This is such a fun mashup of songs. Very cleverly done from one song to another. The talent these guys have is phenomenal. They have so much fun but the vocals never suffer. And Adam's beatboxing is on another level. This was Chris Rupp's idea to do.
I'll second that! Great arrangement by Geoff and you can tell that the love and respect between the two groups is real and heartfelt. Yet another one where it looks like they had a real blast making the video and produced a great new version of this classic.
So, u need to go check out Chris Rupp’s Channel and watch his reaction to this song. He is the one that came up with the original idea for this and approached Lane about arranging it. Of course Adam got involved to to help with the Beatboxing going with it. During the Baby got Back section Tim was Beatboxing, that’s y he was in Rob’s face spitting on him. Chris did the bass and Adam did the scratching.
Apparently a lot of people do not like Jason Derulo. However, a number of years back he did a collab with Pentatonix on his song "If I Ever Fall In Love". I have never heard anyone who doesn't like Jason Derulo say they didn't like this collab. It's pretty awesome! Since I know you like PTX, you should react to it. Thanks! Great reaction and great sound - even for a hotel room!
The acapella world is such a small one that, for the most part, everyone knows everyone else. And, they all work together, to some extent. Geoff Castelluci has helped with arrangements for Home Free, Austin has helped with arrangements for Voice Play, Geoff has done the dance moves for some of Home Free's videos ( 9 to 5 comes prominently to mind ), and various groups will lend members to one another for a song or two. The world is small, acapella, but it's pretty tight knit. And, they all help one another out as much as they can. So, yeah, don't be overly surprised to see the names of members of one group in the credits for the videos of another. It happens all the time. Fun video, good reaction. I would suggest, if I could, that you back the video up about 5 seconds after you pause. This way not as much of the feel, not as much of the vibe, is lost when you have to stop for a second. Other than that minor thing, well done, sir.
VoicePlay and Home Free were in season 4 of The Sing-Off. HF won season 4 and PTX won season 3. Please notice in this video the only butt shaking you see are the guys, never any of the women. Well, the Home Free guys and Buegs, the big guy in the cut-off overalls (which he got from Tim who wore them in Champagne Taste) who's a good friend of Robs.
Great reaction thank you. What's so good about the a capella groups is they get along so well together. Tim was part of a song VoicePlay did for a money raiser and had different singers a part of it. And Tim and Geoff were so funny....Just Sing... really good. Then for Home Free...In The Blood...Friends In Low Places ..All About That Bass...Bless The Broken Road... you can't miss. Up to you. Have fun.
If you watch Just Sing make sure to have the closed caption on. Names and information on the singers is a huge part of the experience of enjoying this song.
Voice Play and Home Free have a great relationship. Both Tim and Rob have guested on VP songs, and Geoff Castellucci arranged Elvira for Home Free's collab with The Oak Ridge Boys.
Yeah, Home Free and VoicePlay were in the same season in The Sing-Off. All of the groups who performed become good friends who help one another out. There is even a Hillbillies vs Zombies version of I'm A Survivor that the two collaborated together with. This isn't the first song that a member of VoicePlay helped arranged, so always awesome to see these groups work together to bring us great entertainment through music.
Yeah Home Free is all about keeping it wholesome and family friendly. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk is a real song by Trace Atkins. Definitely not as wholesome lol. Also, one of the best things about acapella groups is that they are all really supportive of each other. There is even a collaboration between the two groups, Home Free and Voice Play, called Survivor: Zombies vs. Hillbillies. That one is funny. For Home Free the next song you could do is Elvira. That one was actually arranged by Geoff Castellucci. Just phenomenal and its got those low notes you like. If your gonna do more Voice Play, try Just Sing. That is another collaborative effort with a bunch of different singers for a great cause. I would recommend watching with the subtitles on because it says who every singer is and also Tim Foust is in it! Good luck on finding a new place to live. I know that can be tough
Love this! If you like this, you’ll love Hillbilly Bone. This one being as old as it is had Chris Rupp, Adam’s brother (guy in the cowboy hat). Hillbilly Bone has Adam Chance in it.
Love Home Free, enjoying your reactions! A couple of other mashups that are great fun - Country fried pop medley and Fishing in the Dark/Boondocks. They have so many great songs it's hard to go wrong! Woman Amen/Female also :)
They are so good with their percussion sounds that it's hard to believe there are no instruments in this. The bass "dom dom dom" in the background and the beatboxer's drumming, so good, all of them are. Home Free and VoicePlay were on the Sing-Off together the same season 4. (Home Free won the season) but they have been very close ever since and Chris, Rob and Tim have been VoicePlay videos (seperately) with them, and they have done a video together as well arrangements together too.
This is very normal between these acapella groups. Many of them help each other with music, arrangements, etc...Tim, Jeff, and Avi have done a lot of co-arranged stuff in the past. There is a whole lot of crappy competition, but more of a "let's help each other do well" type thing going on! Refreshing, isn't it? And, they DO give credit where it is due.
Yep, that was Austin shaking his butt. Hahaha. Love this. These guys are nuts and I love them. Yes, they collaborate with other a cappella groups at times. They’ve worked with Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix before (Ring of Fire) and they’ve also been in some of Voice Play videos. They help each other out. Just too much fun. Good reaction Rob.
I just found you this morning. The wife and I are big time Home Fries. I'm sure your subs will go up with the Home Free reactions. Home Fries gather at those reactions for some reason. Now that you know who is who and who does what in the group, you really need to check out their cover of Cam's "Mayday". You will love that. Since you love the deep voice songs check out their song "Brothers in Arms". They have so many great songs that you really can't go wrong picking any of them. I don't think I've heard one single song that I didn't like. It's great seeing all genres reacting to genres out of their wheelhouse, or genres they didn't really grow up with. Love your reactions and look forward to a lot more, especially from the Home Free catalog.
This is hilarious! They are really funny when they want to be. Like you, I thought Tim did a superb job with the bass. Listen to “Cover Me Up” “ Helplessly Hoping” “ When A Man Loves A Woman” “ Hillbilly Bone”🐝🤗❤️
Looking for a new home is such a pain in the ass. Good luck man. In any case this medley is hilarious. The vocal layering towards the ends is nothing short of amazing.
Geoff Castellucci of Voiceplay helped with the arrangement for Home Free's collaboration with The Oakridge Boys on "Elvira". Yes. These guys know each other and work together.
Honky tonk was written by Trace Adkins. The show they were on was The Sing Off. Pentatonix won season 3 and Hone Free won season 4. Voiceplay was on the same season as Home Free. The a capella community is pretty tight, which is why you can see them in each other's videos. Thank you for sharing your reaction.
New viewer here, stopped by because saw you were reacting to Home Frees Butts Medley. Just had to see what you thought !! I am a Huge Home Free fan and would love to see you react to more. thanks, enjoyed.
This was an April Fools' video from 2015 . Eric "Bueggs" is one of Rob's good friends. His short overalls is a reference to Maddie & Tae's video called "Girl in a Country Song". Check it out--makes Bueggs' antics here even funnier 🤣
This is with the wrong group but fills in alot of the technical details. Pentatonix, as the first to break through to the pop charts etc was closely filmed in interviews to see if their acapella was for real. This is the best example I can find and the educational seminars that were done. (Note - it has changed since Avi left in September of 2017 but he was already a champion acapella guy prior to the Sing Off and joining Pentatonix and kept them honest mostly.) 3 songs performed at the end. th-cam.com/video/3gnSTPT-2GQ/w-d-xo.html beatboxing seminars th-cam.com/video/xnbwR9sIOPI/w-d-xo.html spaulding session th-cam.com/video/at18d7Q0Pzw/w-d-xo.html Avi & Kevin jamming with Flo Rider etc backstage at Sing Off th-cam.com/video/f-ruLbXxu-w/w-d-xo.html christmas song with PTX, Flo Rider & Urban Method sing off th-cam.com/video/bjABO0I8unc/w-d-xo.html The bands are pretty close and all got very connected through the TV program that ran for several years the Sing Off. The current baritone in Homefree (Adam Chance) was in Streetcorner Symphony out of Nashville as their bass singer. When Avi Kaplan left Pentatonix he moved to Nashville from L.A. and had Streetcorner do a short tour with him. He now still has the high tenor from Streetcorner, Kaleb Thomas Jones, in his band playing bass guitar and singing backing harmony, along with his drum player Noah Denney, to his lead vocals. Homefree and Avi are close and they support his summer program for 12-18 year old singers from around the world that he has been running in L.A. since 2014. Pentatonix won the Sing Off in 2011 (season 3) and Homefree and Voiceplay were competitors for the 2013 season 4. Homefree won. Sort of intro 101 except for Peter Hollens who was on an earlier season still does acapella and has collaborated with Homefree, Tim Foust by himself and separately Avi Kaplan. Cultural timing was everything. Glee was a big TV series, Pitch Perfect the movies came out (Pentatonix had a cameo as the Canadian team in the 2nd movie) and the Singoff series was on television for 6 years I think. That's the highly condensed version of how acapella came to be a pretty big deal in America in the 21st century.
Chris Rupp (the beatboxer's brother and co-founder of the band) has an interview on y/b about this video. It was his pet project. Their sister was involved with a modeling agency and that's where the women in the video are from. Since they didn't want to objectify the women, the only 'butts' are theirs. Austin choreographed the line dance. The man in the cut-off overalls is a friend of Rob's and is in some other videos (they have a channel together, "The Indoor Sportsman").
You should check out Tim’s new solo single, Will You Love Me Tommorrow/Stay. Gets to really show off his 5 octave range. th-cam.com/video/8bN9bgwR0DI/w-d-xo.html
You really need to react to 'When A Man Loves A Woman'. th-cam.com/video/-pygPmfGQvU/w-d-xo.html Austin has lead and is absolutely amazing. Also you should check out Adam's drum solo. th-cam.com/video/EanKWLUaDpg/w-d-xo.html Honky Tonk bedonkadonk is Trace Atkins. th-cam.com/video/vNVguvNE7qc/w-d-xo.html
Not in this one... Chance isn't part of the group when they did this one. Chris Rupp (Adam's brother) was still part of the group and this was his project.
If your girl starts with "Not tonight honey, I have a headache." Play Home Free's "When a Man Loves a Woman" and her clothes will fly off before you hit the bedroom. LOL
Dude, Medley is right in the name. You do know what a medley is right? A collection of songs within a specific theme. Just because they are doing a part of a song by an artist that you don't like is no reason to stop the video and rant about how much you hate that artist.
This is such a fun mashup of songs. Very cleverly done from one song to another. The talent these guys have is phenomenal. They have so much fun but the vocals never suffer. And Adam's beatboxing is on another level. This was Chris Rupp's idea to do.
Geoff Castelluci from Voice Play also helped arrange Home Free's collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys "Elvira" Check it out!
I'll second that! Great arrangement by Geoff and you can tell that the love and respect between the two groups is real and heartfelt. Yet another one where it looks like they had a real blast making the video and produced a great new version of this classic.
Home Free being goofballs and entertaining folks. They are awesome. Hard to believe this is nearly 7 years old.
So, u need to go check out Chris Rupp’s Channel and watch his reaction to this song. He is the one that came up with the original idea for this and approached Lane about arranging it. Of course Adam got involved to to help with the Beatboxing going with it. During the Baby got Back section Tim was Beatboxing, that’s y he was in Rob’s face spitting on him.

Austin was bent over shaking it. All the butts featured are the guys in Home Free.
The acapella world is such a small one that, for the most part, everyone knows everyone else. And, they all work together, to some extent.

Just love these talented guys !! Try "Hillbilly Bone" for another fun one !!
VoicePlay and Home Free were in season 4 of The Sing-Off. HF won season 4 and PTX won season 3. Please notice in this video the only butt shaking you see are the guys, never any of the women. Well, the Home Free guys and Buegs, the big guy in the cut-off overalls (which he got from Tim who wore them in Champagne Taste) who's a good friend of Robs.
Trace Adkins sings it! Love the harmonies and Adam Rupp’s beatboxing, it’s awesome! Adam Rupp arranged this 🎉 Great reaction! I love Home Free😊
Great reaction thank you. What's so good about the a capella groups is they get along so well together. Tim was part of a song VoicePlay did for a money raiser and had different singers a part of it.

I’m not a Durulo fan either but I love his collab with Pentatonix If I Ever Fall In Love, would love to see your reaction to that one.

Enjoyed your reaction keep listening to home free you'll become a home fry soon😊

I do know Austin arranged the line dance, that was from an interview from Chris Rupp.
Yeah, it's total fire, comedy and music, sick!
Home Free is always a class act, even when they get silly.
Great reaction! Keep doing Home Free reactions please. 🥰
Looking for a new home is such a pain in the ass. Good luck man. In any case this medley is hilarious. The vocal layering towards the ends is nothing short of amazing.
Just saw them live last weekend. They did an phenomenal job!
Geoff Castellucci of Voiceplay helped with the arrangement for Home Free's collaboration with The Oakridge Boys on "Elvira". Yes. These guys know each other and work together.
It was fun laughing with you. Love Home Free, new sub here 👍
Honky tonk was written by Trace Adkins. The show they were on was The Sing Off. Pentatonix won season 3 and Hone Free won season 4. Voiceplay was on the same season as Home Free. The a capella community is pretty tight, which is why you can see them in each other's videos. Thank you for sharing your reaction.
All the top shelf a cappella groups are really good friends - and collaborate frequently.
Yes..Honky-tonk Badonkadonk is a song by Trace Adkins
"I can't stand Jason Derulo!"
My heart just cracked a little a hearing that❕❗
yea in this video Austin just went nuts with the crazy lol he was so great
New viewer here, stopped by because saw you were reacting to Home Frees Butts Medley. Just had to see what you thought !! I am a Huge Home Free fan and would love to see you react to more. thanks, enjoyed.
Chris Rupp produced this with Layne Stein. Chris has a reaction video out on this song and talks about how it came together.
This whole thing was a Chris Rupp project! He shares about it on his TH-cam channel. You should check that out! Nice reaction!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your reaction!!!
Our boy Austin was twerking and grinning.
Always fun Elvira another fun one HILLBILLY BONE ONE MAN BAND. have fun
If you haven't already,check out them doing All About That Bass. It's hilarious
I like to see Peeps having fun1 Peace, Love!
I'm just loving Rob doing the running man... lmao
You should check out their performances on The SingOff, preferably with the judges' comments.
I love this mashgup.. Can you react to HOME FREE - HOUSE PARTY
Chris Rupp has a “behind the scenes” video about this one…
This was an April Fools' video from 2015 .
Eric "Bueggs" is one of Rob's good friends. His short overalls is a reference to Maddie & Tae's video called "Girl in a Country Song". Check it out--makes Bueggs' antics here even funnier 🤣
This is such a fun video. CK out Hillbilly Bone
VP and HF work together all the time!
The Honky Tonk song is sung by Trace Adkins
Note that the only "butts" that were focused on was their own.

The bands are pretty close and all got very connected through the TV program that ran for several years the Sing Off.
The current baritone in Homefree (Adam Chance) was in Streetcorner Symphony out of Nashville as their bass singer.

These guys are hilarious 😂
Great reaction!
Great reaction
You should check out Tim’s new solo single, Will You Love Me Tommorrow/Stay. Gets to really show off his 5 octave range. th-cam.com/video/8bN9bgwR0DI/w-d-xo.html
What I know to be the original is by Trace Adkins (Honky Tonk Badonkadonk)
Home free cover of all about that bass.
You do a good job reacting without trying to sing over like some. You got knowledge also which makes a difference.
Here for the Home Free so not a sub yet but I'll consider it when I see a Home Free playlist *heavy hint*
Mean to tell me you haven't seen Tim Twerk. Layne from Voiceplay. He and Geoff both arrange songs.
You really need to react to 'When A Man Loves A Woman'. th-cam.com/video/-pygPmfGQvU/w-d-xo.html Austin has lead and is absolutely amazing.
Also you should check out Adam's drum solo.

Okay now you have to react to Trace Adkins honkey tonk badonkadonk
Honky tonk badonkadonk by trace Adkins
Bass was both Tim & Adam Chance
Not in this one... Chance isn't part of the group when they did this one. Chris Rupp (Adam's brother) was still part of the group and this was his project.
It’s Tim all along! When they did it live, Chris would do bass while Tim was singing lead.
the honky tonk badonkadonk song be by toby keith
❤❤
If your girl starts with "Not tonight honey, I have a headache." Play Home Free's "When a Man Loves a Woman" and her clothes will fly off before you hit the bedroom. LOL
chris rupp project
Trace Adkins
❤😂
You brought a lot of sophistication to commentary on a really locker room theme. Kinky!
😂❤😂❤😂❤
May Day by Home Free.
Trace Adkins.. Honky Tonk...
Dude, Medley is right in the name. You do know what a medley is right? A collection of songs within a specific theme. Just because they are doing a part of a song by an artist that you don't like is no reason to stop the video and rant about how much you hate that artist.
Too many interruptions…. Sorry
I really like you, but stopping on every line is too much. 😬
