The song everybody has heard but nobody remembers the name 

I mean, In the Hall of the Mountain King is pretty easy to remember compared to the usual Concerto in F Major for Kazoo and Orchestra Op. 43579234

It's originally Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, "In the Hall of the Mountain King"

I love inspector gadget

For those who don't know: It's called In the Hall of the Mountain King! It was composed by Edvard Grieg, a Norwegian composer, in 1875 as incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play Peer Gynt. This isn't really the name of the piece in Norwegian. The original Norwegian name of the piece is "I Dovregubbens hall" which means "In the Dovre man's hall". Dovre is a mountain range in central region of Norway, and in the play Peer Gynt, Dovregubben is a troll king that Peer Gynt invents in a fantasy. In the play, Peer enters this hall full of trolls and goblins and stands before the troll king where there is an uproar against Peer. Peer comes across the king's daughter, and when they arrived to see him, the troll king gives Peer the opportunity to become a troll if Peer would marry his daughter. He agrees to a number of conditions, but in the end declined to become one. He pisses them off and gets chased down a hallway where he barely makes it out! The music sped up is the chase scene. The piece actually has lyrics like "Skal han lages til sod og sø?" which means "Shall he be boiled into soup and broth?" or "Må jeg rive ham i håret?" or "May I tug him by the hair?". Yes, it's absolutely crazy but it's meant to be satire as part of the play and ultra-Norwegian patriotism and so I can see why they're proud of it

Amazing job Elise. You are so talented.

I like how she is so energetic yet neutral.

That's pumped up kick for sure... I started singing it when you began to play. Your coming along just great... good job

There's a great version of that song done by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross in "The Social Network" soundtrack.

Those types of songs are usuallly so catchy tho and it's hall of the mountain king lol

Cool! Some of us know the name of Greig's Hall of the Mountain King. Have you ever noticed that altering the rhythm and omitting a couple of notes gives you Inspector Gadget.

My piano teacher taught me this song like 20 years ago and it was a thrill to see it become so popular.

THIS is the content yt needed. New sub

Of all the components of your VERY amusing videos, your deadpan delivery seals it. Glad I subscribed.

The vocalizing and spoon really gave me the answer: The Ballad of Elspoon. That’s the song name.

That starting shot- what a power move

Rick Wakeman ended the album Journey to the Centre of the Earth by playing In the Hall of the Mountain King as a sort of encore-great fun.

I love your videos because they always make me laugh ❤

I confirm that I have heard this. Thanks Elise. I got enlightened.

When weird goes right

My favorite thing about this channel is how it's still peak 2010s internet comedy.

One will often hear this tune when in the Hall of the Mountain King. He is quite a suspenseful fellow.

it’s actually ur mom oooh got you elise!

Like the editing 👍🏼

Ill never understand how this girls content. Its so simple, and yet so genious at the same time. Subbed 4lyfe

This video is so magical, I can overlook the fact that it's probably one of the top ten most-known classical music song names ever. Along with Anvil Chorus, 1812 Overture, Ride Of The Valkyries, O Fortuna, Fur Elise, Beethoven's 5th, Night On Bald Mountain, It's A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, and of course Linus and Lucy.

Came for the puzzle of what the song is and if I had heard it before, stayed for the absolute manic energy on display.

In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg. I don’t remember those days, but my Dad told me that when my sister and I were growing up, we would listen to this song over and over and over again because apparently we couldn’t get enough of it. I rediscovered the song two years ago, having not listened to it for probably at least ten years or something and I could see why I would have been doing that during my younger days.

Great edition.

This girl is so awesome, some composer better be composing a piece für her 🙂

me who knows the song name 👁👄👁

For a second,i thought it was 100 digits of pi-

Its called “In the Hall of the Mountain King”

hall of the mountain king aged pretty well, from movies to edit and animation, honestly loved it.

I think Elise just proved that you can play piano with anything: a box, a pencil etc etc

Beautiful

I've known this was In The Hall Of The Mountain King by Edvard Grieg since grade 2😅 Which surprised the hell out of my music teacher

I always loved this song from "Needful Things" but I can always remember hearing it here and there growing up whether in a movie, tv show or commercial even. Great performance :)

As someone who is Everybody, I can confirm that I've heard this song, but my buddy Nobody doesn't remember its name.

Fun fact: I once found out the name of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by typing into Google: "song that goes do-do do-do do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do".

As for I am a huge Apocalyptica fan, I instantly regoniced it. Well done, awesome Video!

In the hall of the mountain king, just remembered😂

You know it's a good day when Elise uploads

It’s hall of the mountain king I think. Over here in the UK it’s used in adverts for a theme park called Alton Towers a lot

Great arrangement! Just recently found your channel, love your videos!

I recognized it from inspector gadget right away. It is very catchy and stuck in my head now for no telling how long.

I went to a pretty standard middle of the pack elementary school and I had still learned about that song by age 7. We did have a great teacher though. Shoutout Herr Wewer, hope you're still alive

I love your videos! This is both hilarious and 100% accurate🤣💯

Amazing job queen Elise

My all time favourite piece of classical music.

I hear it every time I enter a room.

I actually knew this! I have very fond memories of this song playing at my grandpa's place when I was little, and then him and my dad would tell the story behind it while it played and it was AWESOME!

Awesome editing on this - wow!!

Hall of the Mountain King Brings back memories of my computer FPS game days. I used it for background music for DOOM, QUAKE, UNREAL

In the hall of the mountain king is like my personal theme. My favorite piece of music

Always comes up with the bad guy in cartoons 😂

Amazing video I love “in the hall of the mountain king” it’s such and amazing piece lol

I was so happy when I immediately knew the name! I'm not a music major or anything, i just happen to really enjoy some of the popular "classics". I know nobody cares but I just had to toot my own horn into the void lol!

This is spot on. I'm from South Africa and I've heard many times.

i already have this song in my playlist hehe

Thanks Elise! that's the song of my childhood! but uh you didn't give me the name of it so uhhh... (the part where you threw kirby got me so hard 😆)

I’ve learned this in music class a while ago. It’s called “In The Hall Of The Mountain King”

Me who loves the hall of the mountain king: 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

so much energy you could light up an entire continent

WOW!!! My 1st time seeing this young lady and I am instantly in awe of her musicianship and her creative video!!! 😁😁😁

it’s in the hall of the mountain king or something😭😭🙏 i loved this song so much as a kid

You are a kooky girl! Love it!

One of my favourite songs to play on bass

Your voice is angelic ❤

One of the few classic themes that I know, since it was used in my favorite pc game.

At first I thought, "I've never heard this song," but then it started. "In the Hall of the Mountain King." My band used to cover this song as a fanfare to start our concerts. 🤘

Lol I remember our music teacher was teaching us this on piano one day, and everyone was so surprised that the song had a name 😂

I feel like this is one of those songs that people used to hear and not know the name, but it's more well known now.

IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING! (My random bits of knowledge came in handy) 😂

I learned to play this piece on mandolin for fun

It's Hall of the Mountain King!

It seems to be a song from one of the great piano composers, like Mozart, Beethoven, Chaikovsky and etc.

Hall of the mountain king straight up an actual banger though fr. I often just turn that shit on and end up dancing

Nice editing

Wow it’s a masterpiece I love it ❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤

Where did Elise get this sense of humor? It's so unique. I kind of think she's some sort of comedic genius along the lines of Andy Kaufman. I can't think of anyone else like her.

I call it, 'That one song that goes, do do do do do do do-dododo- do do do'

Everyone: In Hall of the mountain king Me: The pi song

A lot of Norwegians, myself included, will know the name of the song as Dovregubbens Hall. Another one that many might have heard is "Morgenstemning"

Original name: Dovregubbens hall (Norwegian) Translated name: in the hall of the mountain king The composer of this masterpiece is from Bergen, one of the biggest cities in Norway

It isn’t in the hall of ten mountain king, it’s the “FIRST 100 DIGITS OF PI”

That standee poster's reflecting in the mirror gave me goosebumps 😮

The name of the song is "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" if u were wondering
