[The1WeirdGuy]

Where to get the lyrics of this awesome version?

[WeaslyIsOurKing]

You guys never, ever fail to make my day.

[DROkrome]

So FRESH and so CLEAN...

[efryll1]

totally agree... he's too damn sexy... LOL...

[TofuSnow]

15 people aren't pretty enough...

[Tirakul95]

HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS????/

[BackpackBlog]

May I marry this man? He is adorable. . -  .

[unionvilletaxi]

THIS NEVER GETS OLD!!! Still makes me laugh every time!

[unionvilletaxi]

THIS NEVER GETS OLD!!!

[gbraae]

Ok, this is seriously funny lololol. Thank you

[TheFormationProject]

15 people are from Ecuador

[logitecho13]

This is especially amazing considering he is a bass

[WarblerDalton]

What was the line before the making faces part?

[TVFILMBUFF]

@WarblerDalton

They chose, this song, for me to sing while I was gone.

They said... no prob.

We're sure you'll do a bang up job (he had no choice)

But I've made... fun of... myself long enough (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

And they make faces at my back

[suxmyswag]

i almost didnt watch this today, thank god i remembered XD

[baisuh]

What did they sing when the audience went "Aww?"

[mayya09]

@baisuh Rick was singing " I am embarassed...to be me." XD

[monkeyinmymind]

3:03 bulge much? Also, what is being sung when the line bang up job is being sung

[logitecho13]

@monkeyinmymind "he had no choice"

[maddyacoustics]

I find it crazy that this song was known in America.

[VictoryAsIAm]

No matter how many times I watch this, I always smile and laugh! Way to go! That was awesome. ^.^

[JennyJubyJay]

those 15 people are NOT PRETTY ENOUGH.

[megalish1991]

I absolutely love these guys!!! So funny! and they do it so seemlessly!

[JoZeeLee]

THESE GUYS ARE HYPED UP ON EN-DORK-PHINS. XD I LOVE IT

[SkyaRuna]

I really love this part 2:13 to 2:45. I can't stop playing it over and over again! You're really awesome, guys! Love your singing, love your humor, love your EVERYTHING!

[qwinkly]

@SkyaRuna You have to back up just 2 precious seconds, to 2:11. Check out Rick's resigned, disgusted look just before he sings, "And they make faces at my back." Such great acting !

[Elbenquelle]

I'd love to have the lyrics for that xD You made my day ^^ I can't stop laughing!!!

[osmium67]

I love this guy! entertaining funny AND talented! what more could the ladies want?!

[sexykitten313]

im a lady!!! and im 18!! WWOOOHH!!

[neloose]

isn't it annoying when you get a crush on someone you'll never meet... why did you have to be such a perfect mixture of geeky and sexy?!

[Tirakul95]

oooh!!!!! I wanna Man who can sing like that!!!!!!!

[Qwinkly3]

(Anyone trying to use that Ask.com link has to take all the spaces out of my string. It would accept my post unless I broke it up.)

[Qwinkly3]

Hey Rick, you should definitely sing when you ask to get engaged. That would be the most unique and memorable engagement moment ! The lucky "she" would be the envy of every young woman around for years !!

[gobears236]

@Qwinkly3 Rick's already married...but perhaps there was singing involved. You never know with Rick :) There was definitely singing involved when I got engaged last year. I will certainly be inviting a hand-picked all-star Octet to the wedding, and Rick is definitely on that short list!

[uknowispeaksense]

pure theatre. awesome

[ezzierah15]

Yes, you are too damn sexy. ;)

[mnyaaah]

This never fails to amuse :)

[realconnection8718]

I love it!

[oytboy]

where are all my ladies?

[RCHairbrush]

I listen to :42 and have a hard time believing that this guy was their bass!

[Qwinkly3]

@RCHairbrush Not picking on your comment, but pointing out to everyone that, throughout this whole concert, the entire group has such great control and usage of their falsettos ! And never nasal when using them, always sweet and so lovely. Always a serenade, even in comedy !!! This was a very rare group indeed.

[RCHairbrush]

@Qwinkly3

I thought I was complimenting the guy for having such a huge vocal range. He's the bass, but at the start of this song when he's singing so high, he still sounds better than most people. And I'm not sure that that's falsetto at :42. It sounds more like his head voice to me. In any event, it's impressive.

[monkfan72]

@RCHairbrush You should hear him sing McDonald's Girl on the Octopella cd. He's got a great falsetto.

[Qwinkly3]

@RCHairbrush I'm a 1st Soprano. What would I know, LOL? I do believe you're right ! Thanks for the lesson. Readers - After crawling about the internet, the best description of the difference between head voice & falsetto seems to be here: htt p:// answers. yahoo. com/question/index?qid=2008052­5150215AAh3HYE (Whodathunk Ask.com would have the best answer?) Since Rick is able to use the exact same power & tone color as previous, it must be within his head voice range. Wow!

[0anchy0]

The best, ever! :D

<3

[musicmister20102010]

way underrated. pure genious.

[megan747]

this is just the funniest thing. i love every second. and the music is superb!

[luke101308]

this video should be a you-tube legend, the epitome of barbershop humor.

[shpshftr66]

Hilarious. Brillant.

[efryll1]

damn... these guys are good... haha... and this is so funny...

[JennaGwenna]

he totally reminds me of my friend!

[blkbait]

[Coricopat42]

[ohmzirkel]

2:18... loooooooove looove looooove it! <3<3<3<3<3<3 gorgeous

[rkkrqqqqrssss]

he's gonna have fun with the girls tonight....

[SumWunGye]

He looks exactly like Waldo right when he stops hiding! XD

Every part of this is really great and transitions well, not just in the musical sense, but in the way the story progresses, including the lead-in speech.

Every joke was great and well-executed. Great job to these guys!

P.S. - 6'4"? ...He's as tall as I am. :D

[mycoolgecko]

if they where still together imagine how big they would be...

[NoNameLikeThisOne]

I'd love to get the lyrics for this.

[lonely033breaker]

i wish they could have their own show

[kerstin22031981]

is there still a possibility that you tour in europe??? :-)

[gobears236]

@kerstin22031981 If a person or organization pays our expenses and a stipend to come to Europe, I'm sure that we'd go!! :o)

[terraruber]

that was asweome,. I wanna listen to him song more

[scruffy2011]

[DemonInYourView]

I think I just fell in love a little bit. What a cute parody! :)

[emjem12312]

this never gets old!!!!! its amazing.

i discovered this like two years ago and im still in love with it. <3333

:]

[mandymoo35]

@emjem12312 , i know right?! a few years ago i found this when i was living alone for the first time and watched it every single day and still come back to it once in a while

[SuperSkank07]

rofl at barry is it??? "i'll him an alto" hahahaha

[powerkidd]

this is so beatiful

[jemoess]

[kelly901488]

true dat.

[00MissDani00]

I'd love to hear these guys sing "Balls Deep in Love" from the Cleveland Show hehe

[kelly901488]

ur pretty enough for me<3

[bacorinne]

I wanna date him

[monkeyinmymind]

Hes so cute!

[kayjo92]

it would be amazing if 10 years later his children found this on youtube.

they would be so proud.

[txmeerkat]

If Straight No Chaser can have a reunion and record new albums, then I think the 2003 UC Men's Octet needs to start planning a comeback.....I'm just saying....

:-)

[monkfan72]

@txmeerkat Don't want to be a bubble burster, but I believe in the case of SNC, a record company offered them a contract because they saw the videos which allowed SNC to make their comeback.

[scurulla]

I agree... I found these videos a couple months ago, and keep coming back to replay them. This group sang really well and were great performers. I'd pay money to see them in a show and would buy their CD.

[greencow423]

Story of my life... <3

[booksmart4ever]

people call you Harry Potter? XD just kidding!

[booksmart4ever]

"why did the guys deport me?" LOL you're so cute! you ARE too damn sexy!

[Michal950117]

@booksmart4ever

Yeah, well the thing is...that the lyrics are not accurate with the original and i would like to sing sometimes this version :(

[monkfan72]

@booksmart4ever according to Octopella, "they're jealous" because he "get's all the play". LOL.

[00MissDani00]

So cute!

[tonylove16]

Is this the uc berkeley men's octet?

i wanted to join this upcoming semester but I have too much going on :(

[kphoenix27]

so in love with that dude

[WolvesHaveNoKings]

This song has stuck in my head so much that I'm singing it at work.

[glitters131]

Call me, Rick.

[AuburnChick180]

Adorable! Such a clever group :)

[jackscoli]

that's freakin' hilarious!!!!!

[SatanisaBeaverShark]

Epicness.

[Menamebephil]

Note to self: THIS WORKS. INVEST IN TIE AND GLASSES.

ALSO SINGING LESSONS.

[kaimukico2009]

"what a stupid solo"

maybe but it is an awesome solo!!!

[Randomq1]

Not pretty enough? He's like a young Hugh Laurie! xD

[bladethrower9000]

that was funny as hell

[Snarethedrummer]

Those womens are all over that shit.

[Muglez14]

No kidding. It's great.

I might have to try this...

[MichaelaLeach]

DIBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Whosader]

These guys are awesome - I've watched this one, Bohemian Rhapsody and the Nirvana Medley about a hundred times - love the backing harmonies - (yes, I know that's the idea...). Really wish there was a CD...

[MunfyKun]

Parker's high note was the highlight of the song :)

[December13Sunshine]

One word: nerdilicious! ... or something like that  :-) something -licious

[LovedeAcapella]

Adorkable is what we say.

[unionvilletaxi]

This is my "make my smile song" Having a bad day, listen to it. Can't help but laugh

[MissOyamat]

so true...i love this video as well...rick wood rocks!

[MissOyamat]

love this song tooo....toooo much...i think

[kylecali]

which UC is this?

[danmicahtsai]

The original University of California. Berkeley! =) Go bears!

[TheNSizzle]

what does he say at 0:56?

I hear it as (after a lot of straining)

"people make for to me as they read butter"

which can't be right.

AMAZING rendition

[fiwaceth]

"People refer to me as Harry Potter."

XD

[thedeltabravos]

"people refer to me as harry potter"

[taekwondodrum]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH­AH

[ireallylovetui]

people, refer to me as harry potter.

[kachyla]

it's actually "people refer to me as Harry Potter"

[Lee42able]

It's people refer to me as harry potter

[UnobviouslyHere]

Lmao.

[MLLovesTheRev]

god i frikin love uc men's i wish i could see them live but they dont come to england do they ?

[monkfan72]

For the right price...but the guys are different. LOL.

[monkfan72]

...and by 'for the right price...but the guys are different' I mean that you could hire the current Octet to perform - not sure what all the thumb rejection is about.

[fiwaceth]

Unfortunately, no. They're an a capella group from a university in California, and since this video is from 2003, most of them have probably graduated by now. It would've been something to see them live, though.

[MadMile10]

this is my feel-good youtube video :)

[xflashahh]

aw, parker's awesome

[ZerveDA]

He can jump octaves like its his job. I have trouble with mid-range jumps, and here he goes making it look easy.

[julijundrius]

Parker is famous

[AeroDSI]

did the spooky men make this song... cus I know they sing it

[monkfan72]

Hahaha...This is a parody of a song called "Not Pretty Enough". Parker did the words and he or one of the other guys (maybe Jerome - just a guess) arranged it to be sung a cappella.

[slagcity]

nope, nash & kasey chambers did

[monkfan72]

Oops...my bad. To clarify: Parker wrote the words to the *parody* of Not Pretty Enough, not the original.

[bestevez1]

best-octet-EVER

[b3ti3]

i like geeks like him :)

[megsmad]

b-e-a-utiful nerdy goodness!!

[greendayrockdude]

1:23 was so adorable! :D

I now love Rick Wood, dorky AND a bass :} <3

[nirvanatoday]

if the note at 1:13 was really low for him, he is definitely not a bass. I mean, I'm not even pure bass and this is in my middle range

[monkfan72]

He's a bass, You can check his Bass Skillz in O Fortuna/O Joe and I like Big Butts.

[greendayrockdude]

*hi5's monkfan72 for octet nerdy-fanness :D*

Watch the 2003 opening video, at about 2:35. ;P

[monkfan72]

I've memorized the video..but will chex out the very moment of 2:35. :)

[monkfan72]

nirvanatoday, you may also want to check out their version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Rick sang a falsetto in this piece. And in Jerome's solo in Beauty's Only Skin Deep, Jerome hit a pretty high note. Octet basses have spectacular range.

[orangepandas]

not just octet basses, all basses have amazing range. Well atleast the ones that know how to work their voices properly

[LawlessSystem]

The performance is amazing. 2:35 is so funny! Can't stop laughing.

[anitamoreno]

so why did rick wood not join them the first few weeks?

[monkfan72]

Good question.

[Banda247]

he is the most adorable guy! ♥

[chefdumas10]

XD XD XD

They're awesome!!!!!!

[LucasForeman]

I love this song. This guy makes me proud to be a bass. Not alot of songs do that anymore lol

[monkfan72]

You should check out Beauty's Only Skin Deep and O Fortuna/O Joe by this Octet...You'll find Bass Pride in those as well.

[jones001]

my absolute favorite, this group is definately the best

[calcozzie]

This is my fave!!!! I no ALL of the words i've listend to it that much! An i've listened to ALL of their videos! I'd gladly marry Richard! lol Love it guys! Im from the UK! Invite me to see you guys, i would be on the next flight ;-) xxxx

[Chikokishi]

This song makes me want to learn how to sing

[archerandy147]

That was amazing! I have always wanted to sing in a group like that!

[jemoess]

i think i've watched this about 20 times since i discovered it 3 days ago lol! makes me laugh every time!

[monkfan72]

Careful, this video is how I got hooked. They're like crack-appella.

[kaiyaxrawr]

omg i completely agree! this is the best year for the group. i can't stop listening to them!

[ihatemrbean]

i know what you mean. i think i'm becoming borderline stalker-y already. i watch this video everyday!

can't. help. myself.

[raewillson]

So awesome! I watch this at least once a day! Love it ;)

[spuuradic]

[ihatemrbean]
