The hit music medley made with kale and cushions

Beer bottles, shoes, sofa cushions and kale are just some of the household items used as instruments in the first viral hit of 2015.

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 - Andrew 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."

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."
