Chico Marx plays the "Beer Barrel Polka"
I had no idea Chico Marx had any talent whatsoever besides acting silly. He's a competent piano player.

Re: Chico Marx plays the "Beer Barrel Polka"
Years ago, while watching a Marx's brother movie I heard Chico play the piano. My jaw hit the ground never expecting to see and hear that kind of talent from him. He is an excellent pianist. And, just so you know, all the Marx brothers have musical talent, Harpo having the most. He could play 6 different instruments.

Each of the brothers played instruments when they started out in vaudeville. Chico, or Leonard, was an adept pianist and an expert card player.

What was Groucho's talent other than his eyebrows?... I think he did play the piano as well...

Groucho sang. He had a love for the works of Gilbert and Sullivan and performed in a televised staging of The Mikado.

I sure never knew that Groucho ever sang. I thought all he did was smoke cigars and advertise for DeSoto.....
