Man plays an unexpected pop tune on the harp and it's fantastic

The harp is typically associated with chubby naked babies with nauseatingly flawless curls, a skinny bloke wearing tights circa 1300 A.D. or, for the completely cultureless, a mediocre Irish lager.
We don't mean to harp on the harp, but let's face it: outside of a very niche audience, its saccharine sounds are at best a particularly dull choice of elevator music. At worst, it is the Madonna of the instrument world: a star of times past with a place in cultural history, but **netheless falling further and further into obsolescence.*
