Not quite as funny, but arguably a better tune and their other big hit:

I'd seen that before. Focus is a Dutch rock group and the keyboard player, Thijs van Leer, was also in the group Ekseption.

In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments.

Here's one by a well known Dutch jazz pianist, Louis van Dijk.

This doesn't feature much keyboard work, but it certainly features the keyboardist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpV5InLw52U#movie_player

 

And this demonstrates perfectly why we had to get past the age of cocaine. With drummers playing that quickly, guitar players could not keep up; and punk was only a short time ahead.

 

In the second Focus clip, I have to admit I am impressed with the guitarist. Never really considered them much before,as I don't think that I've ever heard anything other than Hocus Pocus.
