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.

Have you seen that South Park where the kid can air play his video guitar? That one was cool. I've got a question for Kelly. Have you Played that new Mario Bros. for the Wii, and if so, do you recomend it?
I don't watch south park very often but that scene where the kid air plays the song on the play ground made me laugh harder than most anything I have seen.

I like the new Mario a lot (got it early because of my job). I'd recommend it, especially if you have people to play with.
