This is a question Unusual talents

B3tans! Can you hum with your tongue? (Your Ginger Fuhrer can and he once demonstrated this to a producer on Blockbusters on the hope of getting on TV) Maybe you can bend your thumb in a really horrid way that makes it look broken. (Your Ginger Fuhrer's other special talent) What can you do? Extra points if you fancy demonstrating this with the odd pic or youtube vid.

I can play the piano and hold a conversation at the same time, or sing a completely different song.
Apparently this is really difficult and not anything to do with getting to the point where your hands know what they're doing without any intervention from your brain, oh no.

Also, when I say I can play the piano, I can play Chopin and Mendelssohn, not fucking *Titanic.*

I can't
When I'm playing, I can't speak normally, I end up singing what I'm saying in tune and time to what I'm playing. This maybe all well and good to the first movement of Bethoven's Moonlight Sonata. It's not so good to the third movement.

Or Chopin's Revolutionary Study.

It makes being sarcastic really, REALLY fun though
Not only the tone of voice but the way you play at the same time... :P

I'm trying to imagine a sung conversation with Poulenc or something. XD

Haha, YES!
Off topic, but have you ever heard a whole orchestra playing sarcastically? It's hilarious XD Usually happens around Proms season.

EDIT: Yeah, I hate that kid X(

any kid playing the piano well on stage makes me want to go slam the lid down on their 'barely stretch a 6th' hands.

ha, very good
a mate and I proposed a hand-cranked machine comprising of a beam with four pegs on it set an octave apart for the purpose of playing Chopin's Etude Op.25 No.10. It would have a cam to jig it up and down and a track to guide it side to side.

We then went to dream up a machine for each of the other 23 etudes. Such inventiveness is only possible after much alcohol.

Or too much Chopin...

when i was younger
I used to listen to two or three pieces of music at the same time, sometimes whilst doing other things. Can't do that now. I think my brain has fixed itself.
