  • With apologies to the Isley Brothers, this is the best version of this song EVER!

  • @alphamommy89 You should check out their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. You'll never listen to Queen again !!

  • amazing

    

  • This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

  • Isn't Jerome just the best Penguin ever ?!! (second from our left)

  • @Qwinkly3 Jerome for Flair, Ben for Boldness.

  • I may be going a bit deaf, but I can't quite catch what Jason is saying at about 3:21. Can anyone help?

  • @monkfan72 "I'll bet they'll do whatever I say." 

  • @Qwinkly3 :::facepalm::: Thanks. :)

  • This lead guy reminds me of Jack Black sooo much.

    awesome!

  • 13 people are deaf...

  • Fucking ridiculous crowd

  • animal house?

  • oh my dog i love that guy holding that note at the end!!!

  • @sexykitten313 That's JORDAN MEYER. Let him serenade you here: “UC Men's Octet - Let's Stay Together” (YouTube /watch?v=MPofFzomPn8) (Hey, love your comment, "Oh my dog." I'll be using that. I hate that it's become fashionable to use God's name in vain for such trivial purposes. But I couldn't figure out a substitute comment. Yours is great. Fits perfectly, points out the problem, but not preachy. It's gentle and funny! THANKS!!)

  • @qwinkly

    Given sexykitten313's name, I seriously doubt the substitution was for religious purposes.

  • @treehugger99999 Awww, come on. We can't be sure of that. Yeah, I'm a straight-laced type (had a British mother, and they're much more proper than merely "English"). But the "Kitten" there might just be sexy in private, for her husband, and a little freer with the internet moniker than some people. It's not like she (?) goes by SatanWorshipper666 or anything. LOL

  • THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

  • how is this song called?

    love love this octet ! You're amazing, it would be unbelievable if you guys would performe in germany, i would be the first who buy a card!! <3

  • The best 7-man Octet ever.

  • @PokerJoker811 look up rodney carrington on beer for my horses it's better js not being rude

  • Are the audience performing seals!!!! Stop clapping, the octet make the music!

  • you do otis day and the nights and the isley brothers proud when you do this song.

  • am gitting tierd now ! :)) ahhh i love this part lol

  • Legends ...the best Octet from UC i have seen..frankly the best Octet i have ever seen..you are all very unique and got your own voices..talented beyond belief..many octets have a "boring member " or are just plain boring haha..you guys are special..very special.

  • I have just discovered these blokes....and spent the last 4 hours watching them. WOW what a blast!!!

    Bloody shit hot!!

  • YEYEYE YEYEYE!!!!!

  • Now who's your daddy now

  • The leader has a nice voice..very soulful...and the harmony is amazing as usual..nice comedic undertone :)..these guys make me want to attend UC LOL

  • @danielsboo jason was not the leader of the group..that would be jerome who is second from the left of the screen. i agree they are amazing..i want to too :D

  • @wendel88 Actually, Jerome wasn't the leader of the group, either. Jerome was the music manager. They also have a business manager and an events manager.

  • Can they come to the Netherlands?!?!?!

    I love them!

  • Mad respect for the guys on stage, it's so hard to sing in rhythm when there's a retarded crowd in front of you clapping off beat.

  • who is your daddy now ? xD

  • AU!

    girls going AU!

    yeyeye

  • AU!

    chicks going AU!

    awesome

  • The ending was brilliant. And, my golly gosh, I only thought off-beat clapping happened in Denmark. Not sure if I'm now relieved or a little sad lol

  • @gbraae Sad to say, but in this day and age "off beat clapping" is running rampant all over the world. I've seen it, and it's a horror.

  • worst clapping in history

  • @TYLerlittmann

    whats wrong about it?

  • @Zuberzuber its off beat

  • They are clapping off beat WTH!!

  • that's a show!

  • I wish I could hold notes that beautifully. ;)

  • lol right when they get into their groove the audience has to mess it up with their offbeat clapping.

  • @Cashew115 Yeah, that's so annoying.. offbeat clapping..

  • That was amazing. . . I wish I could go back in time and see this live :)

  • these guys are all triple threats: smart, funny and talented! Go CAL!

  • These guys have skill. Cal is the best. I love my native state of California!

  • oh man all of you are way to good for your own good

  • hey i'm french and i would like to buy their cd ( of this 2003 team ) how can i do please ?

  • @magic733 The Octopella cd (this group's) isn't avaialable at the moment, though the Octet are considering putting it on iTunes. The Fall '03 - 06 featured in the High Octane cd, (Some of their vids are in the related videos sidebar), which you can purchase by going to the Octet's home page and clicking 'media' and 'cd purchasing info." You'll get info on how to purchase a cd. They're $16.00 + a small s/h fee, though I'm not sure about international orders. I'm purchasing it myself.

  • I've been wondering - I would purchase!

  • oh man

    I'm a singer and I would love to study at that university, experience that amazing atmosphere

    amazing people

  • @lucasdpc Ummm...the Octet seemed to want them to clap along....

  • @br0wnie1987 probably, but it's kinda annoying for us to listen :/

  • HAHAHA Jordan XD

  • "do what i say now! yeah, who's your daddy now!" xD hi-larious! and wonderfully done! :-)

  • Well done!!

  • cant belive just 170K views.. why? u r amazing!

  • Found em about 5 seconds ago dude. Totally agree

  • Actually it was the Isley brothers who sang the original version of shout not the Temptations. this is good

  • the ooooooohh-guy is cool ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • You guys are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!  Love the vocals, love the energy ... keep on rockin'!!

  • Comment removed

  • i see you sing a lot of temptations. you guys must have seen the temptations movie. good job.

  • Absolutely amazing! Very well done! I wish I could see them live, it would be so much fun! :)

  • Is his name Jason? Awesome!

    I think these guys are awersome and Jason has PIPES man! He can really sing.

    I like their version Bohemian Rhapsody also!!

  • that intro is a shot of energie to me.

    I just wan't to sing along

  • amazing!

  • I also stumbled across these guys whilst looking for vocal choirs for my BTEC. Their are brilliant and I hope to see them one day...

  • congadawg << me 3 i love these guys they rock!!

  • stumbled upon these guys by accident. Most amazing group I"ve ever seen. Not just the vocals, but the energy and amount of fun they have. I've watched every single video they have and hope to see more someday.

  • i found them in the same way, the best surprise! AND SUCH GREAT ENTERTAINERS!!! they're so contagious they make me want to start singing a cappella as well... but for everyone's sake i'll control myself.:)

  • Jason reminds me of Jim Gaffigan. Anyone else?

  • now THESE guys are entertainers.

  • I love this guys :)

  • Hahaz the pure excitement is hard to find...

  • awssome love the guy in the back freakin out makin the lead singer laugh

  • came upon this series of vids by accident...glad i did.

  • I stumbled upon them in November of last year and I'm still stuck. LOL. Keep enjoying them. This is a truely remarkable group.

  • Same and I go to a completely different school with their own A Capella group, yet I cannot fall in love with those.

  • Same here, i love it ^^

  • @apachestan Me, too. =D

  • @apachestan so did I...me 2. It was kinda funny at the end when they started acting like chickens & penguins...looked like a bunch of Charlie Chaplin wannabes! lol

  • @apachestan Exactly what I did hehe, I'm very glad too :)

  • the best show they've ever done.

  • 4:00 onwards was awesome!

  • HAHAHA. 1:58

    I almost peed myself.

  • jordan looks like he's having so much fun throwing his hands in the air and doing the "wohoohh" part towards the end of the song!

  • 3:48 I think I snorted I laughed so hard!

  • brilliant :) I love these guys!

  • He reminds me of Jack Black

  • Only he's actually funny and talented. Jason, that is, not Jack.

  • Very true.  Jack Black isn't too impressive. Anybody can do stupid things to be funny. It takes actual talent to sing a perform like all of these guys.

  • jack black has a phenomonal voice i dont know what your talking about...its funny but he is a gifted singer as well this guy is the same

  • i don't know who is the firtst singer on this song but he really seems like an actor he's so funny ! and he got the face !

  • I think he picks up where John Belushi left off. May god rest his soul. I only hope this guy does not do speed balls. You're right he has the face for comedy and he can surely belt out the song.!

  • People with a sense of humor rock, and people with great talent rock...

    ...the fact that you guys incorporate both, makes you guys REALLY rock it.

  • Awesome!!!!

    You guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

  • That has to be one of the cleverest endings i have ever heard. it ties up the whole concert and brings it full circle.

  • I've been looking around on other UC Octet videos from different years, and this is my favorite set of them.

  • yep the funniest and best vocal range!

  • "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!"

  • By far the best eight i've seen online.

  • its actually seven

  • I thought it was seven, but I'm too lazy to count.

  • Took me a while before I realized they were short by one.

  • damn what a voice!*starts dancing*...xD

  • what a voice. :)

  • Not gonna lie, I had tears of laughter in my eyes around the "Walk like a penguin now!" part. This guys are absolutely fabulous indeed.

  • Absolutely FABULOUS! I have been trying to find out where the guys are now. I am not fond of the other octets before or after these guys in particular. Still in shock that Ken Kamrin went on to teach math at Harvard.

  • Where is this guy now? I watch these vids every now and then, and I recall seeing him leaving comments. Does he ever post vids? I hope so, if anyone knows please respond.

  • His name is Jason Mabie.

    His account name is gobears236 (I'm not 100% on the number off the top of my head)

    He hasn't posted any a capella stuff since these things.

  • He should

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, I know. It's fairly obviously Kenny's channel.

    And yeah, I read that it's Jason's dad that films them.

    I was just saying he hasn't posted any a capella stuff since participating in the UC Men's Octet.

  • Jerome is the BEST PENGUIN EVUR!!1!!

  • You may hate the song, but everyone knows to get softer and louder and respond at 3:04.

  • Comment removed

  • Well, considering the song's called 'Shout' and not 'Clap', I'm surprised it went the way it did. =P

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Okay, upon consideration, in defense of the students, "Shout!" is usually done at a dance.

  • so sexy!
