Get Down With the Sickness - Our Best Dueling Pianos Dedication EVER.

Last night, we had our weekly Dueling Piano Bar Show in NYC. And, as per usual, the room was packed with birthday celebrations, bachelorette parties, couples out on a date, plus some folks celebrating various pre-Father's Day shenanigans.

But, what made last night's Dueling Pianos show special was the dedication we got from one particular table. It read, "Please play something from the 90s, for Rachael, who is celebrating her first birthday after getting her cancer diagnosis (and beating it)".

So, we played I WANT IT THAT WAY, by the Backstreet Boys. Rachael took to the dance floor with carefree abandon, to the screams and cheers of the crowd. The moment took hold, and tears of joy streamed down her face. Infectiously, the bridesmaids and drunken revelers all got caught up in the emotional moment, and started tearing up as well.

It was so powerful, and personal, that we didn't want to post her crying on our site. But then came the next song - also dedicated to Rachael - WE ARE YOUNG, by Fun.

The dance floor filled up with partiers, surrounding her, spinning her around, buying her shots, and singing at the top of their lungs. The tears vanished and her smile at the end of this clip says it all.

Dueling Pianos shows don't get many songs like this one, so we just wanted to share it.
