"Sixteen Tons" by The Yale Spizzwinks(?) of 2005-09

[palleserabia]

I can't stop watching this video. Absolutely incredible.

[deathbonker]

this dude kills it.

[TimeKillerNL]

Your all great

[lincolnhachyellick]

I actually found myself clapping afterward... then I remembered I was in the library.

[top2percent]

I listen to great stuff like this and then turn around to see people like Niki Minaj *spits* making obscene amounts of money from their "music".

[beabeautiful]

32 people weren't sitting on their speakers whilst he was singing.

[AggiePhill]

Just amazing. This is the best version of this song I've heard yet!

[solracaraca]

Puberty hit this dude 3 times or what?

[SaraTheNugget]

I just want to hear more of that man!

[ASKHIMY2J]

That guy in the blue shirt at the left side of the front row clearly needs to learn how to clap.

[HeroUnicorn]

Gotta hear him sing Swing Low

[madgrinchhatter]

I love being a bass

[malow87]

I've watched a few other videos of the Spizzwicks now and they seem to sing overall higher pitched when this guy is doin his solo...

[bivekp]

The tie goes perfectly well with the soccer jersey. I need to dress up like that for my next job interview.

[starwarsfreakgeek]

I have been obsessed with this video like crazy... It's made me want to sing this for our choir revue show. (A concert where we can sing whatever we want)

[wynnefox]

Where's that download link?

[Jalendragon]

That voice! I just can't get over how he has.... THAT voice.

[Mahekaw]

The old man clap at the end of the video makes it for me.

[TheParadogzon]

You shall not bass!

[TheRok99]

This guy got 16 tons of pussy for singing this

[GanjaSupport]

Badass Voice.

[RapeDKoalA]

@kingkastchei a judge during a competition put a question mark there because he didn't know if he spelled spizzwinks right. He left it there by accident and it stuck with the group. This is the real reason.

[RapeDKoalA]

My throat would explode trying to sing that low in the end.

[kelath5555]

My heart is all aflutter over that man's voice. Whew!

[KingKastschei]

To those who commented on the economic status of Yale students: Seriously??? My sister went to yale, and there's NO way she would have been able to without massive financial aid. If you're good and smart enough, they'll get you in the school no matter where you come from.

Unrelated question... Is there some ambiguity about the name of the group, hence the question mark? I ask cause my brother in law sang in a group like this at Yale called the Whiffenpoofs... same group, I wonder?

[Padraig1980]

Taken from their website:

"That year, the editor of the Yale Banner was unsure of the spelling of the fledgling group and added a question mark in parentheses. The group liked the look of "The Spizzwinks(?)" and the parenthetical question mark is still with us today."

[hkobb7]

Lol at going back 10 pages of comments to find @NosajDurmit's comment and finding that it was actually kind of funny.

[Jarodd1234]

The end is freaking mind blowing!

[malow87]

It's inbetween those hours of footage of stupid people doing the most stupid stuff, that I actually come to love youtube.

[Sinehj]

This cute ginger fella rocks! :-)

[slysci]

Racist. Not sure how, but its racist.

[skijones007]

@slysci How is this racist?

[slysci]

@skijones007 Relax, just a bit of fun.

[atarimental]

Whats with the guy in the pink pants on the left.

[Obalanserad]

I want more from this guy!

[takriel]

Honestly, does it really matter wherever people come from to watch the video? Whether they're from 4chan, reddit, memebase, or wherever, we're all just here to appreciate this amazing voice, and this amazing group. So, instead of saying to brace yourself, for a particular group is coming, or that one group had this first, or that another group made this viral, why don't we all simmer down, and discuss as gentlemen, the amazing music?

[officialperson]

Holy shit, that was incredible

[officialperson]

Holy shit, this is incredible

[officialperson]

Holy shit, this is incredible

[MrTallassd]

Brace yourself. . . memebasers are coming.

[wiithepeople2]

stooooooooooooooooooore

[Dreamer00JK]

Look at the old guy clapping at the end 2:38

[scionofgrace]

What a glorious voice! Keep singing, dude!

[Matthiasflint]

Wow, he looks an awful lot like the Bass singer from Rockapella, anyone else think that?

[zungaloca]

Senorita

[wbbrown81]

I want to hear this guy on "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"

[l0g1cb0mb]

@wbbrown81 We thought the very same thing when We heard the first verse of this song! The vocalist for the Mr. Grinch tune is one of the reasons the song works so well. Pretty amazing sound!

[DukeFan1971]

@wbbrown81 LOL I was thinking the same thing as soon as he started singing! Haha

[anasazidarkmoon]

Jesus Tapdancing Christ! Where the hell is he keeping that voice?! He doesn't look like he should be able to contain it at all. o_O

[six2013]

Dat Bass.

[Icanplaybassme]

Id love to hear him saying wub wub wub wub wub!

[Animage]

Holy... That voice is awesome!!

[xmentosx]

How is the top comment not about that last note?

[GanjaSupport]

Mad skilled.

[sacriel42]

I love the fail click at 0:42 thumbs up!

[nethitters]

Chocolate rain!

[vivian11071958]

Bravo! as one of your stepmoms yoga students, I appreciate the arts and especially musical talent. You have a very nice, smooth, deep tone to your voice, keep using it and God Bless :)

[ablestmage]

Tennessee Ernie Ford, eat your heart out

[vitto]

tyson sonday..chocolare rain

[Joesus5000]

He's been eating miracle grow.

[alitheblond]

Did he eat Barry White?!

[fairwfriend]

@alitheblond For a midnight snack.

[Cuyut982]

I've watched this like 100 times.

[callofdutykoning]

@Cuyut982 ok

[sacriel42]

@Cuyut982 is that all?

[Odin7thor]

punk haircut, tie on an Addidas shirt, that's the style!!

[seventechceo]

this is great and all, but Harvard gets their videos shot in 1080P...just saying

[caldwellj]

@seventechceo This was shot in 1080p but, if you know your YouTube history, at the time it was uploaded, the maximum permitted uploads were in 720p. 1080p uploads weren't permitted until November 2009. So, if anyone from Harvard would like a copy of this video in 1080p, I'll be more than happy to oblige...just saying.

[callofdutykoning]

@caldwellj ok

[TimothyNDouglas0711]

This guy is amazing

[andrewwojcik21]

Basso profundoooo



[akopianarsen]

Fantastic performance

[gittyskatinaz]

@NosajDurmit Because he respects and understands the poor mans struggle? How the hell does that make him a scumbag. He might be poor as shit going to Yale on a scholarship. Since he's not a dumb ass like you.

[stevenfrederiksen]

@gittyskatinaz Jokes, do you speak it?

[goboy51]

Awesome Adidas shirt + Tie combo

[lorealmadonna8]

I think his voice is divine!

[lorealmadonna8]

@NosajDurmit YOUR DUMB AND AN INSULT TO THE HUMAN RACE!

YOU FUCKING RETARD THIS IS A CLASSIC COUNTRY SONG!

YOUR MAD BECAUSE YOU CANT GET INTO YALE!

[SaoMir1]

@NosajDurmit Do you know how much financial aid they get?

[FFXPWNS]

Scumbag everyone: It's a song. Just because he's singing it doesn't mean it applies to him.

[MontyPython12345]

@FFXPWNS That's just why it sounds like crap when he sings it.

[pimpss88]

@NosajDurmit it's possible that he got scholarship 

[Bigblock6o]

I wish I had that voice it would make prank call so much better

[cardiffuniful]

@NosajDurmit good point. you could choke on the irony

[hanesj75]

@NosajDurmit - you can be poor AND go to Yale University...

[itdoesntgetanybigger]

why do people think it's productive to comment on the financial status of people they don't even know? it makes for an incredibly inane exercise in speculation.

[funniestbone]

@NosajDurmit Scumbag commenter:

Makes assumptions about singer

Doesn't realize song is universal.

[ElleKayRose]

@NosajDurmit so i can't sing a sad love song if i'm in a happy relationship? it's a song. do you only sing songs about things that directly reflect your exact personal reality? easy up on the insults. :)

[MusicTeacherMcGorry]

Why does this have to be politicized? The guy has an incredible voice. Is he not allowed to sing this song because of his economic circumstances, which we don't know anything about, except that he was at Yale? Just listen to the music. Close your eyes if you need to.

[Thingamajigs]

Now sing Trolololol

[ArtificialNinja1]

$40,000.00 a semester, well spent?

[AlexPoldersma]

Great Voice man, 1 of the deepest i've ever heard whilst it keeps sounding pure not like someone who has a cold ;)

[Jtlake]

Dem big ears!  =O

[dumski101]

@NosajDurmit Not really. Chances are, he actually owes his soul to his loan office.

[Xxsharkman423Xx]

you're a robber...mister Grinch.

[brookecrhodes]

His parents worked hard and saved their money to pay for his college education, he actually went to school everyday and studied hard, did his homework and turned it in on time. Took singing lessons at his public school and practiced every day to improve, and now he gets to reap the benefits...ya what a scumbag!

[ArtificialNinja1]

@brookecrhodes Not really he mostly just paid a retarded amount of money, and nepotism or connections saw fit the rest.

[ghostdein1]

they sing well, but they can't dress for shit

[pische]

And that, my son, is a badly placed microphone.

[sweebalo]

It's almost like Tay Zonday, except this guy can actually sing.

[BigMisterApple]

ah crap.. dumpert fags incoming..

[6buster]

@BigMisterApple Dumpert? :L Please don't say that's like another 9fag.

[BigMisterApple]

@6buster actually.. its pretty much the same but worse.. bunch of schoolkids that try to act like adults.. I mean, they can do whatever they like, sure.. but dont go around youtube saying DUMPERT!! or whatever.. thats just sad..

[firemarshal1bill]

You're a mean one... Mr. Grinch.

[RHAK313]

Brilliant

[dizneedave]

I want to hire this guy to do "Never Gonna Give You Up" at my next birthday party.

[BearsonsProductions]

BY THE POWER OF REDDIT, IT HAS BECOME VIRAL!

[0rganDon0r]

@BearsonsProductions More like Liveleak made it viral. Yale doesn't want to be associated with known pedophiles.

[Cresitan258]

@BearsonsProductions 4chan before reddit.

[420lightmyspliff420]

@BearsonsProductions i saw it on memebase

[MidnightVoyager]

If that guy's voice goes any lower, he'll turn into Tennessee Ernie Ford.

[Timelessthought]

@NosajDurmit You can be poor and attend a good college. Its called a scholarship.

[Ononemuss]

@NosajDurmit They do have a little thing called financial aid, however.

[lucas199400]

DUMPERT.

[Ahukaful]

I don't care he's a guy, that sound is sexy!

[nettnimmeg]

no body knows the trouble i seen

[lachass99]

sounds like the narrator from how the grinch stole christmas

[MontyPython12345]

I didn't know Rick Astley went to Yale.

[FloridaRaider]

I think that's lip synced

[tolvispelvis]

@FloridaRaider No it is´nt

[6buster]

Classy sports t shirt and a tie..

[UGFhero]

ears

[ukali53]

What the hell is this guy wearing?

[JimJimJimNL]

Where can i find more of him?



[Prinzomniac]

The future riches

[CorruptDeviant]

25 people were so turned on that they passed out and fell on the dislike button.

[IdFap2that]

Oh course its a tiny little ginger LOL!

[mroscoe]

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.

[100PercentJoseph]

Did he save any puberty for the rest of us?

[KoolThing14]

[KieransWorld]

Reddit anyone?

[kswiss111]

@KieransWorld Reddit indeed

[StroubleAnTrife]

I bet if he tries to go even deeper he turns black...

[HeadFullaFuzz]

@NosajDurmit Thought that said "Scumbag Ginger" at first.

[shamwow1996]

@NosajDurmit It's called Financial Aid. And working hard in high school and getting good grades.

[SwissDHD]

@shamwow1996 it's called a SONG, doesn't have to be real in any way

[BooleanIndecisive]

too much man for me.

[MonkeyRoll]

He reminds me of a friend of mine that also has a deep voice. His voice was so deep that during his freshman year(hs) during class the first time he spoke the teacher gave him the nickname manvoice.

[SOOLxCKKMaGiicZ]

He once went down on a girl....she is still having orgasms

[aswisshe]

I tried pausing the video for a phone call. Didn't work. You can't stop that voice.

[m4110y]

who cares about what he's wearing?

his name is Yale Spizzwinks

[Agemrepus]

anyone else notice the old guy clapping like a retard in the front row?

[lochwinnoch]

@MrPBancroft Officially the most helpful and non-ranting comment on youtube. Kudos to you sir - I did not know this either

[Ketsui]

Dat derp clap.

[brettonlee]

i wonder what he would sound like with sulfur hexafluoride...

[XenoGenome]

@brettonlee

If he was on sulfur hexafluoride, buildings would crumble and old people would shit their pants.

[GonnaSin]

This guy's nuts are the size of cantaloupes.

[LegendaryHumanBeing]

Oooold Maaan Riveeer

[Heklep]

"I'm owe my soul to the company store" ?

[MrPBancroft]

@Heklep Coal Miners were once paid in bonds, only redeemable in the company store.

[sjmian]

Marcosm64 *probably 

[sjmian]

@Marcosm64 Probaly a stroke

[mackinm00se]

well damn... I'll just leave my penis in the offering pile.

[DataCutter]

I am more impressed with the Microphone that seems to be able to pick up this man's singing without him standing near it.

[theciskokidd]

Chocolate RAAAIN!!!

[thenfm]

cure hipster faggotry: MANHOOD101. COM

[Dendron88]

How low can man get?

[Xybr1s]

Is that penis on his head?

[IsJakeMe]

His voice makes up for the terrible fashion sense.

[TheSnufking]

you call that deep? haha, fucking squirrel faggots.

[MerilandSolid]

@TheSnufking haha

[joshonbass]

I want to hear him sing the grinch song.

[enelson19]

So, good thing that deer flew away before it got hit by that car!

[SkinnyRudeBitch]

I actually like this lol.

[Mournfist]

it'd be really cool for that dood to talk shit on xbox live. while in my party obviously. just sayin.

[Zagaroth]

That was awesome singing

[gotitans999]

his hair loss on the sides caused his balls to drop for the second time

[KaLdEeShSiNgHjOhAl]
