Child's Reaction to Pianist's 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' Cover Is Adorable

This small child's reaction to a pianist's “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” cover is adorable in the best way. The tot goes absolutely crazy when she hears her favorite song get a snazzy piano cover. 

The "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" piano cover is jazzy and upbeat. It’s no wonder the toddler loves it. As an adult, I do, too. Passersby can’t help but crack a smile as they hear the song and see the toddler dance her heart out. 

The man who plays for the little girl in the middle of the busy mall, the infamous Brendan Kavanagh, AKA Dr. K, is a musical magician. You will never hear another "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" piano cover quite like this one, for sure. You can’t help but smile as you watch and listen to this video.

“Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” Started as a Poem 

“Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” has been popular since its publication as a poem in 1806. It was written by a woman named Jane Taylor, who also wrote many other rhymes in a collection with that poem. The melody for “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” (and “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep”) is actually copied from a 1761 French song, “Ah! vous dirai-je, maman” (‘Oh! Shall I tell you, Mama’). 

There are several more paragraphs in the poem that most who are familiar with the song do not know. One of them is: 

Then the trav’ller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

It is a very cute little song with a catchy tune, easy to sing and remember. It’s no wonder that it’s lasted more than 200 years in British and American culture. 

It’s wonderful that the pianist and the toddler got to share a special moment as they jammed to the classic nursery rhyme.
