“The plot of this video is that on the streets of Melbourne, Ralph is trying to become a singer but everyone rejects him”,  Martin explained.

He then asked the crowd if they would be willing to participate in filming the video, explaining that Macchio was going to come out on stage and sing ‘The Karate Kid’.

Chris then started playing the piano before he started to lose his voice, pulling Macchio from the crowd to help him finish the song.

The official video has now been released, showing Macchio adventuring around Melbourne to busk for people, before getting offered tickets to the Coldplay concert.
