Bill Murray delights with a surprise musical performance in NYC park
Bill Murray strikes again.
Known for his public shenanigans, actor Bill Murray gave an impromptu musical performance in New York City's Washington Square Park on Wednesday afternoon.
In videos captured by filmmaker and influencer Nicolas Heller, Murray recited "Dog" by beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and performed a rousing rendition of "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story, aided by a binder of laminated pages. He also talked to a dog who seemed a little too starstruck to respond.
