No, this is not a post about hand jobs.
The art of Manualism is the fancy term for hand farting. You know there was always that one kid in elementary school, who ALWAYS got laughs for making farting noises as girls sat down or as the teacher was writing something on the board. Well, a few of those kids, who weren't beaten mercilessly by school yard bullies, honed their skills and turned their talent into a legitimate form of music.
After doing a Wikipedia search, the "gunecologist (aka Gerry Phillips) of YouTube" apparently isn't the only manualist out there, but damn it if he isn't the best one I have seen/heard. The guy can play "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden on his freaking hands! You also have to love his smirk on his face throughout every song. It looks like he thinks he is better than all of us...you know what though, he is.
I will embed some of my favorite hand renditions (including his version of Classical Gas, pun intended I guess!). You can follow the videos to his profile on youtube where he has about 40 or so videos of other famous songs.
