Mr Methane is the stage name of Paul Oldfield, a British entertainer who built a stage and television act around performing well known melodies through controlled flatulence. The Blue Danube was written by Austrian composer Johann Strauss II in 1866 and became one of the most famous waltzes in the world, associated with ballrooms, New Year concerts and elegant dance scenes. Pairing that tune with Mr Methane's act turned it into a long running novelty favourite online, shared wherever a refined classic can be undercut by a perfectly timed rude performance.

Mr Methane performs The Blue Danube waltz by farting the melody in this novelty recording, used for gross-out comedy, pranks and silly classical music edits.
This is British entertainer Mr Methane performing Johann Strauss II's famous waltz The Blue Danube entirely with controlled flatulence, each note pitched to follow the elegant classical melody. The contrast is the joke: a graceful, instantly recognisable orchestral tune recreated with rude, squeaky fart sounds that rise and fall in time. Over its forty-three seconds the performance builds from the familiar opening phrases into the full flowing waltz, making listeners laugh at both the skill involved and the absurdity of hearing high culture delivered in the lowest possible way.
