[6]
Rosenthal often makes fun music videos for his songs, which have over 200 million views on YouTube channel. [7] For instance, his video for "Watermelon" was noted in the Top 30 music videos of 2014 by The Huffington Post as, "Best use of a grown man in a watermelon suit. (*Close call though.)" [8]
