[loveismydestruction]

this is a BALETT not a madrigal! i love them, but the differenting factor is the fa-la refrain!

[pianoman116]

@loveismydestruction this is absolutely a madrigal...its in the Oxford book of Madrigals...also as a music major...I have only heard this song as being a madrigal.

[boabsterlang]

@loveismydestruction a ballett is a madrigal btw: there are three types you have the madrigal propre, the ayre and the ballett so it is a madrigal

quite catchy tho :P

[loveismydestruction]

@boabsterlang thank you for clearing that up for me

[micinski13]

Oh. they sound way better than we do. *Sigh* go sterday... Ah well, face the future with courage. (:

[ethalinia]

We tried to sing this in choir a few years ago...this song is sick, haha, it's superhard! but when it's sung right, it's so beautiful, like you all can hear :D

[clol159]

wow...i'm playing this on piano for grade 3

its really good sung! but very confusing...wow very good though!

[LuvDaPre]

Can't be sung better ! Absolutely brilliant .

[Kinger87]

It's very hard to sing, but extremely rewarding when the entire choir finally clicks. :D

[ThunderFarts420]

hail to the vanguard of western civilization!

super awesome!

[cinestar2]

xD the way the guy turns into the camera in the beginning!! too funny

[SUNSNARE06]

it isnt awful, its beautiful and challenging and if you dont appreciate it, you dont understand the history of choral music

[KathleensVideo]

LOL!!! Wonderful month of Maying!!! The singing is perfect and the video -- so funny and true. It is a Madrigal Magical Mystery Tour.

[ElisabethSparrow]

has anyone noticed that "Madrigal History Tour" sounds a lot like "Magical Mystery Tour" (The Beatles)? Haven't bothered to check the earlier comments, just struck me.

[ged424]

That's where they got the title from.

[avgmovie]

Monty Python and the Holy Grai

[tombstonetom]

This is like a Monty Python skit.

[huggylove1]

ha ha! sum legend!

[cooldocmom]

OK the video is a little dorky, but what singing!

[ThunderFarts420]

British humour is crooked like their teeth :B

enjoy the music lads! argue over manchester united !!!

[Sylverling]

Actually, they don't. There's a difference between "verb" and "predicate". Plus, not even linguists agree on what really is and isn't a sentence.

In spite of which the King's Singer still rule.

[sherbetstraw]

wow this is good. perfectly blended voices but the parts are distinct at the same time

[synballein70]

Grandissimi i King's Singers,interpreti perfetti di un eccezionale Thomas Morley :grandioso madrigale spensierato!!!

[ThunderFarts420]

hail to the vanguard of western civilization!

super awesome!

[bsartist]

Wow is that gay...in both traditional and modern senses.

[artemaestro]

Semplicemente incantevole! Un plauso ai mitici King's Singers per il loro contributo alla cultura musicale e artistica!!!

[Audiolink]

AAARGH!!! MORRIS DANCERS DIE!!!!! lol

[rametep100]

[crazygrainger2006]

When my music history teacher introduced this Madrigal to my class, all of us couldn't keep a straight face.

And now I'm doing an essay about this Madrigal (as part of my assignment).

[grandplans]
