Keyboard Cat

Not to be confused with Nora, a cat that plays a piano on her own.

"Keyboard
Cat" footage consists of Charlie Schmidt's cat, Fatso, playing a
keyboard. In reality, Schmidt is manipulating the cat under a baby's
tee-shirt.

Keyboard Cat is an Internet meme. It consists of
footage from 1984 of "Fatso", a cat (now deceased) owned by Charlie
Schmidt of Spokane, Washington, wearing a blue shirt and "playing" an
upbeat rhythm on an electronic keyboard. In reality, Fatso was
manipulated by Schmidt.

The clip, originally posted to YouTube
under the title "charlie schmidt's "cool cat"", has gained popularity
by being appended to blooper and other viral videos as if to "play"
that person off stage after the mistake or gaffe in a similar manner as
getting the hook in the days of vaudeville, usually accompanied with
the title Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat or a variant, essentially stating
that a keyboard-playing cat has more talent than the person being
played off.

ROSCOE, a disc jockey from Bologna, wants to celebrate the 26th anniversary of this great story.
