Asleep In The Deep - Performed by Thurl Ravenscroft

[WildBillCox13]

Wow. Thurl, great work, man. I remembered this song from when I was a lad and found it here on YouTube 50 years later. So sweet. Thanks, MTStingray, for posting this classic!

[MTStingray]

@WildBillCox13 My pleasure. Your original songs are quite impressive themselves!

[Christopher3772]

My favorite voice actor next to Dan Green, he is also one of my inspirations. I have an average deep voice, but I tip my hat to this man, for he makes me sound like a child.

[MrVideoRater1]

Wow, listening to this a chill ran right down my spine.

[alika207]

I'm settling the debate. I have perfect pitch too, and that final A did start off as a Bb and then he probably realized he wasn't quite on it. But oh my gosh! This is beautiful!

[BigDuckKetterer]

TenStarsplus!!! I used to have a voice that deep until I had surgery for throat cancer caused by smoking!!! Now I can talk but no longer can sing at the occtavist level I used to!!! DON'T SMOKE!!! Thanx for posting!!!

[obarlao]

I wish I knew how to vocal fry.

[AstroidMan84]

Your move Mr. Zonday :)

[KirasNote22]

I'll always miss you Thurl Ravenscroft <3

[budleygirl]

My friend can sing lower than this guy.

[KirasNote22]

@budleygirl Congrats, want a cookie?

Though I would like to hear if anyone could sing this song at a lower key. Could you get him to sing this?

Then post it on youtube and share the link here ;)

[Horicert]

This guy has a bottomless voice!

[RBlair69]

You know how the bass makes the speakers shake? I put this on my headphones and it made ME shake!

[Jcolinsol]

While Klaus Nomi looks on in utter disdain.

[benny42000]

@Jcolinsol Haha.... Nice! 

[TomBarrister]

For the record, that last note is supposed to be A1, which is seven half-tones below the bottom of the standard bass (singer's) register.

Mr. Ravenscroft, voice of Tony the Tiger for almost 50 years, was also a member of the Mellomen, which sang the theme songs for the Warner Brothers westerns (e.g. Maverick, Cheyenne). Mr. Ravenscroft also did much work for Disney, and you an hear his voice as many characters at any of the Disney Worlds.

[TheTrueOregon]

I can hit all of the notes except the last one... Epic voice!

[iLoveTyrande]

He is also the singing voice of Shere Khan ?! I know Sander is the voice.

[WormYourHonor64]

@iLoveTyrande no, Sanders sang the low C too. Pretty cool, huh?

[preswiz]

Ravenscroft wasn't just good; he was grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

[stevevandien]

Now THIS is a true bass. RIP, Thurl:) -

[SunMoonFamilyGuy]

He's the voice for Tony the Tiger and The Haunted Mansion. That is one wanted voice

[Gidenkidenk]

wow, none of you have been to a Russian church

[spikemoe1]

The glottal fry of the very last syllable—"ware" from the last "beware"—haunted me and will do so for the rest of my life. Not to say that is a bad thing. More than anyone else, I want to sound like Thurl Ravenscroft when I grow up, but I probably will not. Oh, well.

[spikemoe1]

That definitely was an A2. A mere octave higher than the lowest possible note!

[Gidenkidenk]

@spikemoe1 its vocal fry

[dabeinman]

@spikemoe1 That was actually an A1. And there is no lowest possible note, really. Well there is, and that is 1 hert, but that is way below any human can get.

[hondarideralex]

yup that is a low A.

[drumrdude707]

definitely low A...holy brown notes, batman.

[rachel293]

he has such a fantastic voice =DD

[RossiniSoprano]

That was a Bb below LOW C! And not that breathy sound that some guys sing and try to tell you that they have the note, but a real note!

[ejamieson765]

its a low A btw.

[RossiniSoprano]

I checked it on an in-tune piano, and it's actually between a Bb and an A....too sharp to really be an A, and too flat for a Bb.

[ejamieson765]

not to be an ass but me my dad and my older brother have perfect pitch and im pretty positive thats an A, and im a high tenor so im pretty familiar with that note.

[Ironsouled]

@RossiniSoprano

Don't you just love quartertones? And my tuner read it as an A, but my other one reads it as a b flat... rather stuck, what?

[Danerage]

@Ironsouled Old comment, I know, but it starts off as a Bb and lowers to A1.

[Ironsouled]

@Danerage That would explain it.

[Taenyr]

@Danerage Really? Because I checked with a ptich-pipe, and he definitely starts in the key of A major.

[hobgoblinlkjfdsa]

that was grrrrreat!

[SonyaYeung]

omaigawd. thats a deep voice.

[QuiteRomantic]

I'm fuckin impressed O_O that's a deeeep voice!

I can't say how awesome i found it xD

Yeah, yeah thanks to Mikey Way for spending hours on youtube... but thanks to you man for putting this up!! Really enjoyed.

[vonnie944]

I like this song alot!!!!!!Do you realy play the tuba?b/c I realy wish I could play the tube!

[MTStingray]

Yup, I play the tuba.

[plague77477]

I would have to disagree. If we didn't have music in the past it does NOT mean music could have probably never been invented. That is a simple belief that I think is totally wrong.

If it wasn't invented in the past, sooner or later it had to be. If computers weren't invented in the 1800s, it didn't mean they would never be. Same for everything new being created. And if it's not here now, it will be sooner or later. New discoveries are being made all the time. It's a matter of time and waiting.

[MTStingray]

Okay, think of it like this:

1: I made the video on a day I was lazy. The result: poor choice of words.

2: There is a way I can make my statement in the video a factual one: Everything becomes part of the past eventually. So in truth, if music hasn't been created, it could both be created in the future, and will become the past. So what I said was true, from a certain point of view.

[plague77477]

I can somewhat see what you mean. Everything that will happen in the future will also happen in the past... meaning it will be looked at as if it is part of the past, which it will be in years to come.

But what your video implied was basically that if it didn't happen in the 1950s, it would never happen... something like that.

You said you used poor word choice, which is understandable. I do that too sometimes, then days later when I revise I'd be wondering why I didn't write it differently

[MTStingray]

I would revise it... IF I still possessed the song. Lost it when I got a new computer : (

[popsiclehead70]

hahaha, thats a good way of putting it. im so saying that from now on!

[mychemotherapy]

whoa i tried to sing like him and three things happened at the same time. an earthquake occured and my sister screamed and i lost my voice. kidding.

[kaitelinHale18]

wow! this is so creepy thank you mikey! And thanks guy who posted this,you must feel great!

[MTStingray]

Like you wouldn't believe.

[fangirl0488]

Oh my gosh i love this dude he has done every movie from my child hood. Thank you for posting this song MTStingray.

[MTStingray]

No problem fangirl!

[mellostinks]

Oh Mikey, a friend of yours, I suppose??

[Eloisa123Alberdi]

Oh, mikey, what the hell is this!

[MCRPATDFOBRULEZ]

OMG!

this creeps me out!

thankies Mikey!!

[TheyNamedHimThowra96]

Seriously, what the hell drives Mikey Way to search for these things?

[MTStingray]

Who the heck is this "Mikey" everyone in my comments is talking about?

[dannypfan]

He's the bassist of My Chemical Romance, he posted this video on his twitter.

[MTStingray]

I never heard of My Chemical Romance. I'll have to check that out.

[brutalpeers]

Never heard of My Chemical Romance?!?!?!Whoa;Hurry hurry go search;Lol:D

[MTStingray]

I checked out one of their songs. I went to KuklaTabataMe's (one of the people who commented on this video about 2 hours ago) channel and found a video from My Chemical Romance.

[PinkBanana2u]

O.O

This scared me so much! Oh boy...

[liziedomer]

Mikey, this is retardedly retarded...

I love it!!

This is SOOO on my favorites.

[KellyCullen0012]

thanks mikey

[americanidiotgirl]

That's INSANELY low singing! I've seen music that has voice parts for Bass III, but this is like, Bass X!

Never would have known something this low existed! Thanks Mikey! :) ;)

[MCRisSOawesome]

Odies music is cool... Pencey Prep is awesome!!! Totally respect it. I can't sing low at all! I can sing high! It takes A LOT of talent to sing low! Thanks Mikey!

[flyinglemoncentral]

WOAHHHHHHHHH that's so low! Thanks Mikey. ;D

[97Lemonlime]

mikey this is amazing lol

[14KoolKanKill]

How is it possible to sing that low? My throat hurts just thinking about it!

=D

[MikeyWayForPresident]

oh mikey :) :) :)

[limon276]

Hey, more deeper that Wilfred Glenn & Peter Dawson. My respects.

[simonsko1]

I can sing this after eating cereals with milk and lots of sugar!

[FrogCraw]

Spectacular...

[simonsko1]

I can't believe that people like this song!

[01musicfan]

I haven't heard this one before, for those who might not know, he provided the voice of Tony the Tiger for many years as well as the Grinch. His voice is deep and rich like Vaughn Monroe, thans for posting.

[Juscz]

Great rendition of a great song!... Thanks for posting this performance.

[MTStingray]

No problem!

[bluestingerborg]

Pete sang the chorus to this song in mickey's amatures.

[simonsko1]

It was also sung by Goofy in the episode Clock Cleaners!

[GospelPhil]

Chalmers Walker in Memphis TN could sing this one just about as good as this person does. I kove it!

[Bonzotam]

I love this song love to play it on my Yamaha PSR S900

[Pikminiman]

O...M...G at the last note!!!

[hugedell]

so pleasant voice, not just low but also full, a real bass singer, thank you for posting

[MTStingray]

No problem!

[pizzaparty3]

This song was used in many of Houdini's Escapes and Magic Tricks like the Milk can Ecsape

[Matthew6870]

I'm thinking about making a video of myself singing this, because I have been practicing. Plus, Ravenscroft is my idol.

[MTStingray]

Good luck!

[Matthew6870]

Thanks! I could use all the support I can get.

[tubahman66]

My friend - 10 out of ten for having the balls to do this - but your teacher should be shot !! Start by looking at other tuba players and learn to hold the instrument properly - breathing correctly is the foundation of all brass playing and unless you sit properly and hold the insrument correctly then you are sunk before you even set sail !! Then - get yourself a decent teacher and you're away !!

Keep it up friend

[MTStingray]

Thank you very much tubahman66. However, I enjoyed my teachers teachings. Why would I want to shoot him? :D. Unfortunatly, I never had other Tuba players to watch, in order to learn how to hold the instrument properly, breath correctly and sit properly. I had to teach myself most of it D: The good thing is that my middle school band teacher plays Tuba and other instruments too, so he helped. Now I'm in high school (I was in middle school when i put this video up), so I'm in marching band now.

[tubahman66]

The important thing is that you keep on playing and keep practicing (there is no substitute for that! I say your teacher should be shot because he/she has not taught you the fundamental basics of brass playing (i.e. breathing and posture) Seriously - get yourself a proper brass teacher and you could do very well. Keep it up my friend. Hman

[MTStingray]

Wait, hold up. When did I say my teacher didn't teach me the fundamental basics of playing a brass instrument? Thats a band directors job when you're at the basic level, and he did an excellent job at helping me out. Oh, want to be friends on YouTube?

[YasuTaniina]

My grandfather used to sing this song!! I always think about him when I hear this. I love it!

[MTStingray]

Nice, wish I had a grandfather to sing that.

[Jpmadore1]

Sounds like the guy who sang "Mr. Grinch" when I hear it on the oldies station.

[MTStingray]

Well, theres a reason for that. He sang it! :D

[bluestingerborg]

It is.

[matrix86]

Ah yes, the great Thurl Ravenscroft. The voice of Tony the Tiger and the many voices of Disney Land (including Grim Grinning Ghost from the the Haunted Mansion. Gotta love him.

[2wingo]

Harry Houdini would have this song played while he was escaping from his famous "Sealed Milk-Can."

[MTStingray]

yeah, lol

[2wingo]

I totally agree. I love all forms of music (not rap, because rap is not music. It is freeform poetry that performed TO music).

[MTStingray]

So true!

[IceMasterEasthamJazz]

All but the last notes are really clean.

[MTStingray]

yeah

[oklahomorose]

I love this song--I can only sing it when I have laryngitis :)

[MTStingray]

lol!

[aeiouandytoo2]

i can sing it when i blow out my high register from screaming or in the morning lol

[ShangoJamal]

All my hair just fell out!

[MTStingray]

erm... okay, lol.

[tl52]

wasn't he the voice of tony the tiger? ggrrrrrreeeat

[MTStingray]

he sure did!

[OperaBaritoneJoe]

only when I listen to true basses is when I feel

like my voice type is high.

[MTStingray]

lol.

[michaelwalsh1234]

LEGEND

[falonhawk]

lol nice mt

[MTStingray]

yeah, its a good song... especially if you play the song like me and Ethan1392 did.

[SamEyde]

What's that last note? A low F (F1)?

[jowox]

A1. great resonant bass singing!

[SamEyde]

I agree. Its impressively resonant. ;-)

[duffxdotcom]

He also sang, "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!" Good stuff.

[MTStingray]

indeed.

[EliteUBH]

Thanks for sharing Stingray, I enjoyed it!

[MTStingray]

your most certainly welcome. Can you believe he did the voice for Tony the Tiger? Amazing.

[Ethan1392]

This guy is a great singer. I did a little research on this guy and he sang a bunch of songs for Disney and voiced Tony the Tiger for the Frosted Flakes Commercials. Thanks for this video!

[MTStingray]

Your welcome! I had no idea he did that much. Tony the Tiger? Man, I should do some research of my own, lol.
