You’ve already had your time in the piano duet sun, elderly couple that has been married for 62 years who are still enjoying life with a youthful exuberance that you rarely even see in actual youths that is very adorable and makes you think that even when you are one billion years old you might still be able to play “Heart and Soul” with your husband — because that is the only duet you know how to play — when you happen upon a piano in some public space or even in private and you’ll remember that you are alive and full of love and that even though you can’t work the new technology or pick something up easily that has fallen on the floor, you, unlike so many, understand what is actually important in this world! SO WHY DON’T YOU STEP ASIDE, OLDIES? IT’S OUR PIANO DUET TIME NOW! (Via StuffIStole.)

  7. the circle of life right here. an internet video showing what people used to do to keep themselves busy before they sat around watching internet videos.

    at my 62nd wedding anniversary, i’m gunna show my kids and grandkids all the best Videogum comments…

    “And this one i told your grandma about at dinner that night. boy, it tickled her too. Ya see, it’s not everyday you get to see a lizard fart in a bathtub. I was there.”

  8. This music makes me want to see some new Boardwalk Empire.

  9. Kelly, I read your write up before I watched the video (as I am often wont to do), so once I started the video I immediately thought, “Kelly is WAY off base here. This is great! Those olds are playing the shit out of that piano! It’s THEIR time!”
    And then.
    THEN they had to do their switcheroo razzle-dazzle thing-a-ma-jig, and I immediately thought, “KELLY WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG. Get them away from that piano before someone has to order a round of hip replacements for these risk takers.”

  10. Watch The Stairlift, mo’fuckers.

  11. They got a 9.0 at Pitchfork, though.

  12. I will never experience love like that.

  13. I may or may not have gasped in delight at how cute this whole thing was. Sorry guys.
