He’s the adorable young music man who surprised Walmart shoppers by busting out a stellar yodel at a store in Harrisburg, Illinois. Tapping his foot to his own beat in a red bow tie, this jubilant prodigy has charmed a ton of people far and wide. Online, the footage is a smash hit. The original tweet with the video, filmed March 24, has been [retweeted more than 50,000 times.](https://twitter.com/dumbassvegan/status/978650667094040576) “I want the yodeling Walmart kid to sing at my funeral,” user Emma wrote, and the praise only got higher from there.
