[AceLink23]

As my music teacher said, "If you're a girl and can hit that note, that's pretty impressive. If you're a guy and you can hit that note, that's just 'Whoa'. "

[longtallemm]

:O Tim Minchin song!!!!! :D unbelievable how many there are, I can think of at least another 3... How can people get away with that???

[AlexTh3Grate]

@Kevman3322 Kids - MGMT

[missnerdychild]

0:59 wow wow wow.

[GhostalityRecords]

When I saw your show, I thought 'Now I've gotta try the 4 chord thing. Did ya know, it helped me produce another Pop Song? I call mine Put Out The Fire. Ha - Had so much fun doing it. And thank you for the idea! Wow! You are right. Those chords are 'MINT'.

[xJan008x]

what jerk is that thing in the bird-plane outfit ? :D

[DieEinfachen]

How can they remember the order of the Songs when they sing it live o.O

[AceLink23]

@DieEinfachen its not necessarily the same for each performance, and they update the song list annually. they keep the tempo transition songs and the last song list in a similar or the same order though.

[NiciOfficial]

1:44 return of the legend! xD

[27FriendsFan]

0:29 Maarten van Rossem?

[losconocimientos]

@27FriendsFan nee, hij is daar iets te vrolijk voor xd

[27FriendsFan]

@losconocimientos helemaal waar...xd

[WhoYouveKnown]

is here anybody able to let me know the whole namelist of that songs?

[xxjahoxx]

wow, best version of this song

[Onlinenine9]

I love how the final song's lyrics work perfectly to sum up the entire medley.

[JohnLennoninmyGuitar]

you could use C G Am and F

[jamesthatcher79]

wow... I didn't think Benny would make it on Ah-ha because he sounded horse earlier... well done!

[OneEndedStick]

The chords are E B C#m A

It is also a One, Five, minor Six, Four progression if you're a musician...

[tipomartins]

@OneEndedStick I use D A Bm G, it's easier

[Riekehofl]

2 people didn't like the fact that the the guy on the end made love to their babies

[bpsportster4]

[RMan221]

[Bigsam1514]

[TheTotoro619]

@Bigsam1514 I'm not sure, but i think its The Black Eyed Peas - Where is the love

[WytLite666]

0:29 LMFAO

[FinalyLostit]

CHILZ so many great songs

[EnglishGavz]

Another reason I like this, they take the few most memorable lines from great songs and stick them all together.

[ginkotea]

the audience sucks ^^ they don't seem to get it...

they are not supposed to enjoy the mix-tape, it's supposed to be funny... :/

idiots... kinda ruined it...

[BrianFredericksen]

@ginkotea They should have done both and they did neither :/

[isabelavfb]

são ótimos! adorei, é de talentos assim que o mundo precisa ;)

[CybeastFalzar99012]

What guitar is that?

[TheDrugtopia]

they made new 4 chord songs ive seen only sum of them in the other 1s b4

[ninjapika]

@TheDrugtopia i like 2 use only numbers when i talk 2 people.

[nix207]

i think the progression they used is I-V-vi-IV (some of the songs use vi-IV-I-V though)

but the key, i dunno. E, i think. it sounded alright when i played my own keyboard while listening to this. so... E-B-C#m-A? someone confirm this for me..

[monster98012]

@nix207

its those chords in any of the 12 keys at different tempos and in different orders

[xXxChrisxXx61676xXx]

@nix207 Ya, it's E-B-C#m-A ^^

[monster98012]

everyday a new songs comes out, they just add it to this list..

[nrwalker8]

who ever voted down is stupid

[ninjoe95]

one person slipped when trying to press like

[mathkid321]

if anyone is concerned, the chords are G, D, e-, C

[ninjapika]

@mathkid321 this needs to be the top comment!

[srh609]

1 person doesn't listen to music...

[patroricklenizle]

What's the third song? It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember.

[coflunderscoreropter]

@patroricklenizle Including Journey, "Where is the love- black eyed peas". The one after is Forever young

[bloodypedant]

does anyone know why they used a wierd voice when they were singing Tim's Canvas bags?

[iamcamanchy]

why doesnt this video have 3 billion views

[SilverAnicore]

I love that they mix the songs up a bit every once in a while - you never get the same performance twice. ^^ Among the once that are on Youtube, I like this one most, simply because it's the longest.

[fauxpasiii]

Fuck off, chicken little!

[jaketottenham]

The guy singing at 0:29 is a legend

[avnertishby]

YOU GUYS RULE!!

[Dowdy2007Burnley]

They really are awesome !!!

[srh609]

I probably should know this but does anyone know why they say "...and the cast of Glee" for Don't Stop Believing? They did not do this in previous versions of the routine that are on Youtube.

[Paool3107]

@srh609 Probably just to change up things a little bit. Doing the exact same routine for each performance can make things stale, or seem too scripted.

[mattyoung90]

@srh609 probably because Glee covered it last year and the other versions were from before

[n64dude94]

@srh609 because on earlier versions glee wasnt popular so people would have no idea wtf they were on about

[Gavanization]

i know the chords are Emaj, Bmaj, c#min, and A maj. but does anyone know the chords on guitar?

P.S. put annotations on it :D

[wss156]

@Gavanization these are the same chords.. E, B, C#m and A, otherwise it would sound bad...

[LxmNxm]

Cool... Ali G , Jack Black and Chicken Little

[MrRedemption1]

1 idiot saw this!

[themajs]

DUDE THAT WAS AWSOME

[Denizenable]

BTW: WHAT are those 4 chords?

[MrRedemption1]

@Denizenable the 4 chords are C,F,G and Am.

the 1st ,4st 5st and 6st chord of C-Dur.

[wss156]

@Denizenable

The four chords are and always were [in AOA song]:

E B C#m A

Which are I V VI IV, a very popular harmonic progression in the pop music, as you see,

It sometimes come in other variations like I VI IV V

hope i helped you ;)

[srh609]

@wss156 it's actuall I V vi IV - six is minor. just a small technicality, but I just thought it should be pointed out.

[wss156]

@srh609 yeah i dont know is that matter cuz if six was major it wouldn't be diatonic... so it's automatically minor..

[1860506910]

[neomp5]

this is comic genius. some jokes get old, others need constant work to keep current. this one updates itself.

[8uiop1]

[ussyorktown1]

Who disliked this... they should die

[JJean1]

@ussyorktown1 I would surmise it was someone who just wrote a four-chord song.

[sirsymbro]

@ussyorktown1 LOL... after reading this comment... and seeing the single dislike... i was half tempted to click dislike too... instead i just posted it on my FaceBook... har har

[ninjapika]

@sirsymbro i did the same thing, then i disliked it also xD

[ninjapika]

@ussyorktown1 im disliking this, just because ican :)

[Mewtario]

@ninjapika Now I know she's playin' with me!

[ninjapika]

@Mewtario HE*

[Mewtario]

@ninjapika It's a reference to one of the songs....

[belladonna137]

WOO *Claps*!!!

[tomwardle4forest]

Does he play the same piano chords the whole way through? It seems like they change speed

[sirblakenz]

@tomwardle4forest ..... If you watch some of their older videos about halfway through Benny does a "3 count" or says "double time" and the chord progression speeds up.Chords are same through the whole song

[Synthbin]

Awesome !! the Best Medley ever produced !! these guys are great !! They cover all those songs so good !!

[PunkStevo7]

they didnt do "Pictures of You, Pictures of Me" !!! still was great tho

[hardcoreheigan]

[Epiczx]

So fucking awesome! That's all.

[TheJacksterman]

Every newer version I listen to, it gets longer and longer. So good!

[orangepencil7]

Does anyone know the names of the songs in this epic video?

[superbadstudio]
