I like it. Just be glad when you have critics, that means#1, you did something, #2 you were good enough for some glass half empty type to criticize you. Someone has to do Simon's job. Some people try and do well, some people are not going to try and do not want anyone else to try either.
hook is a very difficult song for "a capella" performance but guys You did a great job. main singer is simply perfect even with respect to his age. He should join the other cover groups trying to perform hook cover,which normally have great skills in playing instruments but no voice at all.
daredevil is right, blues traveler played a great hoax on us all, it is exactly the canon...well, there the ones with millions though...man, that gives me a plan....
lots of songs are cannon, like uh, whats the name of that bitch with the day-glo orange hair? vitamin c i think? she had a hit in the 90s that was more obvious than this one
Wow this was soooo enjoyable! Thank you so much for posting this Video and thank you too to the boys for shing such a lovely version of a very dear song to myself. You do The Blues Traveler proud! May love be with you always...
I was just stating in this day and age where there are many segregations and where racial aggrevation is at a comeback that it was a good thing to see (men as it just happened to be) harmonizing together and cooperating as a group. Sorry if you took it as a "bad thing" or something.
"i don't want to be in this a cappella group with you because you're white, sorry"
i haven't noticed any racial aggrAvation, and i certainly don't see anything unusual about a racially mixed group of people making music. that was a strange comment to make.
you are obviously immature and clueless to what people are saying to make a comment like that...i think you've got a lot of inner problems that maybe with Gods help you can work out.
how is what i said immature? i've read everything that has been written in reply to your first comment, so i'm clearly not clueless to what people are saying.
i was just saying that your original comment didn't make much sense because people of different races can and do very often make music together. for you to comment on the "racial harmony" is like saying that people of different races don't get along normally. and that's definitely not the case.
You are putting words in my mouth with the only understanding you know how to deal with. When one sees a pretty flower you might say how beautiful that is with the red and yellow. I mearly said that in this day and age where there is becoming once again more segregation it is nice to see people with all their differences create something beautiful. I have a right to my opionion and it wasn't stating anything bad so lets just drop it ok?

Still shitty. At least dress uniform people, you are suppose to at least look like you showed up together (if not also sound like you showed up together). Why is the tall and skinny blond headed kid bobbing like he gets paid extra to do it? Also, if you are gonna be the big guy in the group, you shouldn't wear white on white AND move the most back and forth. The lead singer is also terrible.
Criticizing, Get used to it. Whether his tone is bad or not, he still has a point.They should have been better dressed, at least matching somewhat. The lead singer isn't very good.

They Suck Big Time... i do give them credit for doing it but some songs shouldn't be sung a cappella. i'm sure they do much better jobs on different songs but this song i think sucked this way...
Interesting to hear an a capella version of this song. My Dad would play this song all the time when I was a kid. I enJoyed listening to it a lot. Thanks for posting.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
People. A capella groups are not cool. They are fun to participate in and can be entertaining to watch, but they are absolutely nerdy. They often do terrible renditions of classic songs and yet have no shame. That is reprehensible. You are welcome to like them, but for Christ's sake don't wail and yell out like Keith Richards is on stage.
Do you read? That was a performance shown for the school, they didn't know they were being filmed. You are just one hell of a fucking moron. You probably are ripping on them because you can't sing, let alone be a part of a group that good. Stop being a retard and just listen to it, It is good as hell. If i was there i would be yelling out too. Having a good time like they are. Opinions are opinions, everyone has them. But do some research before you give your opinion.
I contacted a few people about this. They all said this was unforgivable. I mean, it sounds like a queer circle jerk of the song. What you people will never understand is that some songs shouldn't be covered by human voices alone. I am sorry that you are all that obtuse. Furthermore, its a Capella groups gather every undesirable virgin in a 50 radius to cheer them on. Just cause you sing without instruments doesn't mean you need to be cheered on by stupid women. Just a thought.

Okay, I listened to it again...
Still not good.
I wasn't saying it had to be perfect, I was saying "If I was them, I wouldn't have posted this."
I realize this site is designed to give you the freedom to post whatever you want. That doesn't mean you should.
On the bright side, it's really just the lead singer and the guy doing the low harmony on the fast part. The rest is C+/B-. Guy shooting the video shouldn't have talked in the middle of it either, but meh.
You aren't them. You probably cant sing for shit. It was posted for people to enjoy, not criticize the shit out of. Just shut up, keep your stupid opinions to yourself. Take your C+/B- shit and stick it up your ass. It is good if you just listen to it with the mindset that they are having fun.
It was a talent show you morons who are ripping on it. Anyone who rips on this is just mad because if they got on stage and tried this they would fail miserably.
This kicks ass. Amazing Bookmarked. Hope you guys won something for this haha. Amazing. By Far!!.
shut up thatguy47, this is so worthy of posting, there are plenty of worthless pointless videos on youtube (mine probably included lol) but this isnt one of them, i thought it was really good. some ppl are expecting it to be perfect but nuts to them, some ppl are just fussy lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To clarify: This isn't that good, definitely not worthy of posting. Lead singer cracks, and the secondary harmony is flat half the time. Not even worth debating over what key it's in, it's in the key of "wtf". Sorry guys, try harder next time.
I don't think they're trying to win you over. Or trying to be world class singers or anything. They're playing for their school and people who like the acappella style. Not to make you think they can sing like someone on American Idol.
ha I love how every time there is a song from pachelbel's rant everyone makes it seem like the song is exactly canon in d...get over it, the song is in fact different. ha yes the dude at penn state did a very good job fitting it with canon in d but come on now. haha but yeah this video was cool fo sho.
listen to it you stupid shit. maybe its in a different key, but the only difference is the F#m is F#7 in hook. otherwise EXACTLY the same. play them both on the piano and tell me they're different
See the thing about Carleton is that half of the audience is probably intoxicated. That and we sure do love our a capella, last count i think we have six groups.
Good performance....please, someone please start teaching kids you don't yell out in the middle of a capella performances. STFU BITCHES. To the performers, good going.
it is a bit interesting that it's canon in d. but there's about 500 songs with that chord progression lol. let it be is one of em, i wanna push you around, no woman no cry, lots and lots
