A YouTube video has been posted showing an older man singing "Say Something," by A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera and the manner he does it in is shocking for all the right reasons.
The piano located at the northwest corner of Victoria Park in Cobourg, Ontario is called "Foxgang Amadeus," as the uploader of the video Katriona Dean says in her description of the post.
"I came across Michael McNamara performing on my #streetpiano, Foxgang Amadeus," said Dean.
"Apologies for the shaky video, I didn't have time to use a tripod or set up my camera. I designed/painted it for the streets of #Cobourg, #Ontario for the "Keys to our Town" art initiative."
"Sorab Bulsara carved the ears and stool for me from an old tree stump, using only a chainsaw," Dean continued.
As interesting as the piano is the performance that McNamara gives is just so incredible it overshadows the entire scene itself. He takes a popular song and covers it in grand fashion.
The original version was used on the soundtrack for "So You Think You Can Dance" where it gained much of it's popularity. McNamara's rendition of the song may shine the spotlight on it once all goes well.
