THE INTERNET — The internet is full of all kinds of people showing off all sorts of skills and talents.
You can find a lot of talented musicians on the internet, but not all delivery methods are created equal or welcomed with a consensus of “Oh, I love this.”
One particularly divisive internet music trend is the “one person doing all the parts of a song.” It’s where the same face appears inside several Brady Bunch-like squares. Sometimes the person sings many harmonizing parts of one song, which seems to always accompanied with at least a little light beatbox. And sometimes the person is playing a musical instrument like a trombone or a trombone (How have I only seen these with someone playing the trombone?).
Whether you find those musical super edits to be entertaining or boring doesn’t matter right now. What matters is that no matter what you think of those videos, you will love this adorable boy’s sweet humor about them.
In the video, this lovely kid has the setup just right. But in his world, all the bobbleheads can talk to each other. And of course, “they” immediately start arguing when one of them make an “awkapella” mistake (awkward + a cappella — get it? Sorry, not sorry, it’s lame. Definitely use your valuable time to make a mean comment about it).

Flash mobs are cool, but this is even cooler.It’s so sincere and innocent and sweet and charming that it’s hard not to love this video and the boy with his lilting southern drawl. Additionally, his dedication to the joke is admirable. He cranes his head to look at head “head” in the square and layers it together to sounds like a real argument.
My favorite part is when the top left square looks into the camera and says “I’m doing my very best,” and all the other squares yell it out.
Yes, yes you are doing your very best, and I love it.
