Merton the Chatroulette Piano Guy garnered his fair share of fame from going on the video chat site and composing improvisational songs on his piano about the people he encountered there. Mashable recently spoke with the man, who prefers to remain anonymous, about his musical aspirations as well as striking resemblance to Ben Folds.

Many of you (including some Mashable staffers) remained unconvinced that Merton and Folds are not one-in-the-same. After Folds released his final "Ode to Merton" last week, we decided to contact the musician and get the lowdown on his foray into the infamous social site.

After speaking with Folds, I'm pretty much 100% sure that he and Merton are not the same person. Check out the interview below if you're still not convinced, as well as our original interview with Merton himself.
