Puppet singing First Noel by Johnny 'Bowtie' Barstow

[BrighamHB]

LOL

The description on CD Baby says "Bending pitch and time in ways rarely heard on record.... "

I couldn't have said it better myself.

This guy is a true musician, can sing this terrible on purpose.

[hihats]

this sh*t is deep

[conradopaulino]

Three minutes and ten seconds of pure and delicious torture

this video is great for teaching the difference between a major and minor chord (the singer sings the minor 3rd over a major chord in the whole song)

jazzy (and out-of-tune) greetings from Brazil!

[Insideoutswimmer]

This is painful to listen to...the puppet is funny though

[ObjectManipulator55]

HELL YEEEASSSSSSS!

[mattkaslow]

I actually think he's doing this on purpose, which is even more amazing, in a way.

[uhmene]

I didn't think it was possible to improve on Bowtie. Thank you.

[brassbend]

Oh good GOD!

[chelsea667]

The holidays are NOTHING without Johnny Bowtie's Christmas music!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this.

[mattkaslow]

Where is he now?

[nancywarren]

I think this is my favorite so far....

[gguider]

:-) Thanks!!

I have a few but this one is definately in there!

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

It ruins the comedy when people don't know that the POINT is that he is a poor singer.

He can't carry a tune in a bucket, but we don't mention that.

We just say that he is enlightened enough to unshackle himself from the limited confines of orthodoxy.

[gguider]

I just think he's fantastic!!!

and i'm well chuffed i found his CD :-)

Thanks

[gguider]

My thought exactly!

[Amathaine]

Thank you for doing this! Johnny Bowtie is my husband - we just found this and he is SO pleased with himself LOL. I've sent the link around to all our friends, I still can't get over how popular that CD has gotten

[fifrenzyguy34]

The verses sound like they were written in a mode of some sort. lol! Funny!

[ScanlonJazz]

He knows just the right amount of consonance to use. Cacophony is very underrated.

[shankpeterman]

I'M SHANKPETERMAN.... yeah! (Agreed).

[birdmanthegreatretur]

i am deeply sorry but i have to say that this dude cant sing at all. it sounds like sh.....

everything is cool except rhythm and intonation

[gguider]

LOL Isn't that called making the song your own???

Thanks :-)

[kooooolmatt]

@birdmanthegreatretur No its alll bad. No right notes, cant keep rythem, and sounds just aweful in all aspects

[noahthemok12]

you might want to mention that this is the worst singer in the world

[gguider]

Oh i dont know.. how about unbound by the confines of musical tradition... but then i've heard the rest... and no one else has on here... yet!! LOL

[ArickDesigns]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO THE OTHER SONGS!! PUHLEEEEZ!!

this is the greatest video on youtube! i almost passed out from laughing!!!

[gguider]

LOL Thanks very much :-)

..now funny you say that.....

[vaudevillepictures]

Noel? Better make it NO WAY. Heh heh heh, but such confidence.

Is that little breath in the end bit off the recording? Nice catch.

Happy Christmas gguider, to you and your entire cast!

[gguider]

hahaha Thanks!!! Merry Christmas to you!!

yes it belongs on the end... I think he deserved it! LOL :-)

[vaudevillepictures]

Is this broken?

[gguider]

LOL If the song is playing as a slightly out of tune slightly out of time song then the answer is..... no it's 'sposed to be like that... what you'd like more like this too?? OK..

[gguider]

Ah but the exercise your face gets from the joining in.. is that the 'feel the burn' bit your suffering from??

Max asked if there was more.. (hehe!!??) - knows me so well...

[Maxamillion777]

LOL !! Thanks for the holiday cheers! But really .. my ears will NEVER be the same again! Merry Christmas to you my friend! 5*

[gguider]

hahaha :-)

...Did i hear you ask if there was more??

Thanks :-) LOL

[ComedyPaulineComedy]

[gguider]

Yes it has that effect on me too :-)

Thanks!

[loveyoutodeathbut]

What a rare find! *wince* It was so adorable =) But that singing! My face will be scrunched up for hours!

[gguider]

Thanks!!
