Thanks for posting this. Chico and the Bros. will never be forgotten!

[SatchmoSings]

Chico Marx's playing here for the children is so delightful; the youngsters don't have to act; they're genuinely enjoying it as much as those watching in theatres and at home.

Does anyone know if this actual version is available in sheet music? I can only find versions with lyrics for beginner piano.

[LKeet6]

i know this is comedy but man that guy could play! turning piano playing into performance art.

[IAMAG00DB0Y]

mega pedo

[theklord066]

LOL his finger is always in the air! ^-^ Luv it!

[MufinMcFlufin]

Does anyone know where I could find a sort of studio version of this song?

As much as I like Chico performing it (and I really do) this isn't high quality audio, and the cheering would be annoying as audio.

Fair Thee Well, like-an old friend, We live much more, Richly because of thee.

[AnotherSchmoe]

Gosh such amazing playing, probably the smoothest glissandos I've ever seen too. He makes this all look so effortless. Talk about talent. =O

[WOW6557]

Holy shit! That was awesome!

[pausikraipalos]

Chico in his element: kids! Excellent!!!

[alieales]

Les Dennis

[BillDFC]

I think you mean Les Dawson...

[alieales]

Yes, I stand corrected! I need to study more Les's :) hehe

[JEMCO2008]

look how that kid moves to the side

and pushes the litle boy out of the way

[soulierinvestments]

Chico Marx makes it look so easy. 

I am trying to think of modern comedians who can do funny things on the piano as well. I'm drawing a blank.

[Kaalec]

There isn't one. After Chico, there was Victor Borge, but no one since him.

Chico's brilliant.

[MichaelKingsfordGray]

Tim Minchin?

[Chippyminton13]

Les Dawson and Eric Morecombe [British comedians] did bits on the piano but more in the funny they play it badly sort of way.

No-one is a patch on Chico Marx

[dominickkk5]

Victor Borge is recent, but he died a few years back, sadly. Hilarious dude.

[anjalimudra603]

@soulierinvestments Dudley Moore is one, but he's not that modern

[JadeFerret]

@soulierinvestments Both Victor Borge and Les Dawson did similar, but both are long gone. :(

[MufinMcFlufin]

@soulierinvestments

Jeffrey Ross and Larry.

Even though one is the comedian, and the other the piano player (who still doesn't compare to Chico, but still is pretty good), they make a good comedic duo.

@soulierinvestments Bill Bailey cuts a good rug!

[wimpylassiter2336]

@soulierinvestments Bill Bailey.

[WSenator1]

@soulierinvestments - You should have seen Victor Borge.

[Glinkaism1]

@soulierinvestments You are maybe thinking of Victor Borge, who has since passed away. His act is on YouTube. Cheers!

[jan0eliz]

@soulierinvestments

Victor Borgia!

[lordbonzo]

@soulierinvestments Zach Galifianakis 

[gitane23]

how easy it is for him! megan, thanks for sharing.!

[Anubisblack]

God he's good.

Hey, you know what I just realized? Javier Bardem looks just like Chico Marx.

[vitesenzafine]

Only far less talented and likeable!

[kaqmere]

I'm actually trying to write out this and another piece he played in "A Day at the Races" so that I can learn to play them both like he did.

[aeew]

Tell us when you're done =D

[julihaenna]

oh I love this movie!!!

It's so great :) thanks for posting!

[Kasinek]

Chico is the together with Keith richards and Robert Johnson the coolest musician in history

[maxsoldo]
