All you have to do is type in 'Dance Monkey' in YouTube and you'll be presented with a whole lot of covers of the Tones & I mega-hit. 

Now, even the World's Fastest Piano Player (no, really - he has a world record) Peter Bence has shared a take on the track. 

Check out the cover below.

Tones & I has had a huge 12 months off the back of Dance Monkey, which recently picked up the APRA Award for Song of the Year award and also saw Tones & I named the Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year. 

As well as hitting one billion views for the Dance Monkey video on YouTube last month, the track is also now the most streamed song ever by a female artist on Spotify. 

Last month, The Music spoke to the team who helped take the track to the world - read the oral history of Dance Monkey here.
