And of course Daniel once again reminds us that he is still actually a musician

As a pianist, i can confirm that this is indeed how i act whenever i see someone playing the piano in public

Imagine Daniel's neighbor hearing in loud voices, "No! I'm not gonna kill him!"

LYRICS: Hey look there he goes again Piano man has found a friend Stands and waits and nods and laughs And hopes his turn will come at last But there he stands and watches close A smiling dork who doesn't know That there's no chance in hell That this dude's getting up So when's the time to say That you play piano too? Woah-oh Woah-oh You play piano too! Woah-oh Woah-oh Look at you standing by yourself With hands inside your pockets Oh well I know it's time to shine My spotlight waits for me to play It's alright When's he gonna let me play the keys Cause I can wait here All I need is just one chance to go I'll play every song I know So when's the time to say I play piano too? Woah-oh Woah-oh You play piano too!/I play piano too! Woah-oh Woah-oh But instead he turns his head and says Wow! That's really good! I like the way you play that What kind of keyboard is that? How long have you been playing? Oh man! I remember learning that song last year! Did you know that I play piano too? Because I do! I play the piano too! Yeah I got a keyboard at my house too! Mine's weighted keys though How 'bout you? Have you ever heard of Jacob Collier? Do the riff! Do the run! Do the lick! Do you know about the lick? Bwa bwa bwa bwa bwa bwa bwaaa That's the lick! Ya heard of it? Do you feel better now that you've said I play piano too!/You play piano too! I play piano too!/You play piano too! He's not getting up He's not getting up He's not getting up He's not going anywhere He's sitting in your chair! He's never gonna give it up! Kill him now! Kill him now! Kill the boy!

Daniel should send this to his teacher so he can finally be happy he made an original song instead of accidentally rewriting another song

there was a huge amount of effort put into this sketch and it's so visible daniel, really really great work!

2:20 The clashes and harmony in this whole phrase is just perfection 👌

Plays the piano and can sing. Skills. The “he’s sitting in your chair” hits different. 2:26

Daniel has finally captured the insanity of playing any musical instrument, along with the need to be better than the person who also plays and the constant practicing it's amazing how Daniel can do it. Congrats man, great stuff. (Edit: Grammar and stuff)

Daniel manages to turn any situation, good, bad, relatable or cringe into a catchy sing-along

1:28 it’s all of the rap for me. the jacob collier bit was apt, the lick was perfectly placed, daniel youre a star. p.s. massive props to your editor

I love the soft 'kill him''s in the background from 2:30 onward asjdhfkjsdhflk

As soon as the song pointed out the piano guy wasn't getting up my brain was like, "well I guess he has no choice but to kill him". Apparently, Daniel and I were on the same wavelength for that

Takeaways from this video: 1) Daniel is super talented. I know it may be onvious at this point but I'll never stop to talk about how great he is in a lot of things 2) The squire is now a lord. That's character development guys 3) THE SQUIRE HAS KIDS OMG

2:20-2:25 I love how Daniel sings in that part! Absolutely amazing! The vocals, perfect!

This happened to me... He stared at my hands, asked me what I was playing while I tried to focus, played the low tones, asked if I could play specific songs (such as the amogus theme, coldplay songs, ariana grande songs, etc.). It was... Terrible

The facial expressions are both comforting and haunting which is something only Daniel can do. Also now now realize my true calling is being a lord…

I love Daniel's singing voice, even if all he ever sings are joking songs. I would love for him to make genuine covers ^-^

This is criminally underviewed for the absolute banger that it is.

Dude can we just praise the fact that he can not just play piano but he can SING! this is something i didnt know i needed

This was an incredible video. Truly a magical experience, right up until Daniel becomes overwhelmed with murderous intent... again. But, even still, that part was pretty cool too.

The agonizing wait to play something a million times harder than what the current guy is playing

And once again, this song comes into my head and settles in rent-free.

I love how Daniel is the only person to actually go out of his way to make the advertisements interesting.

2:18 Fav part by far. Loved the evil chorus progressively showing up. Would have been great if the voices were changing until they were a chorus of Demon Daniel's 👀

Wait this actually slaps… I’m impressed by the comedy and art you put into this- Also green jacket Daniel has a sophisticated air and it’s crazy how you show different personalities so well!

I love when the trumpet 🎺 plays and Daniel is blowing the trumpet in the subtitles Edit: thank you for one like

2:41 “NO I’M NOT GONNA KILL HIM” 😂

Daniel is like the Mozart of our time, a musical prodigy that can make some really dumb but catchy songs

I like how at 2:40 his voice sounds actually strained like he's actively trying to resist the urge to kill him

I am absolutely in love with this song. Especially the trumpet part

THERE IS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW RELATABLE THIS IS 😭😭

He's so passive aggressive waiting for his turn on piano, I love it "DO YOU KNOW THE LICK!? HAVE YA HEARD OF IT!?"

I can distinguish every character in every scene so easily. its always the same actor but his charisma changes with every role. what a talent

Since Daniel wrote an original piece, does that mean he’s no longer doomed to be a cover artist?

1:40 I just love how on piano Daniel stares straight into opposing Daniel’s eyes with confusion.

This is one of the most catchy, yet relatable and accurate skits Daniel has ever made.

“You get a cow, a pig, and a chicken all in one room, that is a bacon, egg, and cheese baby.” I mean, I cannot argue with this assessment.

I love coming back to this every now and again. I laugh every single time.

Once again he reminds us he’s not just a pianist but an absolutely amazing singer in the beautiful video 👍😂

This should be a musical! “The struggle of a modern musician” or something like that! I would actually love to see that

Daniel's editing skills increase with every video he makes and it's impressive

I've heard of triple threats in Hollywood (you know, sing/dance/act), but here's Daniel with his Threats to the Nth: sing, plays keyboard, acts, comedian, time travels, speaks with Satan AND Jesus, multiple personalities, Cat Master, Ad Master... and so many more! (If only I could remember them)

i love the way everyone is talking about the song itself but the first thing that actually caught my attention was his cat playing with the curtains at the beggining of the video Very cute indeed

The layering of the vocals at the end is really well done.

it's even harder when it's one of your friends who doesn't know how to play and is just goofing off, it makes you want to subconciously take over and do a much better job 😭😭😭

Why am I so obsessed with this song?!? I genuinely just watch this on repeat, I don’t listen to anything else anymore 😂😂 (it’s been a month)

I absolutely need this on spotify.

Daniel's so good I forget he's just one person! That acting and editing 👌

With Daniel thrasher vids one of two things can happen: A banger, or strangeness. Or both. Both is good

I don't know why but I really like his smile at 0:48. Also I think it's fun that the evil narrator (?) looks so clean cut with his suit and glasses.

Lord Squire: My kids are gonna be so proud of me The King: YOU HAVE KIDS??? We need a video with Squire’s backstory

This has “Hamilton” vibes. Also “Veggie Tales.” I’d go see a play on Broadway written by Daniel! 🎭

Dude, I'm going through very bad times right now, haven't had a good laugh in days, but this video made me so happy I couldn't bear to laugh at any time Tysm ♥️

This was awesome!!! I always forget that Daniel has an amazing singing voice... And that he can sing parts is like a bonus. Also, this song is exactly what it is like living in my house. I am one of 6 kids, and we all play piano (my mom taught us, so 7 pianists in the house!). We have one baby grand and one keyboard. We all hate the keyboard, so when one person starts playing, dibs for "next on the piano" start coming out of the walls!

The chorus of this sounds *exceedingly* familiar

It must be hard living in a house full of piano-playing clones

Little creative choices I appreciate in this video: 0:01 The sound of a piano cause Daniel to materialize from behind the column 0:27 The little zoom when he tilts his head down and says “close” 0:31 This line that doesn’t rhyme and therefore illustrates the indigence lol 2:35 k!ll him now, K!ll him NOW KlLL THE BOY

I want a full version of this right now.

This is just pure gold, i love it

I like that piano is one of the few instruments where it doesn't feel like a crime to actually share it.

Okay, this is genius. And like genuinely a bop.

Damn Daniel what do you have to say about this fabulous run?! 2:26 👀🙌

0:48 there's a Daniel at the window

Daniel's so talented that his jocking songs are better than some serious songs from popular artist ! The song is very catchy, the comedy is pure gold, and on top of that, the singing is beautiful too !

We need more of these. Your songs are always a bop!

the tiny daniels with the trumpets at the bottom were so funny to me

We need a sitcom in the Thrasher House with all the Daniels.

2:32 Song getting more intense and more, and finally "Kill the BOOOOY!" chills... Literal chills.

Every video I see from Daniel brings me a little closer to learning the piano

I love how the Singer/Voiced-Thoughts Daniel is in the background in the shots with the Daniel waiting to play- subtle, but brilliant!

“Have you ever heard of Jacob Collier” got me rolling 😂😂

0:15 THAT INTRO IS SO CLEAN!

The chemistry he has with himself is impressive....

The way that the suit guy is standing menacingly in the back of the shots with the main character.

He may be singing jokes with his amazing sense of humor, but I must say his voice is so beautiful

Daniel Thrasher once again reminding us of the difference between a Musical Comedian and a Comedic Musician.

I think this shows what an artist you are, it takes skills and a lot of passion (and gut as well) to put all of this together And I'm sure it wasn't easy at all Keep up with the great job, you're truly an inspiration :)

The sound of his shoes or idk what at the end is just hilarious, it finishes the song on a whole new level😂

2:02 surely I can’t be the only one who noticed singer Daniel with a microphone out back

Daniel really having a pop star moment in this video and I'm living for it. It's so catchy 😆 I love it! At 2:15 - 2:20

2:17 Dang- Daniel can sing lol- The descent from the weird musical beauty into pure darkness is really well done.

I just love the image of Daniel recording himself looking impatiently at an empty stool by the piano that no one is playing lmao

To this day he is still waiting for his turn

You have a lot of characters that I love, you are awesome. 🎉

This sounds like many different specific songs we heard of but don't know the name of mashed into one song and im here for it

That was a very, VERY dark turn

the same happens when you're at a friends house (or a friend is at yours) and you want to play the video game too. a truly relatable situation, right down to the contemplation of murder.

Daniel totally kills it every time he wears a suit

please release this on spotify it’s so good

This guy!!!! Well Done Daniel. Sometimes when I watch his streams, his goofing off is so regular and occurs all the time that when he makes random songs or loops it's always good but I have come to accept it. Then he puts something like this on his channel and I'm always like "this guy has a beautiful voice" or "he is so talented" and it shocks me every time but it shouldn't since I've been witness to many magical moments in his streams but on RU-vid it always feels so wonderful. Great job and I now have this song stuck in my head! And because I mentioned it, Daniel, your voice is beautiful.

How is Daniel so good at writing catchy songs? This is gonna be stuck in my head for days now.

I love this so much, I have a few friends like this in my classes and it’s always the funniest thing to watch them fight over who’s going to play next

This is some next-level stuff! Fills the void in my heart left by The Lonely Island. Also, I don't know anything about writing/directing/filming/editing/producing videos, but this seems like a good place to say "That's good production!" Awesome content!

"There he stands and watches close" Daniel's face made me burst out in laughter

Every new Daniel video is my new favorite Daniel video... I don't think we even realize how extraordinary his consistence at making great and hilarious stuff is. Daniel, I hope you know how much we love you, appreciate you and recognize the effort you put into every single video. Thank you.

Awesome vid Mann!! Thank you for all the hard work you put into this!!

I like the subtle background appearance of Music-Video Daniel at 2:01.

Daniel is definitely going to be like Filthy Frank. First he’s going to make funny skits and videos, and then he’s going to be one of the most amazing singers and songwriters.
