@DJ 1) Peter Barber is the damn near perfect Gaston because he's a Bass Opera Singer (it's his day job). And you can hear it in this song. He purposely went Operatic for this song because Gaston is, very much, an Operatic Villain. That why, if you listen to all of Peter's sustains in this song, they all have a noticeable vibrato. That vibrato exists because he was employing Operatic Singing Techniques to "Go Opera" with his delivery. 2) Tomi P is from the Czech Republic so that is probably why his pronunciation of Gaston is pretty on point. 3) Fun Fact: When the girls come in for the high note? Yeah, they sang the note. However, the Lead Vocal for that note? It's not them. The Lead Vocal for that high note is actually Tomi singing just shy of his Whistle Register. I also believe Casper Fox lent his vocals as well. Casper is The Bass Gang's Manager and Tomi's best friend. He lives in the Czech Republic like Tomi which is why he's in all of these Disney Videos as they shot all of them in the Czech Republic (that's where they met up). Since they didn't have Marwan (he was stuck in Egypt), Casper filled in as needed for extra roles and screen composition. And since they were doing all the recordings in the Czech Republic while they were all together, they used Casper across all four Disney Songs for harmonies and high notes (his upper range is RIDICULOUS). So yeah, when you hear the super ridiculous high notes in these four songs, unless it's obvious (like Marwan's ridiculous belt in Arabian Nights), those notes are either sung by Tomi or Casper or both. Because why strain one of the Bass Gang to belt in Whisper when you have a High Tenor (borderline Soprano) ready, available, and willing?
If you watch Peter’s reaction to this, it will answer so many of your questions. Since this was his arrangement he goes major in depth about the song and the video shoot.
@Alyssadaniels7841, has the right of it. Peter's reaction to this is well worth the time spent watching the video, and for what it's worth, so is Peter's reaction to the Friend Like Me shoot.
Tomi is from the Czech Republic. This is such a delightful cover by The Bass Gang. Peter is absolutely perfect as Gaston. You may want to watch Peter's reaction to this. He gives a great deal of background information that makes the clip that much better.
Tomi P is a young 6’6” Czech deep bass with a 5+ octave range. His solo cover of “Hellfire” shows that. His cover of “My Mother Told Me” is beyond incredible. His falsetto is incredibly high tenor
Most of the extras are Czech LARPers, since they already had outfits to wear. They ordered "The King's Feast" so all that food and drink are real, and the cast and crew feasted after they were finished. I was so happy to see Andúril, glad someone noticed it as being from LOTR, the same as Peter's tattoo. I have repros of Andúril, Sting, and Glamdring hanging up on my wall. I saw in the premiere people trying to rank the videos. That's so hard, but I'd say that of the Bass Gang songs from this album, Arabian Nights was the most beautifully filmed (how can you go wrong with literally being in the Sahara Desert for that one), this was the most fun with all the comedy and extras, Be Prepared gave me the BASS SHIVERS that I crave, and Friend Like Me was my favorite overall arrangement. Although really, picking a favorite overall just isn't possible.
You do know that it's Marwan that's inside the Lamp that's in every video. Peter is showing off his Opera chops. That low note in the background sounds like Marwan. As far as I know, it's only four songs.
This one is fun. Peter's reaction video has a lot of info about how things came together. Can't wait to see your reaction to Friend Like Me which is my personal favorite.
Please do see Peter's reaction to this song. He talks about all the background people (they didn't speak much English)!. By the way, you're going to love "Friend Like Me".
Thank you, This is my favorite track hilarious! 😂 I agree, They should do I’ll make a Man out of you, Mulan is a favorite film! Some of the background high notes were sung by Casper and Bobby’s girlfriend.
I'm a Homre Fry through & through, but THIS is the video of the Year. DJ by the way Home Free has been releasing a song a week...you must see them soon....Pretty Woman, Life is a Highway "You Will Crack Up on this one", Stand by Me, and just today, they released "Cruise"....it's amazing
Loved your reaction almost as much as I love their version of this song! Looking forward to more The Bass Gang reactions in the future, either of new releases or their previous songs.
First off that was not the Cave Of Wonders from Aladin. Be Prepared is from The Lion King. This was my second favorite song from this EP they released. While I don't care for the character of Gaston in the movie this was a perfect song for them to do. It fits them perfectly and Peter was the only choice to be Gaston. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to Friend Like Me that was a fun song.
The best Disney song sung by a sidekick, is almost certainly either Friend Like Me, or Under the Sea. Unless you count live action movies, in which case the chimney sweep song might also be a contender.
I just noticed that at the end of Tomi's part, they change the words from 'my what a guy, that Gaston' to 'I want a guy like Gaston'. I mean it's Peter so, fair, but it's an interesting change.
I love this song, it is brilliant and made me laugh and it is so well performed too! The Bass Gang are just continuing to go from strength to strength with these songs and I am swiftly becoming a fan. Thank you for a brilliant reaction that was a lot of fun too. I had many of the same thoughts you did (especially the Peter bits... *fans self* ) so thank you for making sure I wasn't the only thirsty bitch watching this video! #DJAntlers

Peter's experience in opera really helps him shine with the spoken lines.

There were actually some of the women singing too.
Most of the extras are Czech LARPers, since they already had outfits to wear.

Yes, Bass Gang, please!! "Make a Man Out of You"! That was made for The Bass Gang!
I'm sure it would be awesome but I can't get over Dan Vasc's cover. 😍😍😍
Peter's reaction goes into the making of the video, who all the background people were, etc. Definitely check it out when you get the chance!
This one is so much fun, even more than normal, and it just makes me smile all the way through. Glorious!

Cosigning the I'll Make a Man Outta You concept 🕯🕯🕯🕯
Thank you, This is my favorite track hilarious! 😂 I agree, They should do I’ll make a Man out of you, Mulan is a favorite film! Some of the background high notes were sung by Casper and Bobby’s girlfriend.
This is my favorite out of the new batch of bass gang songs 😂 peter is perfect for Gaston!😂😂💜🦌
Thanks 😊
Peter says the sword is the same one that he has tattooed on his arm.
Tomi P is also carrying a sword next to Peter at the end.. Ciri´s blade Zireael from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
I'm a Homre Fry through & through, but THIS is the video of the Year. DJ by the way Home Free has been releasing a song a week...you must see them soon....Pretty Woman, Life is a Highway "You Will Crack Up on this one", Stand by Me, and just today, they released "Cruise"....it's amazing
I second this request.
this was such a blast I loved it ❤ 🏴

Great Reaction DJ and I can’t wait for your reaction to Friend Like Me Too 🧞♂️🥰🥰

This is a great Bass Gang album!!
I just noticed that at the end of Tomi's part, they change the words from 'my what a guy, that Gaston' to 'I want a guy like Gaston'. I mean it's Peter so, fair, but it's an interesting change.
The spelling joke is actually present in original Broadway (not in the Disney animation) and done differently in the live action.
I'll make a man out off you is one of my favorits. Plz react to Dan Vasc's cover to that Song. Sure you will love it.
YES
They were Tomi's friends. Bobby and Peter traveled to the Czech Republic
I love this song, it is brilliant and made me laugh and it is so well performed too! The Bass Gang are just continuing to go from strength to strength with these songs and I am swiftly becoming a fan.

Haha glad I wasn't alone in the thirst 🤣🤣
Loved this SO much!! Great reaction DJ❤
Have you seen Dan Vasc do his version of I'll Make a Man Out of You? He's amazing!
