“If they were a little more talented as a group they could be something” In Australia and New Zealand they are something. They are a great comedy band. Also that song at the end, birdplane, that is one of their songs
I found this song a long time ago. It’s great! Unfortunately, I only found two great songs by these guys, from around the same time. The other song is ‘How To Write A Love Song’. I think you will enjoy it equally or more: th-cam.com/video/L2cfxv8Pq-Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ufbExVM3EYt4BMEi
There is a video of them doing this song at a concert. In the intro, Benny says to Jordan, "They [the audience] know all about this. Why don't you?" and Jordan answers "I am feigning ignorance to maintain a comedic conceit."
The reason "Canvas Bags" gets such a big laugh is because Tim Minchin had just been on stage and performed it - they dropped it in at the last minute as an extra joke. There are also many different versions of this song that they do - as you say, they could go on for hours.
They're from Australia playing at the Melbourne Comedy Festival (also in Australia) so there's quite a few Australian songs in there that might not be as widely known internationally
As an Aussie that saw this years ago..I am just so proud of this act! -And just love it when I see someone (especially foreigners) see it for the first time. They not only got the base joke of the whole act down, but they build something creative and completely engaging in every single verse...practically every line ups the ante. From Jolly Swagman to C'mon Barbie, to Canvas Bags...and Canvas Bags was hard to top considering Minchin had only just played it on stage...but the finale ,"Now doesn't that sound familiar?"...and the final stroke of genius, "That's all it takes to be a star." Just so, so well put together. P.S. I've seen a lot of versions, and almost always noone catches the first joke before the song , "we've been a band for close to 40yrs now...". (they're each about 30!). I've even heard them ramp it up to 50, and it still goes over everyone's head!
The shtick for the axis of awesome is based on benny being the best singer and also the most forgotten. Along with the left guy being a terrible singer.
Important context for sure (really also quite unsure whether or not she knew this). But to be fair it's also rather irrelevant if the sole point of this video is reacting to their vocal skills :)
I always saw it as Benny being the brains of the operation, Jordan being probably the more conventional singer/rock musician, and Lee just being there for comedic relief. Although you can argue that Benny is probably a better singer than Jordan too.
@@drewdavis2392 I found it hilarious that "Birdplane" was the one that got her to go "Pitch, though, middle guy. Pitch". I'm curious how she would have reacted if she knew that one was actually their own song.
The thing to keep in mind about Axis of Awesome is that they are "comedians who use music" rather than "musicians who use comedy." Benny -- the piano player -- is the only actual musician in the group, the others being actors/comedians who have some musical talent. Lee -- the guy with the guitar who you wondered what he was doing -- is actually their primary songwriter. Benny, by the way, has a series of solo videos where he examines "the other four chords."
It's a "cookie cutter" because those chords sound really good together in that order. It's the first four chords of Pachebel's Canon (D A Bm G), so it's quite old, too.
@@drewmiller335 Good but at this point boring. After i was taught about modulations and how they work i haven't listened music the same. My guitar teacher basically ruined simple harmonies for me but i don't blame him.
If you want complex chord changes, listen to jazz. Pop music is meant to be easily digested. Using a simple chord progression that sounds good just makes sense in context.
What was crazy for me was that even an old folk song like Waltzing Matilda works. Also, as a rule, if there are Aussies it's best to expect swearing. We do it a lot.
It's not an Australian thing, as it might be said. Don't make us Aussies known for swearing all the time I think you're wrong there, because I'm a typical Aussie and know where it's appropriate to swear.
Love this channel !!! The Melbourne comedy festival does give a warning to good folks who might be offended by swearing Some of the audience in Melbourne are somewhat bohemian and alternative These guys are more of a comedy act that can sing.
Axis of Awesome is a comedy band, they are somewhat meant to sound kinda 'bad' that's the tall guys bit he is meant to sing bad. It's made funnier when he is given songs that are hard generally to sing "if i were a boy" is high af
This admittedly isn't Jordan's best performance, imo - I don't know if they worked with a voice coach later, but they got a lot tighter as a group as time went on. Lee (the one with the guitar) can't really sing, so they play that up for comic effect (they also act as tho he's very dim, but as he's their tech person -among other things- I'm pretty sure that''s also just for comic effect). I love AoA & really hope they start touring again someday! I adore their songs 'I Love Being A Cow' (it's a Christmas song! lol), '1 in 3', & 'The Glorious Epic of 3 Guys Who Are Awesome'; honorable mention goes to 'We Are So Young'! Check them out sometime!
Exactly what I was thinking. Their intention was to be humorous, and they nailed it. They don't all need to have pitch perfect angelic voices to entertain
I preferred your previous setting for the sound. In this new one it sounds like the audio is captured much farther from you and we can hear the room echo, which gives it a cheaper feel.
My Senior year of HS, my band directors showed my class this song and it was extremely eye opening and absolutely hilarious! I went on to study composition in college and it's insane how widely used those 4 chords really are used!
I'm sure Sara wont see this, and even if she does, she probably wont pick the band since they're not what most of her viewers would normally listen to, but hear me out: Beast In Black. The singer has an amazing vocal range. Absolutely nuts! You can go listen to their first single "Blind & Frozen" either recorded or live version, and hear what I'm talking about. I have never heard another male with a similar vocal range, it's insane.
Such a blast from the past!! One of the early viral hits, I would say! In high school my friends and I would all start singing this whenever we were bored and someone had a guitar.
Haha YES! Such a yt classic! When this came out my friends and I in orchestra were always trying to come up with our own fav songs to fit with 4 chords lol! Man good times
Hey I saw you recently reacted to voiceplay and you were very impressed by them. They recently dropped a new song: "oogie boogie song". Their bass, Geoff, takes the lead and is absolutely amazing!
As a player trained in jazz and who listens to metal, I greatly appreciate your wish that the average listener might give songs beyond that chord progression a try. Keep preaching it
So these guys are Australian and there is a big history of musical comedy in Australian. Check out The Doug Anthony All Stars Tim Minchin Tripod to name a few.
OMG I agree with you SO MUCH about the 'shame' that all the big hits are these simple repeated chord progressions with minor variations. Unfortunately the reason it works is it gives a subconscious sense of familiarity that makes new pop songs already feel warm and nice and thus can also easily become hits. It's all about making money at the end of the day. Absolutely adore you, you're amazing and I wish I could take lessons because you sing so beautifully and me so terribly!
just for the record - the reason waltzing matilda got such a reaction from the audience is that waltzing matilda happens to be aussie's unofficial anthem lol
You should watch their "How to Write a Love Song" video if you haven't already. You'll never listen to 90's R&B the same way again. Also watch a couple of Benny Davis's solo songs: "Stay at Home Dad" and "Lonely Girl" are amazing.
Time for Nightwish "Romanticide" live in Wacken 2013. My tone deaf ears tell it might have other chords than these four. Having Floor singing is a plus. ;)
Hi Tara, as always, I enjoyed your reaction. Voiceplay just released The Oogie Boogie song from Nightmare Before Christmas featuring Geoff (the Bass). I was stunned by what he did vocally in the performance. Please react to this new video. Thanks!
Meeeeh, you don’t really watch that AoA vid for their vocal performance (although it is one of their best lives on YT). You really just watch them for the concept and the fact that they can sing
This exact performance is new to me (despite being in my home city), but I already loved the group and the song. Saw that you were reacting to it, and just thought "Tara's going to love this"
This was fun watching you laugh!!! It was great seeing you laugh!!! Good to know that you appreciate comedy as well as Great Music!! Thoroughly Entertaining!!! Thank you for this video!!! #Tarabytes 👍👍👍👌👌👌🥇🏆💜💜💜💛💛💛
Don't know what the guy on the left is doing? You mean Lee? He's providing the funniest parts, that's what! It's just that you weren't paying enough attention! You were also talking over a couple of his best bits so you completely missed them.
Hello Tara, please react to Diana Ankudinova, besides Dimash this Girl blew me away like none .. a good Start would be her rendition of "Wicked Game". Other good Songs she covered on a TV Show were "Rechenka", "Human" and "It's a Man's World" and she was only 15 at these Performances
They have multiple versions of this and have other ones where they even include music by Pavoratti I believe, as well as many other songs not done here.
Tara you are absolutely gorgeous; the video was hilarious your reaction even more so. Keep up the good work, this was almost as good as your reaction to Home Frees cover of Man of Constant Sorrow.
They DO go on and on and on. Each version they play, they use different songs. Not 100% new songs every time, but they do mix it all up. Also, the big about the bird plane bit was a reference to another original song they've done. Which is why it didn't quite fit.
Omg soooooo true!!! I’ve been so tired of this chord progression. I like to make music and I always try to stay away from these chords as much as possible... just wanna be different.
Hi Tara, you should listen to their 'How to write a love song' song by Axis of Awesome. It's hilarious and sooo true lol. Being a vocal coach I think you would get a great laugh out of it.
I personal think, that the reason we tend to like theese songs with the 4 cords is because, there are som much noise in our daily rutines..., cars, planes, PEOPLE, traffic in general and tv's, music, radio and so on and on and on... We have started to found peace in some minor things..., we can't go BIG in how we hear music, because we are so feed up by noice, talk and so on, so many people can't relate to more than 4 cords in general... We are emposed on the fact, that we are hurting our self, with all the things we want to do..., instead of the things we need to do, therefor we use our limited amount of energy on many things, and therefor we can't get too much envolment in each thing... Just my theory.... 😋🦿🔉🎤🔊🎶🎵🎼 And it has always been like that..., some people like some things better than other..., some like Beethoven, others Bach, or Mozart..., but even then it was the ear..., by time we have been inclined to hear more and more of the same...
Super fun video! I've been a fan of Axis of Awesome for a while and they continue to get better all the time. The pianist has his own TH-cam channel called BennyTheHumanJukebox, where he does a lot more of his solo stuff. These three are childhood friends who decided to get together and sing some funny songs, even though only one of them had any training in vocals. I'd love to see you react to the Newfangled Four singing Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. I'd recommend last year's performance, rather than the new one. This is mainly because they made some changes to the arrangement that make more sense in context of having seen their previous rendition. Either that, or Notre Dame Medley by Ringmasters (Remastered Audio). Love you!
CANNIBAL CORPSE REACTION!!!!!!!! so kidding. You are amazing first off. New sub. As a guitar player I can say those four chords are the first chords in that particular progression that I learned as well as adding the extra chord that makes up cannon by pachelbell and I absolutely love them and are such good practice for beginners.
The middle dude reminds me of that person you know that sings well, but you can't help but think "If only you had some professional teaching, you'd be phenomenal". I don't mean that as an insult either, I love this song and I think both it and Axis of Awesome are...well...awesome!
You should react to Floor Jansen (lead singer of nightwish) & Henk Poort (famouse opera singer) with their version of 'Phantom of the Opera' from the singing contest 'Beste Zangers 2019'
@@tomricejr Yes about E1 to A5 (So a 5th short of 5 octaves) if you don't count the varies bass slides where he dips down to a D1 or C#1. An incredible range and an amazing singer.

the real talent here is how well they have used the lyrics and knowing when to stop, that´s the hard part.

Craig Murray now that’s talent! ✊🏾
id love to see a few different versions

You must know that playing guitar while singing isn't that easy. You have to focus on your left and right hand while singing

Grumpy you have to mention the middle guy when you summarize the group xD

All I can say is god bless that outfit..
Scott Crosby she’s a beautiful woman but I would prefer less of chest and more focus on her and her voice. Not a fan of her outfit for TH-cam.
Anna B
You probably don't look anywhere as good as she does. Stop hating. She's hot and confident.
Too much boob
That outfit was great!
@@Team1Olson such a thing is not possible
For anyone who doesn't know, the chord progression they were using in this is 1 5 6 4. You can transpose that into any key.
Note that the 6 is minor. If you're playing in C, all notes are "on the white keys". It would be C - G - Am - F
The cookie cutter of the cookie cutters.
It's a "cookie cutter" because those chords sound really good together in that order. It's the first four chords of Pachebel's Canon (D A Bm G), so it's quite old, too.

I'd fit right in Australia. 😂 In the US, it's....hit or miss on where swearing is acceptable or not.
It's not an Australian thing, as it might be said. Don't make us Aussies known for swearing all the time I think you're wrong there, because I'm a typical Aussie and know where it's appropriate to swear.
The best reaction to this song I've seen by far, it's so "sing-alongable" and I love every moment that you sing-along as I do too!
Love Axis of Awesome. I've seen them live several times and they are always great.
Love this channel !!!
The Melbourne comedy festival does give a warning to good folks who might be offended by swearing

There was sound in this video...?
My Senior year of HS, my band directors showed my class this song and it was extremely eye opening and absolutely hilarious! I went on to study composition in college and it's insane how widely used those 4 chords really are used!
I'm sure Sara wont see this, and even if she does, she probably wont pick the band since they're not what most of her viewers would normally listen to, but hear me out:
Beast In Black.

Oooh I just saw them live in december with Nightwish. His voice is absolutely nuts.
"dead simple to write a pop hit" *proceeds to write a pop hit*
WHAT A FUN VIDEO!🤣😂😁 fun outfit too! You must have a HUGE closet LOL!
Such a blast from the past!! One of the early viral hits, I would say! In high school my friends and I would all start singing this whenever we were bored and someone had a guitar.
I believe they have used over 200 songs in this over the year. You are right when you say “hours and hours”
1:05
Haha YES! Such a yt classic! When this came out my friends and I in orchestra were always trying to come up with our own fav songs to fit with 4 chords lol! Man good times
The "original" singer of "will be loved" (with or without you) does it in their ideal key from the start!
Hey I saw you recently reacted to voiceplay and you were very impressed by them. They recently dropped a new song: "oogie boogie song". Their bass, Geoff, takes the lead and is absolutely amazing!
You thought you could hide from me!?
This band updates this every so often to add more songs. Those would be fun to check out too
The drop in of Canvas Bags is a specific one for the Comedy Festival, ‘cause that was by Tim Minchin, and he’s phenomenal for comedy.
And of course they’re own MFing birdplane song makes them liars when they say at the start “we’ve never written a four chord song”.
@@JasperJanssenit is based on another song though
I just saw this vid, after having loved Axis of Awesome and this song for ages. Great to see a new perspective on it!
As a player trained in jazz and who listens to metal, I greatly appreciate your wish that the average listener might give songs beyond that chord progression a try. Keep preaching it
great choice of jacket! :-D

OMG what a coincidence. I watched this video for the first time in years yesterday and now you are reacting to it. Amazing. Or youtube algorithm.
WATCH OOGIE BOOGIE MAN BY VOICPLAY
get as many likes so she sees this
Marcello Berry yesssssss
Honestly! Its will shake her to the core. Geoff is crazy!
Tara, if you were gobsmacked by the bass in VoicePlay's Moana, you will need a few days to recover from his performance in Oogie Boogie Man.
I literally came over to comment this
Someone beat me to it. I was just coming here to tell her to react to it. I NEED to see her reaction to Geoff's last note!!!
OMG I agree with you SO MUCH about the 'shame' that all the big hits are these simple repeated chord progressions with minor variations.

Absolutely adore you, you're amazing and I wish I could take lessons because you sing so beautifully and me so terribly!
they did a redo of this song that's almost 6 minutes and it's REALLY messed up
just for the record - the reason waltzing matilda got such a reaction from the audience is that waltzing matilda happens to be aussie's unofficial anthem lol
Works for country music too. 1-4-5 with 2nd or 6th minor(sometimes the 7th)
🙌🏻🥰
You should watch their "How to Write a Love Song" video if you haven't already. You'll never listen to 90's R&B the same way again. Also watch a couple of Benny Davis's solo songs: "Stay at Home Dad" and "Lonely Girl" are amazing.
"if they were more talented as a group" - yeah, just because you hadn't heard of them, doesn't make them nobodies. They are big even here in the UK.
They were a comedy group as far as I understand & Jordan the centre guy is now a lady
The guy playing the Piano is Benny. He has his own youtube channel "BennyTheJukebox" and it is really worth checking out.
Benny is the man!
Fun review. Just saw the latest release from voiceplay...the oogie boogie song. Geoff on full display. Really fun video.
And this one..
Time for Nightwish "Romanticide" live in Wacken 2013. My tone deaf ears tell it might have other chords than these four. Having Floor singing is a plus. ;)

You shall find me on every Oogie Boogie Song comments lol.

Meeeeh, you don’t really watch that AoA vid for their vocal performance (although it is one of their best lives on YT). You really just watch them for the concept and the fact that they can sing
If she was my teacher I wouldn't be learning lmao. Gorgeous
This exact performance is new to me (despite being in my home city), but I already loved the group and the song.
Saw that you were reacting to it, and just thought "Tara's going to love this"
So glad you did this, figured you'd have some insight into this one.
Not sure why it didn't show up for me til today though...
🙌🏻🥰
"You could go on with this for hours".
She should watch their other versions of this XD I think they remade this song... twice? Three times?
Jordan, the person in the middle is a woman :P she came out a few years ago, way after 4 chords was released.
That was really great Tara, I had no idea about the 4 chords, but that's pretty awesome. and I must say, you look fantastic today girl.

5:12 That song (Birdplane) is one of their songs.
That was fun to watch you laugh at this. Thank you.
I remember watching this when I was little! I'm 16 now and so glad to have watched this video again, the memories.
The dude playing guitar had the most amazing vocals I've ever heard, I don't know what you're talking about
I personal think, that the reason we tend to like theese songs with the 4 cords is because, there are som much noise in our daily rutines..., cars, planes, PEOPLE, traffic in general and tv's, music, radio and so on and on and on...
We have started to found peace in some minor things..., we can't go BIG in how we hear music, because we are so feed up by noice, talk and so on, so many people can't relate to more than 4 cords in general...
We are emposed on the fact, that we are hurting our self, with all the things we want to do..., instead of the things we need to do, therefor we use our limited amount of energy on many things, and therefor we can't get too much envolment in each thing...
Just my theory.... 😋🦿🔉🎤🔊🎶🎵🎼
And it has always been like that..., some people like some things better than other..., some like Beethoven, others Bach, or Mozart..., but even then it was the ear..., by time we have been inclined to hear more and more of the same...
Super fun video! I've been a fan of Axis of Awesome for a while and they continue to get better all the time. The pianist has his own TH-cam channel called BennyTheHumanJukebox, where he does a lot more of his solo stuff. These three are childhood friends who decided to get together and sing some funny songs, even though only one of them had any training in vocals.
I'd love to see you react to the Newfangled Four singing Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. I'd recommend last year's performance, rather than the new one. This is mainly because they made some changes to the arrangement that make more sense in context of having seen their previous rendition. Either that, or Notre Dame Medley by Ringmasters (Remastered Audio).
Love you!
You should react to Voice Play's rendition of Oogie Boogie's song from the Nightmare Before Christmas. It's mostly the bass, Geoff, and all awesome.
Tim Lattin *whispers* and this one!
Beau Dermott is Amanda Holden's golden girl | Week 1 Auditions | Britain’s Got Talent 2016 Defying Gravity is a really good cover!
These guys are so awesome. I love this so much.
CANNIBAL CORPSE REACTION!!!!!!!! so kidding. You are amazing first off. New sub. As a guitar player I can say those four chords are the first chords in that particular progression that I learned as well as adding the extra chord that makes up cannon by pachelbell and I absolutely love them and are such good practice for beginners.
The notes being played are E, B, C#, A.
But you can transpose them anywhere on the fretboard you like.
I only know one other song of theirs, "The elephant in the room", which I absolutely adore.
omg what a blast from the past remember watching this like 10yrs ago hahahaha
Love Tara love this song love everything about this
The middle dude reminds me of that person you know that sings well, but you can't help but think "If only you had some professional teaching, you'd be phenomenal". I don't mean that as an insult either, I love this song and I think both it and Axis of Awesome are...well...awesome!
I think at the time she had just started hormones. That probably had an impact on her voice. She's a woman now.
Love how much you were enjoying the video!
They have done a updated version of this
Love the jacket!
You should react to Floor Jansen (lead singer of nightwish) & Henk Poort (famouse opera singer) with their version of 'Phantom of the Opera' from the singing contest 'Beste Zangers 2019'
You should react to voiceplay's oogie boogie's song. There bass singer traverses nearly 4 octaves in the song.
From what I understand his actual range is just over 5 octaves. Love his voice too.
@@tomricejr Yes about E1 to A5 (So a 5th short of 5 octaves) if you don't count the varies bass slides where he dips down to a D1 or C#1. An incredible range and an amazing singer.
Yes! Oogie Boogie's Song! th-cam.com/video/EbxkOntz2SA/w-d-xo.html
And this one as well!
I’ve officially liked and commented on every post requesting you do the Oogie Boogie Song by Voiceplay. My work here is done...
Even this one!!
😂😂
Ed sheeran won his doing this wish George Harrison did this for my sweet lord cos of she's so fine he would have won case and not pay
My music teacher shows this as an example whilst we compose lmao
I think my music teacher showing this video is how I discovered them too
Great job keep up the great work I always enjoy your opinion
