Using his self-taught piano skills and immeasurable wit, Merton (or so we'll call him for now) creates a special tune for everyone he chats with -- apartment-dwelling Italian guys, anonymous twee girls -- even muscle-y men with bad facial hair. The result? Smiles for everyone!
It's almost enough to make us give Chat Roulette a try. Almost.
Ugh. If you click through to his YouTube page, it says "not Ben Folds". They look similar maybe, but I'm really tired of the lack of fact-checking on this story.
Anyone that has listened to Ben Folds for more than half a second will know right away that there's no way that Merton guy is Ben Folds. His voice is just different.
Still, it takes talent to improv like that. The guy's good.

There actually is a video of Ben Folds on chatroulette during a concert but it was "an ode to merton"
