Yakety Sax.mid

Yakety Sax.mid is a midi rendition of the Benny Hill theme song, Yakety Sax.

However, it is slower than the original song, and has a glitch where most of the instruments in the midi file will load as Grand Acoustic Pianos.

Luckily, this glitch can be easily fixed if the instruments are changed into the same instrument again.

Interestingly, the midi file has seven unused Grand Acoustic Piano tracks.

The midi file lasts for 3 minutes, 4 seconds (3:04). It plays at 192 BPM.

Appearance in Vinesauce Joel's Windows Destruction

In part 2 of Joel's remake of Windows 98 Destruction he did in 2018, he accidentally deletes all of the Market (Sell and buy) messages on a Swedish Bulletin Board System (BBS) that dated back to the late 90s and early 2000s.

Because of this, Joel then decides to play a midi file as a dirge, in order to mourn the loss of internet history...and chooses Yakety Sax.mid, the opening theme to Benny Hills. However, it ended up being slower than normal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsNNzJADDlA&t=5440

Whilst listening to Yakety Sax.mid, he draws a picture of a grave for the BBS he destroyed, and later admits that he is genuinely upset that he accidentally deleted an entire BBS.

Interestingly, throughout the entire midi file, he never commented on the midi being slower than normal, unlike most other times, where he has commented about other midi files he has listened to in the past.

He did not download Yakety Sax from a website on stream; instead, he got Yakety Sax from a collection of midis given to him off-stream, which can be found on Archive.org in a .zip folder.

Yakety Sax.mid in Shareware Madness (Part 9)
Yakety Sax.mid returns alongside the other collection of midis Joel downloaded from his Windows 98 Destruction Remake in Shareware Madness (Part 9).

Joel rediscovers his midi collection & plays a few of them, with Yakety Sax.mid becoming his favorite immediately upon playing it:

Later on in the stream, Joel attempts to change Acres.mid, the midi track that plays on the main menu of Power Games for Windows 3.1 to Yakety Sax.mid by overwriting the midi file & renaming Yakety Sax.mid as Acres.mid.

However, unlike other midi swaps done in the same stream, this doesn't work, as the original Acres.mid is embedded in the program:

Shortly afterwards, he pretends that the midi file is playing as the Power Games main menu music:
