Certain songs take us to certain memories from our past.
While these songs are sometimes nostalgic or transcendent, others are just plain funny!
Often, these funny throwbacks are associated with movies or characters from movies. One of the most famous? Pink Panther!

Pink Panther is a cartoon developed in the ’60s that has created laughs for millions.

While we all know what the Pink Panther looks like, odds are that we know what he sounds like, too! In that suave, spy style, the waltzing sound of horns signal that the Pink Panther is on the prowl.
We ALL know what the theme song of the cartoon is!
One duo decided to perform the song in a unique way.

One of the best things about music is that everyone has their own way to perform and express it.
An acoustic song written by a folk singer could very well be turned into a pop remix! That expression is what makes music so fun.
Il Grande Piano is a music duo that has a special take on performing music.

Il Grand Piano doesn’t just perform their songs on any instrument – this duo always uses a MASSIVE floor piano for all their performances! They travel all across the world, playing music with their bodies as much as the piano.
A floor piano is a pretty cool instrument.
If you have ever seen the movie Big, you know what a floor piano is. It’s a mat that you press on that produces the related note on a piano. Since you can’t use your fingers to press on the keys, you use your feet!

Il Grande Piano released a video of them performing with the Pink Panther theme song!
While it might be “easy” to play on a normal piano, it takes practice to play it on a floor one! You need to coordinate who is playing what AND where. You also have to have one person acting as the bass “hand” and the other as the “treble” hand.
When the two start the song, you immediately know the song they are playing.
It only takes four notes to know what song the two are performing! With a flourish and a hop, the two signal to each other and start their song. After the initial notes, they even pause to do the little snaps, just like the song!
Leaping around, the two play the song splendidly, even for a massive piano!
It’s HARD to play such a large instrument. You can easily see how skilled these two are by watching them play (more like dance) in unison. They switch sides, twirl their feet, and stay in rhythm the whole way through.
By the end of it, you might expect a pink cartoon to walk out from the side!
Il Grande Piano does great stuff and plays their portable piano all across the world. Maybe the next time they perform this, they invite the Pink Panther on as a special guest!
