Chordiac Arrest (Barbershop Quartet)

[LilKroog]

How the HELL do they do the bag thing?

[MrSloFlyer]

@LilKroog

Fooled me too.....when I was a kid.......he holds the bag and snaps his fingers, DUH!!....lol

[NBCboy1]

They look like pilots!

[jonathan1234911]

How do they do the bag thing???

[Basssenor]

love!

[tis2nwod]

Pressing 7 repeatedly whilst playing this video is kinda trippy!

[bobhnewyork]

These guys are extraordinarily talented and genuinely funny. What a pity I've discovered them so late! ?Too late ... is a version of this group still working? (Hey, I live in Australia ... give me a break!! LOL)

Lynn did pass away April 26, 2011

[Nuance5]

His name is (Elmer) Lynn Hauldren. Very clever guy - he wrote most of their material, as well as the Empire ads.

[terrystewart3]

Can someone please tell me which one was the Empire Carpet Guy ?

Did he pass away....Someone has posted he was 89. I filmed this in '92 which would have made him around 67! He does not look that age in this video!

[wmhendobill]

@terrystewart3 3RD Guy from left to right..He just passed away...rip lynn

[AMDMVernon]

@terrystewart3 He was the third from the left when this video starts....his name is Lynn and yes he was the Empire Carpet guy....he passed away just a few days ago. here is a link to the article.

[SMRudiger]

R.I.P. Empire Carpet Guy

[WC7495]

RIP Lynn Hauldron! The Empire Carpet dude passed away today at 89.

[CopsUrMasterAndLord]

Speaking of funny" an excellent and hilarious quartet check out "Fred" they used to be on a TV show hosted by Penn & Teller.

[YellowCakeKid]

what is the name of this song?

[tony67xyz]

Fuk, I'm crying - that is soooo funny!!! I used to sing barbershop and it was incredibly enjoyable. I'd love to do it again but I always had a hard time mastering the moves and remembering lyrics so to watch these guys brought back sweet memories!

[YellowCakeKid]

omg these guys are hilarious, love it. gunna keep checkin out their stuff

[hewhoisfuzzy]

These guys have two albums and a video available for sale. All of their songs are hilarious.

[GarlicTuba]

Any body know if these guys have sheet music up for sale?

[mastermusician1116]

OMG hillarious but incredibly in tune and chordulous (if thats a word) haha

[SCGod]

@mastermusician1116

It should be ^_^

[ChrisFrenchComedy]

I believe that Lynn Hauldren is 86 now. I know he still voices the Empire Today commercials, and I think he still sings with Chordiac Arrest.

[acoustifish]

Love this! Witty and the harmonies are so tight.

[deadly990]

chordiac arrest is quite possibly the funnies quartet name i have ever seen.

[WASUPGUEY]

THAT WAS FUNNY

[jetaime5406]

Typo: *Great Northern Union

[jetaime5406]

Thank you for uploading this! My finance and I saw them for the first time about two years ago during a Greath Northern Union show. These singers were awesome, and I look forward to seeing them live again! :)

[InflatablePlane]

Are they dressed as commercial airline pilots? :DDDDDDD Great stuff! I was singing along and laughing my ass off at the same time,

[SUNKIST184]

These guys are great! Wonderful comedy

[ericberner]

great gags great singing- bravo! =)

[JeremyMcCracken]

The man second from the right in the first song is the Empire Carpet man Lynn Hauldren

[blue30587]

It seems like he's been exactly that age my whole life.

[datsunl29]

[sillyshades]

[ThePitbull66]

that is such a badass name.

[lvaley]

thats so funny. the barbershop squat! lols!!!

[musicscotty1]

All those chorus guys in the audience totally get this song. This group did my show 15 years ago and we STILL remember it.

[dot33]

What a hoot!!! I loved it.

[kinversoni]

what is the bag thing?

[harwetopa]

He kept 'throwing' an invisible lump of Jell-O various ways and directions, then would 'catch' them in the bag. Brilliantly done!

[kinversoni]

i mean how did the bag snap and all?

[IvanMcNatney]

you snap your fingers in a certain way. Morecambe(?) and wise did it search for it

[TrilliousDivine]

that was great!

[chap1144]

kudos

[MrPianoman93]

I was in a Barbershop when my school did music man, and this totally blew me away, made me feel insignificant as a tenor. You Guys Rock It!

What an effortless lead. And incredibly funny, no doubt, but... he just looks like he's talking and it comes out sounding like that... crazy.

[yaesuham]

mixquartet said "The best was with Catctus Pete George Peters on Bass and their original tenor Doug W. -- sorry guys! " I totally DISAGREE.. Ive seen Cactus Pete.. Pete cant hold these guys a light to see by.  These guys have their acts down,, and their harmony is uncomparable. Ive been singing since I was 3. I should know by now.

ATTA WAY TO GO CHORDIAC ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!

[mixquartet]

The best was with Catctus Pete George Peters on Bass and their original tenor Doug W. -- sorry guys!

[Rivieratime]
