Saxophone Battle On New York City Subway Train

Mar 312013

Hearing someone play the saxophone while on your daily NYC subway commute is nothing out of the ordinary. On the contrary, it’s rare when you have a little peace and quiet in your train car.

But GREATTIM E stumbled upon a musical event that was in true rare form, even for New York. While a musician was playing the sax at one end of the subway car, a dude with his buddy on camera phone took out his sax and started to play.

Nearly instantly, the two get in sync and start rocking out. They battle musically, clashing their notes together like swords. Of course the travelling witnesses loved the interaction. As they say, “Only in New York.”

Web nerdy viewers can’t help but ask, “Where’s Sexy Saxophone Guy?”

YouTuber TennaciousD94 understands the Internet well, and correctly assumes, “Viral in 3 2 1.”

A second perspective:

Fan Asks Billy Joel If He Can Perform With Him, Billy Answers Yes And They Play New York State Of Mind

Mar 122013

It truly takes guts to not only ask a question in front of your countless peers at Vanderbilt University, but also to ask your musical idol if you can play with him.

And that’s exactly what student Michael Pollack did during “An Evening of Questions and Answers and a Little Bit of Music” with Billy Joel at Vanderbilt two months ago.

In a packed auditorium, Michael asked, “My favorite song of your is New York State Of Mind… I was wondering if I could play with you…. I would accompany you that is.”

Incredibly, Billy simply answered, “OK,” to which the crowd erupted in applause.

After a few moments getting set up, Michael was finally playing his favorite song with the one and only Billy Joel singing at the microphone in front of a crowded auditorium.

A moment he will truly never forget.

The BNP Paribas Tennis Showdown was just held in Manhattan, New York City. Just for fun, professional tennis player Rafael Nadal asked celebrity in the stands Ben Stiller to join him for a few volleys while playing Juan Martin Del Potro.

Juan also picked a fan from the fans as his teammate. A random little girl. Viewers expected the audience to side with the little girl, but no one expected her to perform so well.

The adorable match was caught on camera by Romi Cvitkovic, and now the video is going viral.

By now, most of the Internet is already sick of the Harlem Shake dance craze meme. But shockingly, there are people in real life who don’t live their lives in an Internet culture bubble, and still haven’t seen the new online Harlem Shake.

That gave NYC based Schlepp Films an idea. They traveled to the streets of the real Harlem neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, and showed passersby the new craze.

For the most part, they aren’t impressed.

Now, this Harlem-reaction video has already garnered over 450,000 hits in just one day, and is further featured by Gawker, BroBible, Mashable, and HuffPost.

By now, you, your cat, and your grandma have seen more than a life time supply of Harlem Shake dance videos. But there’s always a few creative stragglers at the end of the life of a meme that truly stick out from the crowd.

CBC set up in advance for countless New Yorkers to converge on Times Square at the same time for an ultimate flash mob Harlem Shake dance.
