@LadyDragonfly was he at least bitten by a radioactive piano? What were his super powers?
Show thread𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶  May 29, 2023

@prettyhuman canonically, Piano-Man's superpowers are:

- Ability to "play you a memory"
- Ability to "make you to feel alright"
- Ability to force you to "forget about life for awhile"

@LadyDragonfly Wasn’t he a piano that played himself?

@LadyDragonfly I'm not normally one to analyze humor, but the in medias res start with "I'm sorry what" is brilliant because it implies pig-headed persistence of the asker, and confusion and incredulity of the respondent, all without the need to actually repeat text in the toot. 👏

Actually just a song about a deranged person shouting “sing me a song, you’re the piano, man!” at a piano

"Sometimes when you learn the meaning of a term, it can be very disappointing. I remember when I was a kid, we were going to meet one of my mom’s friends, and she described him as a “cat person.” We got there, and I was like, wait, so you just like cats? Dude, that’s a cat-liker. A cat person’s a different story. Why does Steven never go in the pool? Oh, he’s a cat person."
