The internet was created for moments like this pitch-perfect cover of Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’
As Bob Marley famously sang, “One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain.”

Lord Vinheteiro is a YouTube piano personality (apparently, that’s a thing, considering he has over 7 million subscribers). He’s an extremely talented musician who can hold his own against the most difficult classical pieces in music history.
That being said, we’re here today for his work playing rubber chickens.

And yet this one really sums it all up.
