The Twitter stans of composer Joe Iconis and his frequent collaborator and Be More Chill star, George Salazar, came together this week to create a tribute to the duo.

Using the infamous celebrity "Imagine" video as a blueprint, the teens edited together their very own multi-key version of Iconis and Salazar's number, "Andy's Song."

Check out their mashup below!
