RTE Republic Of Comedy posted this prank video on Monday, and now it stands with over 115,000 hits. An orchestra of musicians travels around town pranking people with their music, be it playing countdown music at a red light or performing a red carpet event for travelers as they disembark from the bus.
It doesn’t matter how many times it’s been done. When out of the blue at a local market place people start collecting classical instruments and begin playing John William‘s world famous theme music for Star Wars, people stop and watch.
And when viewers see the story online, they watch as well, helping to launch this ARD published video to amass over 400,000 views in just a week. The video is further featured on AndPop, Mashable, and TheSun.
There have been too many covers of Carly Rae Jepsen’s summer hit single Call Me Maybe to even count. But there’s always room for one more.
Colin Britt arranged and orchestrated this fantastic classical cover of the hit single with the help from Arianne Abela. The 3Penny Chorus and Orchestra performed the cover with Arianne conducting.
Even though it’s a little late to the party, this maybe one of the best covers yet! The viral music video stands with over 120,000 views, and is featured on YouTubeTrends
So Gotye‘s mega hit Somebody That I Used To Know will no doubt go down as this year’s top one hit wonder. There are literally hundreds of covers of the ultra viral song.
So what does one do when they have a hit like this one their hands. After feeling very awesome for bringing music to so many people, Gotye got right back to making music. … Out of the various covers of the their song.
The resulting track is a one of a kind, world-wide mash up of YouTube musicians, appropriately titled Somebodies: A YouTube Orchestra.
Does it get any more meta?
For their 130th anniversary, Spanish finance group BancSabadell commissioned a symphony orchestra flash mob at a city square in Sabadell, Spain.
