This music video was one of our very first ideas as ThePianoGuys. It originated when we were filming “The Cello Song” (

– the first project that Steven Sharp Nelson, Al van der Beek, Tel Stewart, and Paul Anderson did together (which is also the first time they all MET!) As we were finishing the all-night film session, we starting talking about the many “uses” of the cello and before we knew it we were laughing about how funny it would be to make a movie about “cello bonding” – spending quality time with the cello. We didn’t feel like we could ever get away with making this video, but we just couldn’t help ourselves :) For a while Al and Steve tried to write an arrangement of two Bob Marley tunes for the background of the video. It wasn’t flowing, so the project was abandoned for several months. Since the making of “Cello Wars” (

we haven’t really had the opportunity to throw “funny” at our audience. And to be honest, we’ve missed it. We all love to laugh – especially at ourselves. It keeps the pressure of producing videos every other week bearable…so we revisited this concept, but this time with a new tune – the Turtles “So Happy Together.” It fit perfectly.
