Langley musician Gino Gerussi has a brief encounter with a no-nonsense construction foreman at the beginning of his music video.

香蕉视频直播淵ou heard wrong,香蕉视频直播� Gino replies. His hard hat is labelled 香蕉视频直播渃areer labourer.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淒on香蕉视频直播檛 quit your day job, then,香蕉视频直播� the foreman says as he walks away.

Gino goes back to shovelling gravel.

Cue the music.

As Gerussi, still in his hard hat, work jacket and gloves, croons 香蕉视频直播淛ust In Love With A Girl香蕉视频直播� over a jazzy mix of horn, piano and drum, his co-workers form up a dance line and deliver some Vegas-style kicks.

It ends with a hint that it may have all been a dream, when the dozing Gerussi is jolted awake by the foreman who warns him about sleeping on the job and tells him to get back to work.

The music video has generated thousands of hits on social media as 香蕉视频直播淐onstruction Guy Can Actually Sing香蕉视频直播� since it was first posted.

And yes, Gerussi is an actual construction worker, and those are his foreman and co-workers.

It is his real voice, and he co-wrote the song with jazz legend Miles Black.

Gerussi, a single dad who lives in Brookswood, wasn香蕉视频直播檛 getting much work as a musician during the pandemic, so he returned to construction, something he did as a day job in his 20s, to help pay the bills.

After awhile, his coworkers learned that Gerussi was a singer, and when an aspiring video producer named Rayden Wickop found out about it, Wickop had an idea 香蕉视频直播� why not do a music video, on the construction site?

When he heard about it, Gerussi thought it would be an enjoyable experience, even if the video didn香蕉视频直播檛 turn out, so he said yes.
