- What would the barbershop classic "Hello My Baby" sound like if it were written/performed throughout the decades? The Newfangled Four provides a playful demonstration!
Inside Joke Alert: This is the first time for Newfangled Four to appear as mic testers for the International Quartet Finals, an honor given to the quartet placing 11th. The special guest featured is David Zimmerman, tenor of the outgoing champions Instant Classic, who have been teased all week with this particular knock knock joke. David gets them back, though, with his reply!

They look like they met in high school and achieved their dreams to sing together
that's close enough
Impractical jokers
Sounds like an anime
They remind me of Pentatonix
@@gurglequeen433 well Barbershop Quartets are just better Accapella groups
"Who could it be?!"

David Zimmerman never ceases to amaze....
He looks like vector and sounds like slimecl
THEY’RE NOT PYJAMAS

I don't think anyone here, or even the NewFangled Four themselves know exactly HOW MANY young barbershoppers started the genre simply BECAUSE of this video, because of this arrangement. It showed how versatile the barbershop style is, how fun it can be, that it's not just 4 old guys in straw hats and vests (sorry you classics). Almost every teenage barbershop singer I've met, myself included, all started here. Massive respect to everyone in the style working to make it enjoyable for everyone regardless of age, background, or singing experience. You inspired a generation of singers, long live the NewFangled Four, rest in peace
Rest In Peace?
@Dapper why

10:06 Are we just not gonna talk about how red-haired dude just held that note for 16 seconds flawlessly?? Like...whoa. I got lightheaded from watching that lol
His name is Jackson he's flipping amazing
Also it's called the hangar in Barbershop
@@tappip7694 Oh thanks!

So glad I wasnt the only one who thought "What in the world is Linus doing on his off time"

I’m just ready for him to drop a sponsor
I do not know why this was in my recommended.
But, I'm not disappointed.

that what is scary : youtube bot knows us better than ourselves. (if i made mistakes, it's because english is not my native language)
I'm upset this wasn't in my recomended

You aren't wrong!

I went and watched the entire lord of the rings trilogy and still came back before the redhead finished that last note

But who could it be?
Sugarlips McGee.
someone tell me how niche this is
there were so many inside jokes i didn't even know how to act
It's fairly typical for competing quartets to make some inside jokes, since the audience at competitions are mostly insiders.
Barely any inside jokes in this one, actually. It gets much better the deeper you dive lol!
I got a ton of references to movies and songs from different time periods.
black men
In this performance there's only one inside joke, which is the knock knock joke.
The "rapper" is David Zimmerman, tenor of Instant Classic, who won the 2015 International competition despite being pretty much unknown to the society, that's why the "Instant Classic who?" joke.
David's answer is due to the fact that The NewFangled Four hadn't reached the top 10 yet.
Heard the news about NF4s reitrement from International yesterday.
It certainly wont be the same without the Fangled, but these guys are intelligent comedic, and amazing singers. Circumstances and mental health problems suck, but NF4 not in the world is one id never wanna live in. You guys rocked the stage for almost 10 years and left a trail of awesomeness, popularity, and even Rick Rolling in your path. Much love to those guys. BHS 4 LIFE
I just read the article, so sad to see them go but also happy they made a choice most people or groups would ro and replace the other guy
What?! Noooooo
No way

what in the hell did I just find in 2019? This is nice
Check out the stuff from them that came out in the last week. They've only gotten better and more ridiculous.
The algorithm is weird it randomly popped up for me
Hello from 2020
I know, Jan 2020
2020 is wild
You would think that Hello My Baby referring to a long-distance relationship over telephone would become quickly dated, but it's honestly even more relevant today than it was back in 1899. The fact that it's stuck around for over 130 years relatively unchanged is testament to that.
Jackson aint thicc he just got big lungs
He ain't thick, he's fat.
His body construct of

10% lungs

I feel like Barbershop is the musical equivalent of the “pun”.
Pointe.
...y'know, I WANT to disagree and argue with you, but you're exactly right and I' blown away I never realised that until now, thank you
Please explain that to me?
I love the fact that the very last section is basically them showing "we could do it normally and sound fantastic, but we just want to do our own thing".
10:06 can we all just take a moment to applaud that man for somehow managing to hold that note and not collapse his lungs?
Bigger body, Bigger lungs, bigger lung capacity I guess

I... feel down the internet rabbit hole.
I'm... supposed to be researching a paper on the globalization of food processes.
I... want to do this instead. I got 0 of the inside jokes but it was still fun to watch and I want to watch more. Like, now.
Edit: for thoes asking, yes I ended up doing the paper and I actually passed the class. I refound this video and this comment after falling down the same internet rabbit hole few months ago when I was supposed to be researching a paper on mortality bias in childhood bio archeology. Luckily I passed that course too.
Esme Wayne did you ever do the research?
@@Ratboi229 Asking the real question here
Yeah, I'm writing a paper on Sputnik's effect on the American education system. How am I here? :P
@@Qwertified108 How did it go?
@@alejandrogallardo I passed lol. Turns out I think I needed a break to write again 😜. Just a month until graduation. Maybe I should watch more Newfangled Four videos 😂
My favorite things about this
1. "Baby my heart's on fire. AAAAA"
2. "Sugar-Lips McGee"
3. Every time they had to get the genre out of Jackson
4. "Brought to you by Bromoseltzer"
5. Their dancing throughout the whole video
6. Jake at 3:39
7. The imaginary banjos
8. Ryan craving death all throughout the Rap section
9. Joey hugging scary rap dude
10. Jackson's knock knock joke

I can't be the only one who absolutely loves the swing rendition.
Nope, You are not the only one. If you'd like to hear something like it, check out the delta rhythm boys.
I don't know why I wanted to hear "Hello My Baby" as a Gregorian chant.
Jorge A oooooh!!! Yes!!!!
YESSSS
Jorge A I can tell u really like music
YESS
@The Boss:
Chants I believe are mostly harmonized in the perfect intervals which has a very specific and INTERESTING sound it's not about bland or what's complex, it's how the sound comforms to fit a mood - in the context of this performance I think a chant style "hello my baby" could add a lot
also... why be so negative man the dude was just trying to add something to this performance and you gotta just shut it down?

Nah, it was prophecy. They DID make the top ten the next year.
They have, twice.
1:21 That “hello my baby” was hauntingly good, as was the rest of the performance.
Hey guess what, The Newfangled Four DID make the 10 the next year. LOL
I thought was 9? And then 6th, hopefully 1st this year
EnchantedGamer9 “the 10” means the top 10. The 9 and 6th are in the top 10

I used to sing in a barbershop chorus 40 years ago and we were good, but these gentlemen are on a whole other level. Great work guys.
"instant classic wh--"
"EXACTLY"
i choked
I started listening barbershop, like, a week ago. I know David Zimmerman is from the “Instant Classic”, but I didn’t get the reference. Can someone explain the joke to me please?
Mikhahl he’s joking around that the newfangled four are really good and David’s quartet are nobody’s when in reality, they are
Aj the Asian. Oh, ok thanks. Now I get it.
@@mikhahl and the comeback bassically was maybe you'll make the top 10 the next year

Oh don't mind me, just rewatching the first NF4 video I had ever watched after finding out about them retiring from international and possibly crying.
Sincerely though, y'all have brought so much joy to my life. I loved your music and humor so much that I started wanting to seriously learn how to sing. I mean, I still do, but you guys are the ones that inspired me so much during some honestly not so great times. I'm so glad y'all are making the decision that is right for everyone's mental health, but I'll still miss you so much.
Thank y'all. So much. For everything. The music, the laughs, the tears, and the genuine connection you all have to your audience. Sending you all the love I can.
It’s ok to cry…we all did
They're back!!
Ok. I wanted to hear the metal version.
Music Maniac same
Langa Motsi th-cam.com/video/VU5Ek-CVNsU/w-d-xo.html you’re in luck!
I love how much fun they had on stage and then at the end they just wip out that crazy chord change stack. Holy wow. Also impressive breath control.
Joey: sings the same song several times each with different rhythms
Also Joey: can't say a sentence
"...Newfingled - IT'S MY FIRST TIME! - Newfangled 4..."

I had no idea Chris Hemsworth, Jonah Hill, Ryan Gosling and John Cho had a barbershop quartet! Nice guest spot by DJ Qualls from Road Trip as well!
Seriously though. What a great performance by a talented bunch of guys.

Isn't it cheating to use the red headed gentleman, Jackson? Dude's clearly got artificial lungs he uses to sustain notes for days, wouldn't that be performance enhancement?
(It's a joke I swear, don't hurt me D:)
Tanis Annicchiarico u calling him fat?
When you're older you'll see nothing wrong with performance enhancement
Don’t worry, they were only mic testing so they’re allowed to cheat
Me: ok i wont hurt u unless IF YOU ME YOUR MONEY.
Tanis: (inhales deeply) AAAAAHHH
Me: I GIVE YOU SLAP IN THE FACE.
Tanis: NO NO NO AAAH-
(Well be right back).
Nah im just joking.
He got lung extensions
1:09 the eye contact that man is maintaining with the camera is astonishingly astronomical.
Ok my mouth dropped when Jackson started his part for the blues part.
Samme
9:18. What a save, he stuck the landing. Brilliantly done.
Those last chords, esp. that crescendo on the final one, their voices locking on perfect consonance, hit my ears and my brain like some kind of illegal drug.
Drugs and music are both very fun and pleasing when engaged with responsibly
Holy shit that dude's got some lungs
Hylian Ruler Have you ever heard of Tim Waurick?
Jak Adanz honestly, I know of him, but never actually heard him.
Listen to the tag on When I See An Elephant Fly by Vocal Spectrum. Tim's the one holding the post.
Hylian Ruler I
what if he's a smoker?
They just look like they are having so much fun
A hilarious performance- but that finale is seriously one of the most impressive barbershop cadences I've ever heard.
that guy who messed up his little speech 😂🤣
if you mess up you mess up with style haha and he nailed it!
Jackson is insane. Dude held out a stellar high note for 16 seconds.
But look at Tim Waurick's cover of "Go The Distance-" he holds that one out for almost 35!
I like that this is mic test and it has the second most views on the channel.
And we'll probably never see this art for a long time
8:40 I absolutely love the crowd reaction
These guys are awesome. Never would have started listening to barbershop if it weren’t for them.
It takes enormous talent and had work to do parody so well. A total delight.
This is very possibly one of the most delightful things I've seen in a very long time. They're so talented and they clearly have so much fun performing!
The audience is absolutely on fire and I love it!
7:05
Fresh rhymes? nah, guy looks like he's about to drop some fresh new tech tips on us
'Maybe you'll make the ten next year' While this was fire, he was right!
Luca Dynamo can you explain that to me I don’t get this
@@Yeet-oj5sh "make it to the ten" means making it to the Top 10 of this competition. That time Newfangled Four placed 11th so David (The guy in white) tried to shade them by saying "Maybe you'll make it to the ten next year." Which actually happened last year because NF4 placed 6th!
The moment Jackson starting the blues version, I fell in love
The guy you refer to as 'red-haired guy' is Jackson Niebrugge. This talented guy deserves a simple Google search.
I saw them perform a couple of nights ago. These young men are brilliant; tight, composed, and funny as hell. They have a bright future singing for many, many, many decades to come! Love to see them shine brighter^^
its a shame that the majority of our culture has forgotten about the treasure that is prettyboys harmonizing :-(
True that
He messed up with introducing the Rock n Roll cover but it was adorable, so it's all good.

I DON'T CARE WHAT UNIVERS YOU COME FROM THAT HAS GOT TO HURT
I, Magicalmerlin5, being of sound body and mind, do so here dedicate all my personal belongings and effects to my dog, Sadie. I do so on the occasion that I have fallen down a rabbit hole of acapella music vids and have no intention, nor the strength to escape
I am so happy I landed on this video. I am from India and had no idea about what a barbershop quartet was. I have been binging on The Newfangled Four for the last three years and they are such a mood lifter! Such gifted voices and such a vibrant stage presence. It truly breaks borders and one falls in love with them in no time. Delighted to see them grow and they deserve every bit of it.
Hope to catch them live someday ❤️

Thank you so much guys, The Newfangled Four made me discover and love Barbershop. Hope you will have a fantastic life whatever you do. Blessings to Ryan.
People under estimate the effects of these underated styles of music. The reason they work so well even now is because they are folk classics that our grandparents and great grandparents loved, and from hearing them it's a reminiscent feeling of family.
Their special guest looks like he just graduated from kindergarten.
Playboy Bill Nye
These guys are obviously more than just a quartet! In all their little interactions - Jake and Ryan laughing when Joey messes up his intro(s), Jackson cracking up at "it's my first time!" Even the clearly-improvised dance moves during the disco rendition and Ryan barely holding back hysterical laughter at 7:10. This group of guys are the adult version of working on a school project with your best friends.
Oh the many faces of David Zimmerman

?
So much emotion in that one face that it's petrifying his facial muscles.
Had to come back to this after the announcement.
Good luck boys! You have wonderful futures ahead of you!
Im happy that the description has explained the inside joke bc it makes it even better
1:30 EVERYONE in the audience swooned. Man, Woman, Dog, Cat, Half Man, Half Woman, Bad Boy, and Good Boy.
This is going to be my favorite category of music this year. Thanks youtube algorithm
