The amazing Taylor Swift, Jessie J and Pharrell medley made with household items

In Andrew Huang’s new video, the hits just keep coming.

As do the household items he uses to perform them.

In a mind-blowing medley featuring a half-dozen songs — including Pharrell’s “Happy,” Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off,” Pitbull and the Jessie J-Ariana Grande-Nicki Minaj banger “Bang Bang” – Huang sings along to his own musical accompaniment created on ... things that aren’t actually musical instruments.

“Other than my voice,” the Toronto-based musician writes on YouTube, “the sounds you hear in this medley were produced using only the following things which I could find at my friend’s house while I was staying with him.”

1. Beer bottle

2. Shoes

3. Couch cushion

Huang’s bio describes him as “a new media artist whose work is a distillation of his passions for music, video, and audience participation,” including something called the Song Challenge series “which invites viewers to dare him in feats of musicianship – he has performed a rap song in five languages, played the theme from Breaking Bad using meth lab equipment, and even made a beat using a thousand pairs of pants.”

Recently, he recorded an out-of-this-world version of the Beatles’ “Across the Universe” – “which,” he noted, “apart from my singing, was created entirely with sounds from the Rosetta space probe’s recording of Comet 67P/Churyumov_Gerasimenko.”
