Is This Ragtime Cover of ‘Buddy Holly’ Amazing or an Abomination?

You ever watch Westworld and wish it was like three times as corny and cartoonish? This cover of Weezer’s “Buddy Holly,” played ragtime-style on a piano by YouTuber Scott Bradlee, will take you there:

It’s like if Mickey Mouse kicked down the doors of a saloon and ordered a tall glass of ice water. It’s like if Johnny Crookeyes, the local Snake Oil Saleman, made a career change toward the punk scene. It’s like if Marty McFly traveled back too far, but also had really strange music taste and proficiencies.

Either way, we’re not going to lie that this sent us on a two-hour YouTube spiral of all this guy’s videos.
