Andy and Barney Explain A Capella

[rem2267]

Barney sings a capella sort of to the tune of 'La Cucaracha,' and Andy even moreso, as he makes fun of him.

When will crazy ol' Barn get himself a clue?

Thanks for this. I play it when i'm not in a great mood, b/c it makes me laugh every time. Cheers.

What would YOU do if they asked you to sing A Capella?

WARNING: Do not watch this before your choir class! I died laughing every time our director said "a capella!" LOL :)

[wheelman2003]

@NerdWatchJinxy HAHAHA oh, gosh, now that's funny. "What not to say when in choir practice" sounds like a pretty good joke topic.

[NerdWatchJinxy]

@wheelman2003 Lol! It is! But, in the meantime, you will get stared at by those ignorant few who have never heard of Andy Griffith. Poor fools. :)

When Dennis would sing without the band playing, he'd say "everybody sing acapulco!!!!!!!"

LOL I love this episode. Barney is a hoot! Andy teasing Barney singing acapella, acapella LOL LOL Andy always knows how to get Barney's temper up! Andy and Barney, a great team. Nothing as good on TV these days. Thank goodness for DVDs of great show from the 1960s.

That is a serious rack of weapons Andy"s got there. Just in case Barney loses his bullet I suppose.

The actor that played Rafe was in another episode and his name was Luke (I think)

[wlhardy]

This episode taught me the meaning of

A Capella. I couldn't understand why my mother was laughing so hard until she explained what A Capella was. Loved this show!

[lainita123]

does anybody know what episode this is?

[grekanda29]

It's called 'Rafe Hollister Sings' - from the 3rd season. I just watched it on my DVD collection a few days ago. Great show! They don't make them this good anymore....

[68lincoln]

@grekanda29 Totally agree with you!

[mandoat43]

season 3 episode 20

[Juliahymnlover]

[jujujoint]

[jujujoint]

[Tipeetoes1]

It is a shame that you didn't include the one clp I know of with Old Rafe Logan singing.....whew that dude could pipe!!!

[jujujoint]

true, but it's rafe hollister, and can be found elsewhere on youtube

[Tipeetoes1]

I stand corrected. Right you are. Rafe Logan was an escaped convict on another episode I believe? Any way thanks I just watched old Rafe singing. Do you know his real name?

[Dreamline45056]

Tipeetoes1, Rafe Hollister was played by actor/singer Jack Prince.

[ijsmale]

so what does  a capella mean ?

[KennWV]

I think it means to sing without any music, just the singer.

[travis7310]

Correct. But I like Barney's definition better!

[ijsmale]

The word, acapella, actually means, as in the chapel, or the church and is un-accompanied by any instrument. The very early Christian churches were without instruments in worship, hence the meaning " as in the church". There are churches today that continue in this tradition !

[EltonvonCthulhu]

Barney's definition is still a lot better.

[starsstanley99]

a capella, a capella...ha ha!!
