having a hard day , went down the rabbit hole because of a NY Times article, and it led me to this. It was impossible not to smile and immediately feel better. Their joy was transmitted to me. Thank you.
Don't worry guys...you can do the lyrics anyway you want..most of us who loved it in the U.S. only understood about 30 percent of them anyway..in 1983!! :)
If you ever become a composer for a top university acapella group you’ll get to decide what fits your group and each song best. For now, your opinion means nothing
A little pitchy here and there but nothing awful. Kind of hard not to be with a decent sized group like that. Maybe they should have moved it up a step or two for the lead so it could be in his range a little bit more. I still enjoyed it though.
How dare they disgrace this masterpiece by putting a guy up there who doesn’t have the range to sing the song. He couldn’t hit that “Rye AAAA” octave if he sucked down a helium balloon.
The guy in the glasses is my spirit animal ❤️
He gives me life! So enthusiastic, it's incredible 😂😍
I was thinking the same thing. When I was young I would have liked to have had a dance partner like him.
Me too :)))
Why are you gay?
I literally watch this once a week never delete this
Same
it's been 3 years and im still watching this lmaoooo for whatever reason, it is comforting?
the lead was ok, better than i probably would have been, but the band was phenomenal. great job guys
chris t I get the feeling he was trying to sing with an accent. He's probably much better not forcing it
The best backing singers IN HISTORY
Best choir performance i've ever seen - full of energy & talent!
You should probably see more choir performances
the guy with glasses has the best dance moves
when you see it, you can't stop watching 😂
he is so sweet x3
He's the real hero of the video!
He killed it! Memes should be created after him, just sayin'.
_~nyan~_
I never saw ever never in my life something like that. Congratulations boys
WOW! I can only imagine how hard this must have been to get down! Spectacular performance of s great song!
A scouser singing the song of the nation, love to see it

I saw them when I worked at UVa. What a good experience and tradition!
Cool to see Charles Barkley doing the beats in the background.
That was incredible!!! You guys are all so cute and talented!
OMGGGGGG this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lead sounds like he's singing with a scouse accent. XD
He was born in Liverpool UK

Well, you took on one of the most complex tunes in rock history. Not sure I would've gone with the beatboxing, but bass lines are solid.

@@jimlahey3919
I'm sorry, did you say something after "hello I'm a useless a*hole"?
@@badgerbadgerton966 he's just stating that your opinion is just your opinion
@@RXTransit No way dude. He's being a c*nt. My opinion is sincere and valid. The opinions of a c*nt are toxic crap.
WELL DONE!!
I just fell in love with 14 men at the same time
Me too
excellent!
Love it. fantastic. 🙏🏻👍
really awesome!
I wanna see these guys
wowie!!!!

Although the lead singer is cute, he's not the greatest singer... nevertheless, it was still an awesome performance!
Stephanie agreed. He was very pitchy
@@frehleyscomet8812 He is pitchy but part of it is that the song is naturally pitchy
Aidan Schilling it sounded forced.
Awesome!
Black guy in the back doing the beatbox...😊
Half of the performance succes for me! 🙏🏼
Now I wanna see them perform at a barber shop
Great job, nerds!
woooooooooooow!!
Супер!!! Просто супер!!!!
LOOOOOOVE
lead is better than the live performance lol
A lot of things are better than the live performance sadly
🎶😌😌😌🎶
YEAH, RIGHT!!!
The picture of the video let me think this was elvis
Excelente!
Wow I didn't know the Warblers got back together.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
where can i get the sheet music?? I want to do it with my men's choir
See if you guys know anything else tomorrow or Friday morning freezing
Mágico😄👍
Nice!
Very cool
👏👏👏😍😍
I want to join them
U rock!
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of Get Him To The Greek
When did Russell Crowe join? Omg the les amis were singing back up 😱
😍😍😍
SWOON
I’d rather watch dexys live performance
Certainly different in a good way.
I didn't know Scott the woz was in a a a ccapella group
It’s like a bully’s dream buffet
I see Micah here, then I liked it!
i don't think i blinked once
Yo start at 3:30 and put at slow speed

I think the lead guy is Welsh.
I'm pretty these guy wouldn't mind coming on Eileen.
I started to get hype 3:42
damn
