Amazing Duet: Powerhouse

[skimask777]

I guess that's way to do it to get it right!!!

[Globez123]

That is one of my favorite Looney Tunes songs

[EagleRock1337]

Man, the one of the left is a real spaz compared to the one on the right...

[kruse220897]

cool!!! :D

[sillycon]

Does the Acme Power Company know that you guys are infringing on their copyrights? :D

[pianoguytv]

@sillycon Well done... :-)

[gary19531953]

Great job , he makes it look easier than it is to play this

[goshlike76]

Wish I could do that with myself!

[mik4000123]

I am now determined to do this duet with someone at my school for the talent show... If only you could get Dave Powers to play it again, but with a camera above his hands, or sheet music in front of his face...

[pianoguytv]

@mik4000123 There was no sheet music. Dave just figured his own arrangement by listening to the original recordings of the full orchestration. If you do it for the talent show make sure to report back :-)

[KPO6859]

What a delight! Nice recording, performance.

[ayokay123]

WOW!!!! FANTASTIC performance AND special effects!!! Thanks!

[mamonsin]

Fascinante

[MaximumHuman]

Yay! This is cool!

[hachter1]

Where can I find the sheet music to this?

[LieutenantTango]

where can i find the duo sheet for this song? anyone please help me! :)



[pianoguytv]

@LieutenantTango I'm sorry to report that I doubt very much if it exists anywhere. I encourage you to try and learn it the way Dave did, by listening closely to recordings (or to this video) and figure out a close facsimile yourself. Best of luck, and have fun!

[LieutenantTango]

@pianoguytv thanks :)

[wmlfan9]

@pianoguytv It may not exist as a duo but evidently it does exist as a solo. In Youtube's search box enter "raymond scott's powerhouse" and "donnywest". During the first few seconds on this video you will see the sheet music (the cover, that is).

[pianoguytv]

@wmlfan9 Good detective work. Thanks!

[karen175]

NOT HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

[branek52]

Palehorse, you know too much. Report for regooving at once!

[Kairamek]

In general like like this video. Nice use of effects technology to have a man play a duet of a classic jazzy tune with himself. But... "the magic of television?" Really? That line? in the 21st century? I am so disapointed.

[scopeeyevideo]

@Kairamek In color!

[mysdyrekted4life]

Funny, I always knew this guy was tallented. I went to school with him, my mom never liked him, bet she would have now huh? Way to go Dave, and Happy Birthday!

[saladgyrl]

Dave Powers is incredibly talented. I have seen him play since he was just a teenager...

[dahtcom]

...missed opportunity to shave the goatee between takes. Woulda been a cool duet with his evil twin.

[MantisAtlantis]

Facials guy

[angieandthecarwrecks]

I needed my Looney Tunes fix. I work in a factory and always whistle this song.

[iamgoingtoro]

Facial Expression Win.

[fireoutlaw23]

i rarely remember this in any "frantic chase scenes"; only factories :)

[Brandon00151]

It seems that Dave Powers sure likes playing with himself

[choirguy75]

Announcer, just so that you know, this is not a "song," as you mistakenly made reference to. The word "song" implies to sing. As I recall, I didn't hear any words being sung from the pianist's mouth. This is a piece or a work.  This is a common mistake, generally made by musically uneducated people. Hope this sheds some light for you.

[wmlfan9]

I don't know if anyone has noticed but that orchestral finish from 3:40 to the end sounds wonderful.

[DonBildo]

definitely one guy-I know him

[plubassmusician]

this isnt a pair of twins...its just one guy, and "the magic of television"

[ch3rrycoke]

6 people don't believe in the magic of television!

[1998fhm]

two twinns? U mean 4 people? Where are the other two?

[balthcat]

@1998fhm One twin. != One set of twins.

[EagleRock1337]

5 people were wondering what's so interesting about seeing two twins play Powerhouse.

[wmlfan9]

That was unbelievably great! How can one piano sound better than a full orchestra?

[wancd]

Do some of you people have nothing better to do than troll the internet? Yes, there were a FEW mistakes, but sheesh, the guy's only human. Just sit back and listen to the great piano work.

[pytko3]

@wancd If your wondering how he eats and breaths and other science facts,repeat to yourself, it's just a show. I should really just relax.

[Raguleader]

Epic Win. XD

[Doby]

Dragggs

[fennitch]

Sheesh. What do you do, when the guy dragging the tempo is yourself?

[trudbol]

What a show! Bravo! THIS is quality content I want to see and hear more! Loved it

[niceguy2685]

I have the original piano score for this piece and its perfectly easy to play.. this is his crazy duet version which is nice, but you cant be the original!

[ejne2]

To palehorse - LMAO

[DAJ01]

He is so gonna kill the other guy for being better than him.

[Egghed545]

mistake at 2:12 too i tihnk aswell :(

[frotz661]

Looks almost like a Victor Borge styled piano fight.

[10lettername]

somewhere right at 2:04

wrong note

[comodor012]

its my favourite song...the best...

[meowkie]

I just love how his translates to the piano. :)

[thejobloshow]

JUST PLAY THE SONG!!!!

[wilkiemart]

this is really really good. i love the harmony he uses at the beggining. it sounds different from the recording

[asako23]

the look on his face, brilliant!

and yeah, that midsection is the best, can i find a loop of it somewhere?

[Cellox987456]

piano hero's lol

[himrod67]

That's crazy man...

[DarthBlendas]

great vid my favorite part is at 2:20

[ankoslitoflower]

power b is the best. my friends and i do a vocal version of this when we are in public just walking around.

[BankersGal]

Hey Dave: Karl just showed this to me...awesome and extremely entertaining!!

[tomaspepino]

2:05 EXELENT !!!!!!!!

[TheSuperSubber]

Twins? Amazing. They play so well!

[rioted]

it's a TV trick, he said it at the very begining.

[muffin8or]

same guy noob

[palehorse864]

I've watched enough cartoons to know that you don't need to duplicate the guy through the magic of television to play a complex piece. You just need to put a mouse inside the piano.

This usually only works for Franz Liszt tunes, so that may be why they needed the extra pianist.

[mapearce1]

@palehorse864

Yup, I most certainly remember the mouse and Hungarian Rhapsody #6. Scott does an admirable job of meking me remember just how influential Warner Brother cartoons were in exposing young (and old) minds to ALL genres of music - from Boogie to Opera to mountain fiddle tunes for square dancing! And also the phrase "when I say whoa, I meenz WHOA! Great job Scott!

[lyonsd1875]

@palehorse864 Who? Franz Lizst? Never heard of him!

[razi654]

@lyonsd1875

he was one of the most famous pianist in the 19th century

[Sunchild333]

@palehorse864 He didn't want the mouse to take all the credit in the end just like he always does.

[mirelalovesmilk]

that was so cool :D

i like the left dave better lol he had more fun :]

[guitarplaya1204]

Damn that brings back memories. Damn Fine Playing too

[acip44]

it's just you

[lolookphor]

no u

[acip44]

you

[RWstunts]

the one playing the higher part was enjoying playing it alot

[OurenV2]

It's the same person, they're just using synchronization special effects, it's easy.

[RWstunts]

i know that, but him playig the higher pitch looks like he is enjoying playing it a bit much lol

[Bob65001]

@RWstunts lol its the same guy... 

[RWstunts]

@Bob65001 haha, i know that XD, ive just noticed his epic headbanging towards the end lol, he also looks like hes gona piss himself laughing when he plays the main riff

[Bob65001]

@RWstunts haha indeed :D

[brickyard1911]

You ought to see Dave play with a "beverage" in his hand! Classic.

[Rabidraider]

The cartoon was about a very modern home with robots and some mice...lol

[waltergaleazzi]

buenisimo

[lenakaye]

Totally Awesome!!!!!! You rock Dave!!!!

[thecamraman]

Very cool!

[wvsnuffer]

Lol that was great.Fantastic....

[iamtwisted1]

Well done, that was cool. :-)

[handsomepianist]

Amazing synchronization in the special effects. Makes me wonder how it is done.

[xxthexjakexx]

masking. i'd get more detailed but i'd bore you.

[NotJames1]

They make a great pair

[clearevil]

awesome

[IronMicey911]

2:05 to 2:40 is extremely classic.

I cannot remember the Bugs Bunny episode this was actually played on, but my guess is the " Carrot Factory ".

Dave Powers did an amazing job in capturing that exact sound and style. Anyone out there know the episode ?

[finder85]

Hey very funny Scott! Thanks for posting! Keep it up!

[lolapplesauce]

very well played! i like that he was making a face when he did it
