Wow, this works… I don’t imagine I’d say the same about a medievalized (or Casiofied) rendition of Fats Domino’s “Blue Monday.”

Thanks to Allan Rose Hill and @anon61221983 for a couple of great versions of this classic track.

I know that it is a basic requirement of playing music, but I’m amazed that people can keep time; I couldn’t even do that when I was trying to play the Wooden Block in music lessons at school.

This is a wonderful thing, indeed.
But then, almost any cover of Blue Monday will be a wonderful thing.

The Casio video certainly shows just how brilliantly the oriignal was arranged and orchestrated. (Electronistrated?)

Nominating this for the competition.
