The Gentlemen of the College singing "Runaround Sue" by Dion and the Belmonts at the 2013 NKE serenade. Arrangement: Dylan Vorbach '15 Filmed by Ali Whitehouse
@@realboltfan I’m not saying that the vocal should be grittier _because_ that’s how it was originally sung; I’m saying-that the rasp/grit in the original vocal is what makes it so powerful. The fact that Dion’s voice is _not_ “crystal-clear” is what makes it emotional. The “Flaws” in Art-are the things that you connect with; _Not_ the “perfection”. Robots are “perfect”. Robots do not make mistakes. Humans are not “perfect”. Humans _do_ make mistakes. That’s why you _can_ connect with humans-and _cannot_ connect with robots. Vocals shouldn’t always be “crystal-clear” or “perfect”-because _Life_ isn’t.
I was thinking the same...Either that, the backups need to tone it down a bit or give the lead a mic...To me, the backups kind of drown him out a bit...Otherwise, it's pretty good for non pros, lol
+lewisner They sing way to loud for not having a mic. When they would sing this with a mic it is easy to lower the volume on the background voices and give the lead more volume. Now the lead sings quite loud but the other guys just keep on singing way to loud which makes it very messy and overall an underwelming performance despite the arrangement being quite fun.
Aside from one minor point--it wasn't by Dion and the Belmonts, the Del Satins were backing him up--this was very awesome, you guys. SO glad people are keeping this music form alive.
Dion DiMucci would be proud at age 80. But correction.., it was studio backup group, The Del-Satins who recorded it with Dion as solo, post seperation of The Belmonts in late 1960. A 1961 release.
Was this a Phi Mu Alpha function and is this the chapter? If it is much praise to you all and if not still great job. oh and don't pay any mind to the comments that are bashing you. You done well!
11 years too late in finding this, but I love it!
Naked
@Yesica1993 Yeah, same here.

The voice of the guy is really really good
Excellent job guys!
00:52 why the long face, guy?
omg
He looked happier a few seconds after
This is a great performance, but the lead vocal *HAS* to be grittier. Dion had a beautiful voice but he also added a good deal of rasp to his voice.
Chris Serpicø I disagree. The voice is magnificent. They are not professionals
You don’t have to replicate everything exact. It’s good.

@@CipherSerpicohow about you and your 5 year old comment go fuck yourselves. Is that gritty enough for you?

Awesome guys!
You have no microphone. You did an amazing job. You all sing very well. Please do it again, while older than now.
i love this
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
AMAZING..
Fantastic background, very nice.
Great job ^_^ I enjoyed watching the video
Very nicely done.
This is great but IMHO it's a bit too busy with so many of them.
+lewisner my thoughts exactly!!!

Nobody cares about your opinion though
Wonderful cover
4 guys would have been plenty I'm not into choirs doing Doo Wop. Dion had 3 in the background but they were pros in all fairness.
He also had musicians… ❤
Wow... i love it
Pleas make more of these thinh
You. Are. Hella. Cute.
i love it
Wonderful job
too much fun!!!

very very very good!!
Iove.this.
How close is _TOO_ close when you’re watching a performance?

Good job guys!
Eleven years ago! Wonder what they're doing now.
complimenti.bellissima!
Awesomw, Congratulations!!!!
What is the boy (fourth from the left) wearing around his neck?! Also, why the long face? 😉
Runaround Sue love.
Very nice!
Awesome
LoL good stuff guys. You did it justice
very nice!!!
You guys are rather awesome. I wish I could rip off my mask and sing along with you.
You can rip off your mask, it’s a free country and it’s not protecting you anyway
Why? Are you Spider-Man?
Chills..
Guy in the American flag tie is fire
great!
Well done 👏
pero que bueno que esta loko!!! muy buen cover acapela!!!
Hahahah all the guy's are like what the fuck are we doing but still good
Muito show incrivel
Smooth
BUENISIMO. FELICITACIONES
¡Muy bueno!
Dear good!
Amazing, almost as good as Dion himself! (almost)
Cool❤
awesome guys... me too with Takamine EF 508
❤ ❤
Bravo boys❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The poor kid 5th from the left (next to American tie) never learned how to snap his fingers growing up, but his particular backup bit is cool!
Any of u guys have tips on how to sing better
The women in the audience are clueless. These men are the best they are likely to run across for the next 20+ years
give those guys some credit people , this is not easy .. Nice cover there , good job
for the culture
And they all found love that night ......♥️😉
Good job
Plus who wrote this arrangement?? Incredible!!!
Bear snap harmonies I ever heard
Wow , that's about three times as many singers as I have ever seen do accapella .. Not bad
nice cover
