One of the most memorable piano riffs in recent memory and dude wrote the song in just 15 mins.

I like how he says “Ok” and goes straight into playing the most killer piano riff there is. Love this song so much

That song is such a masterpiece. Arguably the most iconic piano riff ever.

This man is too casual with his genius abilities lmao

[zavierorlos]

This guy sounds better than the CD i own from them. How is that possible ?

[MG-gbcp]

The piano riff in this song is one of my favorites ever.

Do the think Beatles are best....????
Chris:One of the them....🔥🔥🔥
He plays so safe and yet bold enough....

Howard: that is a powerful little riff there.
Chris: ya but then Johnny put the chords under it.
Howard: ya but that is a powerful little riff there...
Chris: ya but then he put the chords under it.
Howard: that is a powerful little riff there...
Chris: ya but...
(Summary: Chris has always had a tough time taking credit for his genius).

Howard Stern is such a great host. He is always asking the right questions with real curiosity and and he is genuine.

None of the best song writers seem to take full credit for their songs. They seem to believe the songs already existed and they just reveal themselves to the writer.

I remember being at a gamestop at the mall and this song and video were playing on the tv. Feels so long ago on a different planet.

[JesseOsher]

Howard has the gift to ask the best questions and get the “normal person” out of every celebrity.

[leggytheth]

I’m not a big Coldplay fan but theyve wrote some brilliant songs over the years
