Dog Trey? Sounds like Old Dog Trey.

cgraves67		2012-05-15 04:33:14 PM

My dog can match the pitch of an emergency siren, much to my displeasure.

chewielouie		2012-05-15 04:35:52 PM

Pretty cool. Can someone please get that dog on the phone? We need sign him up!

/Dialing his number.

NightSteel		2012-05-15 04:37:55 PM

At 0:32, the dog goes to hit what's apparently the wrong note and his whole body blinks one note towards the camera. Apparently the video maker couldn't even get their fakery right in one take.

chewielouie		2012-05-15 04:58:17 PM

He's better than this hack.

I noticed that too, and then I closed the window.

//don't complain, it's what you were fishing for...

proteon		2012-05-15 07:47:15 PM

Preferably a Genesis or Yes cover band.

roosam		2012-05-15 07:49:17 PM

FAKE! That bird toward the end was telling him which keys to hit.

HighZoolander		2012-05-15 08:02:21 PM

Perfect pitch not required. Or any pitch, really

TKM		2012-05-15 08:05:44 PM

-5 points for no dog whistle.

AlanSmithee		2012-05-15 08:57:02 PM

Not even Clever Hans good. Check out to where he's looking. The dog is picking up cues from an off-camera person.

Tax Boy		2012-05-15 10:14:22 PM

I was impressed that Dog didn't howl once at any of those high, annoying, screechy, whistle notes.

/they sure hurt my ears

Thoroughly With Foil		2012-05-15 10:26:10 PM

Yeah, pffft. My lhasa apso plays Chopsticks.

spigi		2012-05-15 11:04:57 PM

Whatever...

iron_city_ap		2012-05-15 11:23:26 PM

Good thing my band's name is Steak

TheMega		2012-05-15 11:38:35 PM

*YAWNS*

Next?

/oh right.. no "next" this is the Fark video section... *crickets*
//*less crickets*
///oh hell, now there's even less crickets
////more slashies, tho
//YEAH for slashies, at least

tjsands1118		2012-05-15 11:41:20 PM

Ah to have a large disposable income with no apparent job or required use of time.

Yep. She's cuing.

inheritancejon		2012-05-16 04:31:18 AM

cool, but agreed, need a blind-study style video to accept.

MagSeven		2012-05-16 05:39:23 AM

Even if the dog is picking up cues. IT'S A FARKING DOG PICKING UP CUES! Good paw control and he is hitting the notes. My beagle would have sat and stared at me like I was from Neptune. Pretty impressive trick

Perlin Noise		2012-05-16 08:08:28 AM

Cool ...I used to have a dog that would sing along while I played bass.

He would try his best to howl the notes while I played them. If I played slowly enough, he would hit them.

used to amaze my friends. Of course, I have no proof, that was before everything was (also) a video camera.

styckx		2012-05-16 08:27:27 AM

Is it just me or does something just seem... Off.. In a creepy way here? I was half expecting koolaid to be served.. That dog doesn't look very.. Happy.. Almost alien like. The room they are in is scummy and the wall has a shiat ton of caked on dirt and funk. Also the dog doesn't wag his tail once not even when being fed a treat.

I'm guessing this dog is abused the shiat out of and kept in farked conditions and is a side show carny prop.

chewielouie		2012-05-16 08:32:39 AM

cnocnanrionnag		2012-05-16 10:03:41 AM

The video is even more fake than you folks are giving it credit for. The dog is picking up the cues merely to touch the keyboard. Anywhere. Random. The film maker then can see the pitches touched and create the soundtrack afterward.

lohphat		2012-05-16 10:48:06 AM

It's clearly edited.

Ask yourself how many takes were discarded where the dog didn't get it right? You're only seeing the successes to boot confirmation bias.

This is how marketing works. Recognize it. Resist its siren song...
