These Chatroulette videos are of course in response to Merton who created the art form that we're honoring.
His video which got millions of views, and which many thought was me:

I have no reason to think that he was inspired by me - he wears glasses and plays piano (very well!)

For those children who don't know, an Ode is usually a lyric poem of moderate length, with a serious subject, an elevated style, and an elaborate stanza pattern.There are various kinds of odes. The ode often praises people, the arts of music and poetry, natural scenes, or abstract concepts. The Romantic poets used the ode to explore both personal or general problems; they often started with a meditation on something in nature, as did Keats in "Ode to a Nightingale" or Shelley in"Ode to the West Wind."
