- Pop Songs Medley (2015) performed by Main Street arranged by Clay Hine: • Main Street - Pop Song...
Note about the key: The drift upward in pitch but I wrote it in what I'm pretty sure is the original key it's supposed to be in. Hope that clears up any confusion!
Edit: 2nd measure should be a G# in the lead.

I LOVE that the modern song that they open with is heading on for a quarter of a century old already.
and they second-to-end with one from about 40 years ago.
which one was that@@tactileslut
One needs to wait until the music is there to buy, not always fast, and then someone has to arrange it into barbershop!
Thriller was released 41 years ago, 32 years before All About That Bass.
Wait is that a coyote profile picture?
We are siblings in spirit.
Barbershop has to be the most underrated music genre of all time, i genuinly dont see how you can NOT like it
Yeah...everything today is somehow "underrated"...soon, I'll be hearing that the Grand Canyon is underrated as a hole in the ground...
@@buckhorncortez using the term "underrated" is in fact, underrated
It’s not under-rated. It’s not rated at all.
Because most of today's singers only know "harmoniser" pedals and auto tune
When I introduce my friends to barbershop, they always really enjoy it right until Vocal Spectrum holds the last chord for 20 seconds
"All about that bass" actually sounded right as a barbershop quartet.
Myron? Is that you?😂
I know a guy who has sung competitive barbershop. He's an amazing Tenor. Singing this level of barbershop is NOT easy. A lot of technique, skill, practice and talent on loan from God. It's a wonderful a fun musical art form.
My dad had several quartets in the 50's and 60's and singing lead, went to international competition with two of them; The Statesmen placed 5th two years in a row, and The Wizards placed 9th. I loved being a barbershop family, we got to go and do so many things growing up.
It is fun. Harmony is a true gift from heaven
God!!! 😂😂😂
My elementary music teacher was, and as far as I know, still is in a barbershop shop quartet, and he got top ten in a worldwide contest once, he was my favorite teacher
@@Michael-ho7iq 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I've sung everything from hymns and classical to madrigal and modern music, and I can tell you categorically that this style is immensely technically difficult.
It requires very strong vocal physiology, prefect pitch, a precise "ear" able to overcome acoustically variant venues...
That these guys are able to make it look easy is testament to an extremely highly honed of skill and talent.
SERIOUS PROPS.
(And they didn't even win this year)
@@alistairwall5470they won in 2017 and once you win, your quartet can't compete anymore (though individual members can compete in other quartets).
They’re wonderful
@@bragtime1052Yes, I am aware. I meant they didn’t win in the year of the video, which was 2015.
It doesn't require Perfect Pitch, but you need to listen like mad (the precise ear). My dad was heavily into competitive barbershop when I was a kid, so I've heard a LOT of it.
This was ear candy and comedy genius at the same time. I have to say thank you for random TH-cam scrolling because this popped up and absolutely made my afternoon! I can't wait to hear more. ❤
The voice control along with the emotive performance is top, doing facial comedy and to sing at this level chefs kiss.
I was random scrolling as well and HAD to check it out.Worth it!

People don't understand how hard some of these harmonies are... Fantastic work, performers
These groups' harmony is always spectacular, and I love the fact that they can make fun of themselves.
I like how, even at the time, most of these weren't really modern songs.
They keep saying "20 years from now" and there's a 32 year gap between the oldest and newest song they include lol
Tbf it kinda makes sense: in 15 years, people that's teen when the songs came out, will be parents of teenagers themselves (+ Thriller, but that song is ageless and there'll always be MJ fans whatever the age)
Seems like this was made about three or four years ago. The point is good. In the seventies, Happy Days was hot. In the 90s, the hit was That Seventies Show. That pattern recurs
Probably because this is from 2015
Believe that's by competition requirement
Their annunciation is incredible and their harmony is unreal ! Respect!
Enunciation
@@kathrynmolesa1641 Well, my dictionary includes this "formal or archaic" definition: "the announcement of something", so technically it also applies.
@@miriamrobarts 😅
@@kathrynmolesa1641 Always enunciate any annunciations. 🙃😄
Youre deaf 😂
I love all these transcriptions they make for incredible teaching aids
Also ironic that barbershop was once considered ultra modern pop music. Or the equivalent. It was the stuff that made the old time music seem stuffy and outdated. It was what people were singing. At least some of it.
These guys just killed it. In every way. Lovely and so, so funny.
In every way ... including "overkill."
The truly amazing thing to me is that Barbershop is the only style of a cappella music that is not pitch corrected. Even my favorites (Pentatonix and Home Free) have their releases pitch-corrected to death.
Tell me that your experience with the canon of a cappella music is extremely limited without telling me it's extremely limited.
There should be a 'Love' button. Outstanding vocals. These guys are awesome !
Well said!
My father loved and sang barbershop with his father and brothers. He would play his Buffalo Bills records, and we would sing along at home, which is how I learned to sing. Sadly he is gone now, but I found his old competition badge in his dresser drawer, and I kept it. Your performance was outstanding and brought a happy tear to my eye. Thank you!
The Buffalo Bills were wonderful in The Music Man.
We sang barbershop in high school choir. As separate groups AND as a choir. Such fun. Close harmonies, done correctly still gives me chils
These gents are perfection! I used to sing with Sweet Adelines. I was quite young (late teens) and musically nerdy, but was welcomed whole-heartedly. Difficult stuff, and also beyond fun. When you hear the overtones ringing, you know you've nailed it!
Classic, goofy barbershop routine; great singing with a killer tag at the end 👏👏👏👏
Q: What's it like to be wife or partner of a barber shop quartet singer? There has to be a book here ... Edit: I can't imagine marrying a guy like this without having a DEEP sense of humor.
@josepherdhart164....after we divorced my ex-husband changed jobs, move to the big city and joined a barbershop group. I always thought his timing was perfect.
@@shmataboro8634 Did you ever see him perform?
My son sings barbershop and his wife loves it. It's like a big family.
My ex-wife sang barbershop, and then started using fake "competition weekends" to have an affair.
@@MaydayAggro Faking a competition is quite a trick. Or did she say she was going to the competition and then just went elsewhere? And you don't go to a competition by yourself--you need the other three people. Anyway, it sounds like a bit of a shaky excuse or ploy.
my family knows some of these guys! we made friends with some of the dapper dans at disney world years ago, and “main street” is one of the group names they use when performing outside of disney! they’re all such fantastic guys
When was this video recorded?
@@robertmac7833 2015!
I was in high school choir with the bass. His dad was our choir teacher.
@@robertmac7833This is from about 8 years ago.
The Dapper Dans (all of them) have been incredible. I think I met the baritone when I was there a while back (or there was a guy that looked like him).
Barbershop's the bomb.
The final chord had a SCREAMING D# overtone (major third over the tenor)! Wow!
That's B for Barbershop.
I've known how to read music for many years, but I'm not familiar with barbershop lingo (in spite of the fact that I, a woman, once filled in singing in a men's quartet!). When you talk about overtones, are you talking about the high note you can "hear" even though no one is singing it?
@@sherisouth5963 Exactly.
Oh god. I just realized that we might get kpop songs in the future. It will definitely be interesting to see in 20 years.
Would be interesting for a non-Korean speaking group to do (in a phonetic approach) 🤔
Well it looks like I found the Rabbit Hole of youtube again
And not one, not two but four songs were also part of Weird Al’s polka medleys! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my word. I'm giving these guys a standing ovation here in my kitchen. Talented in voice, creativity, humor. 💕💕 Wow.
I really enjoyed being able to read along with the sheet music for this. That was cool. Very good video. :)
It sounds 1950s
That was most certainly the bomb yo
Two words: Postmodern jukebox
They should throw in a “Stop. Hammertime” at the end.
That was awesome! I worked at Walt Disney World for 3 years and because I worked on Main Street, I was blessed to be sung to many times by the Barber Shop Quartet. It was definitely one of the perks of working there.
It just popped up on my TH-cam channel and I am so glad that it did! I sang barbershop harmony for 15 years and truly enjoyed it. Thanks for putting this on.!
"Wow" doesn't even begin to explain how excellent that was put together. My most sincere thank-you for singing, editing, and posting this video, and sharing it with everyone who has the pleasure of seeing and or hearing it.
Barbershop is the frosted 4- tier - and -a- topper -wedding -cake -of vocal music.
Barber shizzle. 😂
The sheet music/lyrics increased my enjoyment!
thank you for this gem, haven't seen the original video in a long time and greatly appreciate the transcription to the masterpiece
Loved the barbershop quartet in the Music Man.
Hey, ya gotta know the territory!
The Buffalo Bills
As one who used to sing barbershop (lead and baritone) I love the genre. You did such a great job with these arrangements, and your singing was perfect. Loved this video, and now following.
I've always loved Barbershop Quartet style. The harmonizing is absolutely incredible.
Truly talented singers and it was awesome how they incorporated new pop songs in this set. Very entertaining!!
That was so clever and fun to watch! Awesome!
This was so much fun to watch. Great job, guys. Perfect humor and notes!
That was absolutely fantastic. Thank y'all so very much! ♥️♥️♥️👍👍😁😁😁
I'm glad you're transcribing all the "classics" of barbershop TH-cam! (There's a small irony in referring to these vids as classics in the context of this specific performance lol)
Two very amused thumbs up👍👍for this inventive and humorous take on today’s hits by these barbershop harmonizers!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟Keep on singing,fellas!!! Very,very well done!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟Superb beyond belief!!!
Thank you for your hard work
No problem!
Bravo bravo bravo! Wonderful! What a performance! So creative. They took everything from modernity but made it at skillfully barbershop. Again bravo! One of the most enjoyable performances I've seen in quite a while.
I laughed so hard at the into to uptown funk 😂😂😂
This is fabulous 🤩😍
These guys are always incredible. My chorus teacher made sure all of us boys were able to compete for spots in any Barbershop Festival in the state, or close. I couldn't be more thankful for that. Mrs.Sanborn for the win!
Hey, someone else also commented about Mr. Sanborn @lindacaldwell6251
Nothing like four guys perfectly harmonizing and funny, too. 😅😅
That last note is fantastic!
I love this so much. My dad sang in a chorus when I was young, and I grew up with barbershop music. I remember going to his practices when I was around 4 years old. His barber was actually in the chorus, and he went to him up until the barber couldn’t cut hair anymore. I even had the barber’s quartet sing at my wedding. My dad passed away 3.5 years ago, and barbershop will always have a special place in my heart.
Have been a barbershop fan all my life. Sang in one group for a short time, but have been in choirs most of my life. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!
Love it - including the printed music is a nice touch - thanks!
That was perfection!! Astounding! Well done!
I'm totally loving that you post the arrangement, so that musicians like me can follow it. Incredible talent...
Great Work!! Jason !!!
😎😎😎
Brilliant performance and arrangement!!
Ok… you win! You are now one of my eight subscriptions (only an old guy can truly appreciate what you do). Thanks!
THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Love a good barbershop any day , any year - forever !! Timeless !!
That was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks fellas!
Thanks for taking me back to my youth! LOVE this!
Pretty amazing. My dad sang barbershop music for many years. My sister and I considered ourselves “barbershop brats” since we LIVED in it so much! Lol
Amazing!! I love barbershop! I worked at a pizza parlor had tocal barbershoppers come in every Tuesdsy night after practice and they would sing while they had a few beers. It was great! These guys are amazing!!
Our chorus teacher was Mr. Sanborn in Michigan and was my favorite class! Loved it dearly. These guys are great!
Absolutely fantastic!
Just happened upon this, and it made me long for the days when I and my Grandpa sang with barbershop chorus out of Cincinnati. Absolutely brilliant. Love and respect.
Listening with my jaw dropped on the account of how professional they are! ❤❤❤
Not even 10 years and people are looking back at these songs in nostalgia
I've seen these guys live and it's a fantastic show. 👏🏾
😂 loved this. This video came up recently as I was looking up classic oldies songs. Was about to look up barbershop because the record store had lots of barbershop records, glad to see it's still alive 😊 can't believe songs from my teens and college days are now oldies 😅
Barbershop has always been beyond impressive to me and these four incredibly gifted and hilarious gentlemen were such a delight! I would listen to pop if they were the ones singing the songs. Absolute perfection. 👏👏👏👏
Extremely talented! Enjoyed! Bravo!
You guys are amazing
They picked fantastic songs!!😄 All my faves!
Love this ❤😂 Thanks for sharing 🎉
A brilliant and fun arrangement!!
I never get tired of this performance!
Bravo! 🤗
This gives me so much hope in humanity.
That was fantastic, so much fun and sung really really well.
This is fantastic❤
Great job guys. I love barbershop harmonies...especially when they get creative.
WOW!!! THEY ARE. AWESOME!!! 🥳😃😍😘 So talented to sing like that! And that last chord--even through the lousy speakers of my earbuds--I could feel the meshing of their harmony! Beautiful!!! BRAVO, DUDES!!!!!👏👏
That was a lot of fun! Thanks guys!
What fun to listen to! Thank you ❤😂
this is the first barbershop video I ever watched, so nice to see it again!
This will be the good old 1ˢᵗ Barbershop video you ever saw, 20 years from now.
awesome video - Made me smile all the way through
very good sounds great, who would have thought. thanks for posting
This is amazing stuff.
This is insane! 🔥
When you realize that most of those songs ARE already 20 years old 😑
It's so nice to watch another performance by this group. They are (were?) truly among the very best and SOOOO FUNNY as well. Extremely difficult close harmony requiring great ears, voices and concentration and many, many hours of work.
Yeah I don’t think they’ve done loads since winning in 2017, although Tony has a new quartet with his son called 3 1/2 Men who are very good
Thank you so much for including the score. Those are just super arrangements. Terrific singing and the tenor could have been on the Opera stage.
That was fantastic! 👏👏👏👏
this was a delight!
Simply amazing I loved them.
That was SO good!!
I appreciate the entertainment value of this clip.
Still better then the Original. First time i can listen to the Songs without Headaches
