I heard vaguely about an ocarina reference on an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, not that I've seen it. :pendant:

I thought of another one! There is an english style ocarina in Jim Hensons's Dark Crystal. I can't remember what those creatures are, the ones who raised the female gelfling, but one of them was playing an ocarina with six holes on top. It's the scene where the female gelfling introduces those other creatures to the male gelfling, and there's some sort of celebration, I think. I haven't seen that movie in a long time, but I just remember that one scene.

I have seen an old dial ocarina. The dial changed the key of the instrument, not the note.
I guess I'll have to make a section for TV shows too.
I wish I knew which episode.

EDIT: I went with the newest GeGeGe no Kitaro movie because I cannot seem to find any footage of Kitaro using the ocarina to summon Ittan Momen in the 1984 version or any other.

I can send you part of one of the episodes where he summons him. But it's a little while in the part to show it ^.^; Still a good anime though :D

5:14-5:20, time when he pulls it out to when he puts it away.

Here you go for the list! :cookie:

Wow. He uses the ocarina to summon, turns it into a staff, then uses it as a pen in that episode. ROFL

I know XD It can turn into a whip (or so I heard) and play music on it which has the power to deal damage certain ghosts. (also what I heard from Wiki)

Its a fairly good anime :D I loves it ^.^

Always happy to see more media references. Thanks Rin! :kiss:

I still laugh at the Lexx clips. She doesn't hold it like a transverse but has
both hands on one side to cover up the fact that she is not actually playing! :XD:

where is the source on "ocarina solo" from 1907.

I thought 1907 was part of the "silent movie" era?

I saw it mentioned on a UK website that also talked about Maynard G. Krebs, but I confirmed it using The Internet Movie Database. Sound Mix is by Cinematophone and it seems to be in the Synchronized To Record / Early Sound section. I would assume that would mean it has sound.

The Original Ocarininja.

In Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu, the ocarina was mentioned again in episode 3 of the "DELUXE" series. Link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nIEyFN4x0AA

So, I watched the Minish Cap clip, and noticed that that song he plays is the same as the hidden flute's song in one of the Mario games *forgets which one*

I can't find a clip of it being used, but in .Hack//SIGN, the characters use a "Sprite Ocarina" to teleport from one area to another. I don't think it's ever actually played though - they just hold it up in the air and warp.

I added Tu Vuo' Fa' L'Americano, which is a fun song in and of itself. Ocarina starts at 1:52, but you can see him pull it out of his coat pocket a bit earlier than that.

hey moonsyne theres another ocarina in bleach episode 129. they're sitting in the car and a little girl is playing it. Here's a clip: it's about 9 min into it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MS_xHz7lkg

actually, there are ocarinas in bleach episodes 128-131, but they're all the same exact ocarina except for the one in 129 and 1 at the very end of episode 131, so iono if u wanna include them....

Just a heads up, I am slowly making my own video clips, with intro and endings, and am replacing the links to other people's videos with my own created ones.

This is mostly because 1- Some Youtube videos have been taken down
2- Some are too long and 3- It's spiffy!

Poor excuse for an ocarina-player.
Speaking of "Sprite Ocarina", there was one of the lemon-lime softdrinks which had an ad on television a few years ago that was spoofing Zamfir (the famous panpiper) album ads with a parody ad for an ocarina player. I remember seeing it on broadcast television sometime in the early 2000's. Clayzeness used to have it up on their site but now I can't find it.
