Hey guys! Nice twist y'all put on it!, very nice! way to make it your own, as it should be done. Check out ours... its on my personal page here. Im the Bass/Chorographer/Cd chair of the UGA Accidentals (we were second runner up for ICCA Finals in NYC year before last & competing with every intention of going home #1 this year. Kudos guys!
To all you that are saying the Trojan Men ripped this off from Straight No Chaser:
I'm a huge fan of Straight No Chaser, but like others have said before me, they did not originate this arrangement. SNC added their own spice, the Trojan Men made it their own, heck, I even did a version of this at my school choir! But the arrangement didn't originate with SNC, though they did popularize it.
Trojan Men: I love it! I saw you all at the All Hail A Cappella concert yesterday -- GREAT JOB! ^___^
2:07 to 2:31 was freaking tight! these guys are awesome! i still think these guys are better than SNC, although SNC's version still is very fun to listen to
You did a great job! I'm sorry about that one girl, but I'd be interested to know who did arrange the song. I've heard it sung countless times and only recently by SNC.
I promise you that! It was a project in the Audio Tech Class and they found a version similar to it online and found that no one had used it so we took it and wrote the 12.5 days of christmas. We have no videos of the performance; however, a director from OU came up to the group afterwards and said he was sorry because of how that last song ended up......so we were one of the first to perform this song.
Mhmmm...? And the fact that SNC did this over a decade ago means nothing? You can make up all the stories you want, but unless you provide evidence, I'm not convinced.
I know where to get the music.....our high school was the school that wrote this song, and it just got out into the world....Straight no Chaser did a version of this.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The singers are talented, but need more training (obviously - they are young)...and it really bothers me that the group changes keys constantly (and not intentionally) and that the tone is inconsistent and lacks...not that anyone values my opinion without knowing me, but the group needs to work on listening and blending. Just a suggestion to better the group...
It was originally done by Straight No Chaser. They have a Christmas album out. I think this song is on it, but I'm not sure. I think you can get it on iTunes. Straight No Chaser's version is a bit different, but still great!
yeah it was originally Richard Gregory for the Williston Caterwaulers, not the Straight No Chaser. Both are good groups. But this seems more fun. more "youthful"
"The song was originally arranged by Richard Gregory for the Williston Caterwaulers. I've seen a ton of a cappella groups and show choirs perform this medley, with each group usually having their own additions/changes to Gregory's orginal arrangement."
@trmpt25 why do you uninformed ignorant people insist on showing your stupidity? My group has covered our version of this, which IS NOT originally by SNC btw, Richard Gregory, since it came out & its always our closing number of our Christmas show. I'm sick of the uninformed posting comments on our link of this song of this nature. I suppose we should make a separate comment thread for those like yourself & name it: "I open my mouth & my ignorance confirms the forethought"
the arrangement's been around for much longer than that. SNC is often credited, but they didn't invent it. tons of groups do this - check out SNC on wikipedia and you'll see that the arrangement's been around in diff. forms since the 50's. who knows the original creator? but it certainly wasn't SNC

you should definitely give credit to the many segments you used from Straight No Chaser in the description, it is nearly exactly same with an exception of the end
i like it but u should give credit where credit is due

SNC did not do this first. You could say they popularized it, but they are not credited for creating this arrangement.

No, were a number of versions done before SNC in years ago. But they did indeed popularize it.
