To get ready for the new episodes of The Office, which airs next Thursday, I watched the mini marathon of the show tonight. It included the last few episodes from the last season. The show threw a refreshing curveball into the credits: a YouTube-ish video of some kid playing the show’s theme song. So I searched for it.
The kid in the video is 15-year-old Nathan Alden Robinson. We share at least one thing in common — his first instrument was the piano. Actually two things. He was a fan of The Office. According to his obituary in the Boston Globe, Nathan and a friend were discussing the show. One thing led to another, and Nathan was playing the theme song…and here’s the video:
…and to think my contribution to the show was only the best spoof of The Office on YouTube. Nathan passed away in March as a result of methicillin-resistant Staph, pneumonia, and flu. Thank you for sharing with us, Nathan.

Thanks for sharing this. I was watching the mini-marathon also, and saw the video of this boy playing the theme song. Once I saw the name, I instantly knew I taught him as a kindergartener in Newton, MA. Actually I was the classroom assistant that year. I couldn’t believe I had caught that on TV and of course couldn’t believe this happened to Nathan. It’s nice to have this video as a rememberance.
