On one hand, what’s happening here is very simple: Rock Band’s singing feature just senses pitch, not words, so it’s perfectly reasonable that a flute—or indeed almost any instrument—could do the trick. On the other? This is art.

The musical cosmos have been tilted out of balance for quite a while now, violently thrown askew sometime between when the first fake guitar rolled off an assembly line in China and the first time a child recognized the Beatles on the radio as “that song from my Xbox!” Today, as we watch a young lady with a flute totally pass for a Very Serious Yelling Man with a facial tattoo, it feels like, in some small way, order has been restored.
