He is a YouTube personality, best-known for the prank video "Sexy Sax Man Careless Whisper Prank feat. Sergio Flores (directors cut)" by Mike Diva. The video depicts Flores crashing a variety of places (e.g., a shopping mall food court, college classes, a laundromat, Walmart, Food 4 Less and Del Taco) where he repeatedly plays the signature sax riff from the 1984 Wham! hit song "Careless Whisper" despite requests to stop, often while gyrating his hips in an exaggeratedly sensual manner. His actions sometimes cause laughter, and other times provoke irritation or warnings from security guards to leave the property. The prank video was posted on March 12, 2011, and as of June 2019 had over 40 million views.[1] He said during an interview that he used a Yanagisawa alto sax.[2] He is also the inventor of the "Sax and Arrow".

Flores has also recorded with The Faceless[3] and Symphonic Circles.

gollark: I disagree strongly with this.
gollark: I mostly use it to follow somewhat interesting stuff like a thread on exotic political compasses.
gollark: Also his actual tweets, quite often.
gollark: The mostly irrelevant village I live in has had 4G connectivity for a year or so, which is nice. I wish they'd roll that out more rather than overhyping pointless 5G.
gollark: The law is with you as long as few enough people start saying wrong things™ on the internet (or, well, specifically your platform) that people start complaining a lot. Public opinion might not be. The issue with making a new less-moderated version of something is that it inevitably attracts a few people who genuinely care about free speech a lot, and probably a lot who want to say terrible/stupid things somewhere.
