UC Men's Octet Fall Show 2003 pt 1 - Since You've Been Gone

[dreamend112]

HAHAH they guy in middle if soooo awesome xD

[EdgeZombie]

Naaaw... I was expecting Rainbow's Since You've Been Gone.

[abescaashman]

1:35 is my fav part of all there videos :D

[yanannyou]

i also thought it was jack black wahahahaha... cant stop laughing.. ahhaha and yeah that screaming witch is annoying haha

[Orlandu2607]

When I see this video if someone shot people in the crowd, because you hear girls screaming for 30 seconds... Really?

[monkfan72]

@Orlandu2607 The Octet are the rock stars of Berkeley. Hence the screaming ladies,

[Orlandu2607]

@monkfan72 It's one thing if it's a whole crowd, but another thing if it is 2 or 3 repeatedly....

[monkfan72]

@Orlandu2607 groupies, then? It's probably their friends. :)

[Orlandu2607]

@monkfan72 Yeah, "Who can be the most annoying while they scream?" It's just a tad too much...

[monkfan72]

@Orlandu2607 It was probably much less 'annoying' at the actual concert than in the video 7 years later. The kids at this concert were just gagging to hear the Octet singing. :) And ladies screamin' is the one constant in Octet videos. It's awesome.

[Orlandu2607]

@monkfan72 unfortanately I couldn't see them 7 years ago, I have to see this video 7 years later, with the ladies screamin'....  but, the Octet is still amazing.

[monkfan72]

@Orlandu2607 Keep in mind that the Octet were performing for the students and just happened to be caught on camera. The concert wasn't meant to be viewed by people all these years later. Also, you don't *have* to see the video. You choose to see the video. And the ladies stop screaming well before the music starts, so maybe you can mute the video until they start singing. Just a suggestion.

[Orlandu2607]

@monkfan72 Pardon me then.

[SethMorton22]

i saw weird al in concert,

haha i love this song

[Michal950117]

Don't you think that, the lead singer in this song, is quiet similar to JB!? I said so because he is "So fuckin' sexy" lol

but this quiet Jabelish face and body shape...you know xD

[Joesphfffffff]

Yes Weird Al! This is fantastic!

[dbsinging19]

I LOVE THIS... OH MY GOODNESS.

[Paintbait]

Wierd Al ftw

[SaMyVaiS]

Jack Black minus 15kg....

[LilJerryFIN]

I was just thinking that there is something Jack Blackish in him x). Now you made me realize what was wrong, he is just too skinny but other than that, the same :)

[CatgirlAnimeFreak]

Yes!!

I'm not the only one who thinks that! XD

[indeemoose88]

@SaMyVaiS So glad someone finally noticed that he looks like jack black! He even like like him voice is even close.......I love these guys

[ameliasafuraa]

[tsimnuj777]

he does the head shake like jack black too hahahaha

[MikeElfman]

Lead guy kinda looks like Jack Black...

[gobears236]

Dude Max I just heard "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and "Too Sexy" on the new album, and your parts are AWESOME!! haha love that shit bro!! :o) Just like your part in this song- bop bop di di bop bop bop.....

[monkfan72]

Is that available to the public or a demo? My fav Max solo was "Thong Song" when he was in AiR. :D

[Flossert]

who is the album called? because i can't find it on their website... ) :

[monkfan72]

The CD is called Octopella. You'll need to contact UCCE (UC Choral Ensembles) to order the album if you aren't local.

[Flossert]

thank you! ( :

[EvieDawn]

This is one of my fav Weird Al songs and they just made it so fantastic.

[MGOBlood]

its jack black LOL

[thecurtainyvoid]

Heh. I totally see it.

[monkfan72]

The first 30 seconds is pure Octet Luv from the audience. The rest of the video is luv from the Octet...I swear I'm so close to STARTING A FAN CLUB!

[malcoth]

If you do, tell me. I might join you.

[loveylonnie]

Me too. I Flove this group.

[BestestBuddys]

WEIRD AL!!!

[monkfan72]

WHERE?!?!

[BestestBuddys]

its his song...

[MortalEnemie]

Twist ending!

[monkfan72]

I imagince they're thinking "BURN!" as they're doing the 'jazz hands' bit at the end. LOL. + Great choreo and tight vocals for a wierd al song. The only one I liked better (by this octet) is Paperback Writer.

[onzanokooya]

Oh man...

Can't tell you how long I've been waiting for an acapella group to do this "Weird Al" song...

Now if they would just do the acaplla version of "Spider Pig" I can die happy.

[kermithegg]

octet.. and there's 7 of them.. :s

[monkfan72]

The group is called the Octet no matter how many members are in it (and that changes from semester to semester). Generally there are 8, but sometimes there are seven, and I've heard sometimes there are nine.

[EAUS1]

Why dont you.. you know, give wierd al credit?

[SHdrummerguy08]

It was most likely in the program

[mysockpuppet]

and if you watch their nirvana medley, jim carrey too!

[leannana]

he even sounds like him lol XD

[dmitriwillguard]

Props to whoever did the "yip yap yippy yap-yap" after the red hot cactus line. Nailed it!

[Thilath]

this is a fantastic cover <3 this song was MEANT to be ferformed like this!

also I lol every time, in the beginning, where it's all -feminine cheering and screaming- then it;s all -man voice- YEAH BOYS

[dmitriwillguard]

They actually do it justice. I'm amazed...I honestly wasn't sure what to expect.

Now let's hear a cover of "One More Minute!"

[Kriegsmeister]

wow a Weird Al Yankovic cover, excellent!

[kia1cRiSs]

ah...no it's not him..:))

[kia1cRiSs]

i thought that too..he really looks like him.. they are great

[GOpack2008]

first guy jack blackish?

[rammsteinman01]

i thought the exact same thing. he makes me think of Tenacious D every time. lol.

[Kratha]

he have the same grin on his face :)

[samfrikinrocks]

for a second i thought it was, then i thought, naw, that couldnt be. But they have freakishly similar facial features. He's amazing, i love them both.

[Bidney99]

Weird Al lawlz... you guys are my heroes

[harihead2]

Great cover, guys. Love the audience reaction to this one. Nice job!

[madieliz1996]

who the heck is beating up that retard yelling oww????

hate it when idiots ruin performances.

[james0707c]

I know!!! She ruined it for me, i'd hate to be sat infront of her, these guys are great, love the solo bit at 1.37!!!

[getsurenka]

gah, that girl screaming OWW at the beginning was so freakin annoying. am i wrong? hahaha

[Mikelikes2rock]

Jack Black! nah, lol. You should've made an attempt to hit the high notes at least the very last time.

[RuckBodgers]

hard to hear, but the guy front left hits it just fine - it's not the lead's note in the first place

[Mikelikes2rock]

That's not the high note I was talking about. The guy on the left hit the last note fine. I was talking about "Well it feels as if I stuck my hand...."

Just listen to the original version and you'll understand what I'm talking about. It IS the lead's part.

[RuckBodgers]

oh, well you said "very last time," so I hope you can understand my confusion

[Mikelikes2rock]

I understand. I should've been more clear.

[TheOriginalItchyman]

Yes, I agree.. Especially seeing that THEY'RE FROM BERKLEY.

[lindaaaaful]

when i first read the title i thought it was going to be since you've been gone by kelly clarkson. haha

[Freakgrl04]

This song Rocks!  Weird Al is awesome!

[wyttiger]

the soloist reminds me of Jack Black for some reason...:D you guys are amazing!!!

[marktremontirules1]

At first I thought it was going to be Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone." Who knew it would be one of my favorite songs by the legendary Weird Al Yankovic!!! That was awesome by the way!
