It is a song that was was released in 2019. It’s Dance Monkey and I’m sure that you’ve already heard it, too. The song alone is so charming that many people love it.

Amazingly, its music video is great as well. As of this writing, it has gained over 1 billion views even though it was just uploaded in 2019. In the clip, you would notice that the singer was disguised as a grandpa. Not to mention that he was also with his adorable grandpa squad. So cool!

You have an expected scenario: a public piano, an unsuspecting crowd, and a pianist who is about to blow everyone away with his skills. The only twist is the way he’s dressed. We feel like he just tried to pay homage to the original song, he wasn’t trying to fool everyone that he’s a real grandpa. That’s what makes the video so funny. You know it’s a mask, but you’ll laugh anyway!

This pianist surely got that sense of humor!

He shows it through his adorable dance. The fellow starts jumping up and down while playing the piano. The funniest part is that his jumping looks a lot like a monkey’s dance, and it doesn’t get in the way of his playing at all.

Well, the people around him gamely showed their support for him.

We wish we could have seen it in person! This grandpa is going to be the reason you’ll learn the monkey dance.
