I used to play the piano A LOT and I was inspired by a recent "evolution of movie music" to create one of my own realizing that I happen to know a lot of film songs. Help me get lots of views if you like it. Turn on closed captioning to get the "production notes", fun facts and song titles

Four notes:
1. I had a bad habit when I was taking piano lessons of humming while I played although one teacher encouraged it. To try to keep this from ruining the video, I had three hard candies in my mouth but that couldn't stop the problem entirely.
2. I don't have the best posture in the world, but when I'm playing the piano I look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame unfortunately. I know
3. Thirdly, there are few flubs. I know
4. Perhaps if I get enough views, I'll enlist a page tuner
