Doctors experience some of the most high-stress jobs around. When health and lives are on the line, it can lead to frustration and anxiety that can pile up without a healthy form of release. That’s why doctors are always searching for positive ways to blow off steam and have a good time. Well, the doctors in this video have found Boogie-Woogie music to be that perfect form of release.
These doctors were on the clock, but just had to take advantage when they saw…
“We’ll be there in about 15 minutes.”
Those were the words that you hear from one of the doctors at the top of the video. It’s never revealed who he’s talking with, but since the two men on camera are wearing doctor’s coats and scrubs it’s clear they’re talking with a supervisor or co-worker.
But what do you play when you only have 15 minutes? How about…
After a few practice keys and chords, the doctor plays with gusto. He breaks into a bouncy boogie-woogie tune that would fit right in with movies from the swinging era of jazz.
Boogie-woogie comes from the jazz tradition and features…
Boogie-woogie is a form of Jazz that is usually played by solo pianists. Using only a 12-bar progression through three chords, it gives a lot of room for energetic melodies that gets music lovers to take notice and have a great time. The high-energy and high-fun routines are also a great way to help performers stay smiling.
Faster than then Internet, more musical than…
You can see this energy when you watch the main pianists fingers. They dance across the keys making music that gets many viewers to tap their toes along with the beat. One comment on the video even jokes that his fingers move faster than their internet connection.

It’s not enough to just play the music for these performers. The young pianist breaks into song lyrics about half-way through the video. He has a strong voice that belts out lyrics including:
I will never love you back.”
A solo performance becomes a duo performance in a really fun way
The surprises don’t stop there. Soon the other doctor joins in on the act scooting right next to his co-worker. With four hands dancing across the ivory keys, you know the music picks up pace. With so much melodic sound that onlookers can’t help but smile.
This street performance has became a hit live-show
And those smiles are why the crowd expands from the two or three from early in the video to nearly fifteen men and women. Smiles are all around. Phones are out recording the show. These two doctors have charmed the crowd.
From piano tricks to…
The doctors even show off a little by switching places in the middle of the performance without missing a beat. Their showmanship is enough that it wouldn’t be out of place if those two broke into a rousing rendition of “Great Balls of Fire”.
After the show it’s back to…
The doctors perform one final piano crescendo ending with a fun flourish.
As soon as the music dies down, the crowd breaks into cheers and applause. Then, you can hear the doctors making plans on what to say when they show up to their jobs in about 15 minutes.
