THE PIANO BENCH — The Peanuts theme song is singlehandedly capable of putting me into a three minute, two-second flashback to my childhood, where suddenly the meaning of Christmas and urge to yank a football away from a running Charlie Brown overtake me.
The Friends theme song is also nostalgic, albeit in a very different way. In this situation, it's 48 seconds of me dancing around my parents’ house as a 14-year old with a Netflix subscription after a long day of school, laughing as I say to myself, “David Schwimmer is schwimming in that fountain.”
Combining these songs would make for the ultimate nostalgia mix.
Enter this guy: Twitter-user Drew Olanoff’s brother-in-law Andy, who proves himself king of both themes by combining the two into this masterpiece.
April: "What would a mashup of the @FriendsTV and @Snoopy Peanuts theme songs sound like?"

This mashup is everything you never knew you needed. Two nostalgias combined into one glorious symphony. It’s the meaning of Christmas, football and friendship as I scream an off-key, “I’ll be there for youuuu!” with such vigor my dog wonders if I’m summoning a demon. I’m certain this song will put you under a similar spell.
So listen up, get to your feet, get grooving to a strange mix of Peanuts and Friends, and bask in gratitude for Andy’s musical prowess.
