The rubber chicken version is actually in tune, but the trains are more fun to look at.

Hm. The chicken is more in tune than the train, but…
I have a classical musician living behind and a couple of doors down from me, and I occasionally hear rehearsals for things like a baroque aria for soprano and trumpet (amazing!), and this summer, a violin quartet was doing the Pachelbel canon, sans cello. I just sit back with a cold drink and close my eyes.
ETA; this version was rather different …

Good grief! Really?
It’s Thomas the Tank Engine, actually. (@Rusty_Blazenhoff)
‘Thomas the Train’, honestly, that could have been any one of them. (Though I’m pretty sure one of them was a Bert.)

Then why was so much of the intonation faulty?
To remind us what life would sound like without it…horribly out of tune.
I thought the dissonance added to the overall mechanical charm.

The Doppler effect is a bit jarring. Cringe worthy like when I first started practicing the classical ‘C’ flute and learning the embouchure. Over all, a great effort by the video creator.
