Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
The portion in the Alfred's Adult All-in-one Course Level 1 page 12 and 13 starts at 5:40 in this video but most of page 13 is at another spot in the song.
And of course this one may be more entertaining visually but is not the complete song. Starting at 4:30 and going for 15 seconds or so is a portion of the arrangement in the Alfred book.

Bugs Bunny Opera
This video perfectly demonstrates how a FERMATA affects music. Watch how Bugs holds his hand up for a very long time signaling the singer to keep singing. This is how a fermata works. You keep holding a note or chord on the piano until the conductor moves you on or until appropriate depending on the song.

Etude, Opus 10, No. 3 by Chopin
This is a great example of not being too stiff at the piano and feeling the song you are playing.
