Subby ...Try not to smile.

I tried not to, and I failed horribly. Ya gotta love it when kids sing about lighting up cigarettes and drinking gin at the bar. What accent was that by the way? You know it's not in the US, because those parents would have been in an uproar, that their little snowflakes would be subjected to such adult material.

I was sitting with this kid at the bar the other night, next to some idiot who wrote books about real estate.

Every 7 year old should have a friend named John at bar who is quick to light up his smoke.

This can't be a public school. I am guessing Catholic but I can't swear to that because there are no uniforms.

I kept waiting for one of the groupie chicks up against the stage to throw a pair of Winnie the Pooh panties at him.

kiddo is good..

Cognitive dissonance was overcome by just how damned cute the kid is. Hell, I'd buy him a beer . . . and go to jail and would probably still be for life.

Dupa: I kept waiting for one of the groupie chicks up against the stage to throw a pair of Winnie the Pooh panties at him.

I am sending you the bill for a new keyboard.

Fake.

Cute kid, talented... not even close to a good rendition.

That song takes a little bit of "hard livin'" to pull off. It requires a little heart and soul that a seven year old usually lacks.

Michael Jackson was a tremendous singer at that age... as long as he was singing "A B C"... if he'd tried singing "Tango 'til Their Sore", "Tower of Song", "Born to Run" or even "Rehab"... he couldn't have pulled it off.

...Tango 'til Their They're Sore...

FTFM

I bet you're a real douche at parties.

Took me a few decades to understand that line

"who never had time for a wife...
and he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
and probably will be for life."

This kid did good. I like how his dad had prerecorded the percussion and some background instruments - but still played the piano live.

Nice performance. 6 great minutes.

Cute kid.

And yet I'm confident in this tread, someone will make an outraged OUTRAGED post over references to booze and smokes sung by a child.

So preemptively: Lighten up, Francis

...well, not really... I've always been a bit of a 'hit'/'must come!'... you're kinda wrong... but you're basing your opinion off a random post on Fark... so I'll cut you some slack.

At 5:41 you can see an American flag being flown. The kid does seem to have an accent though.

Pretty cool stuff.

According to the guy's You Tube page he's in Pennsylvania.

cute
What would be REALLY funny would be some 7 year old girl singing, "I touch myself" by Divinals.

Dr.Zom: According to the guy's You Tube page he's in Pennsylvania.

They're starting rumspringa awfully early this year.

DoblerMeyer: You know it's not in the US, because those parents would have been in an uproar, that their little snowflakes would be subjected to such adult material.

Bah. My parents let me sing this even before I knew what "makin' love" and "get stoned" meant. I guess I assumed that the businessmen were slowly getting rocks thrown at them, which is kind of a poignant image now that I think about it. The video's cute to me mostly because it's obvious that this kid has about as good an idea as I did on the lyrics' meanings.

/And the harmonica is quickly becoming a lost art. Go and learn it, all of you. It's about the cheapest freaking instrument you can get.

Just watching him say "as the business men slowly get stoned" gets me! cracked the fizuck right up!

How is it 'preemptive' if that's mentioned in the Boobies?

Angel of Death: HaNaGaijin: Cute kid, talented... not even close to a good rendition.

Jebus, he's a real douche even in FARK threads.

/can I show you my home movies of my kids singing?

Angel of Death: HaNaGaijin: Cute kid, talented... not even close to a good rendition.

Someone named "Angel of Death" probably knows all about how to be a real douche at parties.

"[pointing] The salmon mousse!"

/obscure?

(Of course, Roy Batty IS a hit at parties, as long as I've brought Pris along.)

For the school holiday play, the kid and his classmate Kaitlyn (who has cooties) will duet on "Fairytale of New York".

A 7-year old singing "Captain Jack" (from that same album) would be even more impressive.

Heh.

Dude. 7-year old.

You're a douche.

The kid did good.

Dupa: I kept waiting for one of the groupie chicks up against the stage to throw a pair of Winnie the Pooh panties at him.

You bastard.

Try not to smile

Done.

/Wasn't even that hard.

(yawn) How precious.

I was at a piano recital a few weeks ago for my pseudo stepson (who's 16). The teacher had wide range of ages as pupils. It's clear who "gets it" as far as what music really is - tempo, melody, technique - and who is reading symbols on a page and trying to translate them into notes on a keyboard or maybe who' there because Mom and Dad want them there.

You can tell even at 6 or 7 who gets it and who doesn't.

My six year old daughter just fell in love. Crap, she's already a groupie.
/Damn you, Fark
/Seriously, yay parents who let a kid do what he's good at, lyrics unchanged and all.

If I ever have a kid, and he can do that at seven, I'd be very happy.

He's in Pennsylavania?

He sounds Scottish.

Stile4aly: He sounds Scottish.

My guess was Irish.

PLEASE post that to the YT blog before I do.

/I peed a little

GibbyTheMole: A 7-year old singing "Captain Jack" (from that same album) would be even more impressive.

it's ok, this is my work keyboard. No big deal.

The Mad Cockatiel: If I ever have a kid, and he can do that at seven, I'd be very happy.

Seconded!

// I play piano, my husband plays violin
// We might just produce a contender one of these days...

I'd hit it

CANNOT believe no one has mentioned this!

Me too.

Heck, I laughed at 5 seconds in when he was getting ready to play the harmonica and suddenly did a "oh shiat, wrong way!" and did a quick flip around

\funny cause I can relate
\\can't we all?
\\\7 years old? Heck it beats the hell out of the usual 7 year old recital which consists of a mean melody of Hot Cross Buns on the Recorder or if you're really special, christmas songs on the Autoharp and Rhythm Sticks...

Dr.Zom: According to the guy's You Tube page he's in Pennsylvania.

So he is not American then.

Garth Brooks hopefully pays Joel a ton of money for all the covers he does in concert. Bad enough he did a twangy version of "Shameless".

Brilliant, bloody brilliant. I want to buy that kid a beer.

And his dad, too for letting him and even playing backup. He even got the crowd to sing along.

About as cute as watching children eat (esp. spaghetti) or mumble with that vacant open maw on TV.

Sethor:

Jealous your kid can't do that?

Don't have a kid...?

Geez... just smile and enjoy such an awesome performance and don't try and bring everyone down with your "elitist" attitude.
