9 American Songs That You've Heard And Don't Know The Name

I played 9 american songs that you've heard and don't know the name. Learn their name on this video!

[Talan]

Most of them makes me think about saloons as seen in westerns.

*mutes the audio*
"9 songs you know the names of but don't remember how they sound"

[vilian]

I've learned one thing already - if something sounds like a good silent movie background tune, there's a 99% chance it's by Scott Joplin 😂

The "Maple Leaf Rag" was written for the Maple Leaf Hotel in Sedalia, MO. It is still there and you can see the piano that Scott Joplin played it on.

[gabriellavedier]

Basically Scott Joplin and John Phillip Sousa wrote the soundtrack to America.

[Olorinlemaiar]

Scott Joplin was a genius, shame he was never recognized as such during his life.

[ChristopherMoom]

Everytime he actually looks at the piano instead of having a staring contest, it always weirds me out

[tedwilliams]

I'm a pianist and a tell you all straight out this guy is a fantastic musician!!!! He has a great sense of style and feeling for these pieces combined with humor....swagger and impeccable Ted Williams

[SuperMoni]

When he looked at the piano, you know that song is difficult to play

“9 American songs you’ve heard and don’t know the name”
*Jingle bells*

[JohnnyBoy-gm]

Scott Joplin composed the entire soundtrack for the 1920's even though he died in 1917. WOW!

[reidshutt]

Mad respect to this man for playing most songs on his channel while staring at the camera. He doesn’t look at his hands for most and he doesn’t have music. Wow.

[mattyboi-matt]

Almost all of these were played at a saloon in a cartoon

[slagadorf]

"you don't know these"


*plays jingle bells*

[emilyzahora]

Joplin’s ragtimes are severely underrated. And I wish I could play them this well.

[NCNiveinOK]

Does anyone else get mesmerized by the visuals of the hammers striking the strings?

[zeus]

I would be surprised if any American couldn't name "Yankee Doodle" or "Take me out to the ballgame"

[GiampietroDiSanto]

That Mozart peeping in the background is creepy AF though...

[etheriousrebi]

I can’t focus on the music while Mozart is staring into my soul.

I love the tone of this piano for the these songs. They most likely would have been written and played on uprights, so they sound so “natural” on this instrument.
