About

Me Playing Piano is a fairly-popular series of videos throughout youtube featuring a teenaged boy banging on a piano before his debut (originally) Quite few users have actually uploaded the video, but some of their views show that a little bit of people are reaching it. The users who do upload videos like this take the original video, swap scenes in and out from it, and then add different audio to fit the remixed video. This is considered a "Meme in Progress", due to the amount of viewers that the videos have. The parodies of this video usually have identical titles, tags, and descriptions, but different video and sound.

Origin

In approximately late 2009, a video was posted to youtube titled "Me Playing Piano" It featured a young boy, roughly fifteen to eighteen in age, sit down on a piano bench and announced: "Good morning youtubers, today I will be playing to you a little rendition of my own" He then proceeded to turn to the piano, lean forward in an awkward and improper position, and started to randomly hit the keys of the piano. After almost a minute of constant hitting and banging, he then turned to the camera, and briefly said "Thank you." The original uploader goes by the username DannyTanner, and has a playlist of several gathered parodies of his video. The first parody was made by Youtube user "Rnwofccg" who swapped out a few of the scenes to make the playing more smoothly, and added a different audio track. Other users who had made parodies of it were:

cooldudeguy6
Saiko69
thebigbat69
LilJanksta

This was the second video uploaded by the original youtuber to upload it. No evidence of the original movie is found, but some viewers have vouched that it existed.

Spread

After DannyTanner uploaded the original video, the first parody of the video was posted by Rnwofccg, a youtuber user who was one of the first viewers of the video. Shortly after Rnwofccg uploaded the video, Youtube user cooldudeguy6 made another remix of the 'song', followed by several other users after (Listed Above)

This is the first remix of the video.

Each video has gained roughly 200-2000 views. The video production and viewers have plummeted since the first and original video was removed. It has been seen, however, that the views have still gradually been coming back, but at a very slow rate.
