Australian singer Tones and I definitely took 2019 by storm through her chart-topper original song “Dance Monkey”.
In fact, it is so popular that it can be heard from anywhere even until today!
The song did not only win fans in the USA but hit the number one spot in more than 30 countries, making it one of the most successful songs of the year. But, aside from its fun and upbeat music, the song’s video is also a favorite online.
In the music video, the Australian singer disguises herself as an old man accompanied by his gang of senior gentlemen, going around town and dancing on the streets. It’s a quirky and unique concept, which is probably the reason why one man decided to follow this theme and did an impromptu piano act featuring none other than Tones and I’s “Dance Monkey”.
The old man who covered “Dance Monkey” on piano
In the middle of a crowded mall in downtown London, one “Grandpa” boldly sat in front of a piano and played the said popular hit. He may have tried to make himself look like an old man but he’s definitely not fooling anyone with his poorly executed disguise.
This only made passersby even more curious as they waited for the man to play a song. And when he did, they were all blown away.
He began playing the instrument and everyone instantly knew he was covering Tones and I’s famous song. It’s not an easy song to play, but this “Grandpa” surely knows his way around the piano keys!
Onlookers can’t help but stop on their tracks to listen to the talented and entertaining man. And when he started playing even livelier, the crowd knew they were in for a hysterical performance!
The man behind the mask
The guy playing the piano is none other than self-proclaimed Boogie Woogie piano teacher Terry Miles who hails from England. He is a talented musician who has shared a lot of videos online where he gives lessons on how to play the piano. He’s certainly a talented musician and from his public performance in London, he proved just how entertaining he can be as well!
Terry may be wearing a mask, but his charisma exudes beyond his disguise. People started to gather around the pianist, watching him as he amazingly strokes the piano keys to perform an incredible version of the hit song. He’s totally nailing his public performance!
The crowd goes wild
He starts stomping his feet and jumping up and down as the song starts to pick up, making his audience smile and clap for him. With him crouching down to the piano and trying to jump as he played, people can’t help but think that he’s really like a monkey, dancing vigorously to the lively music!
“Dance Monkey” is definitely a perfect choice of a song if you want to wow the crowd with your piano chops and funny antics. This quality must be the reason why it is such a hit worldwide!
And playing to it in public with talent as great as Terry is bound to be viral, too! The video has been viewed for more than 13 million times since it was uploaded on YouTube. Wow!
