14-year-old plays 'Star Wars A Cappella' on marimba (John Williams Is The Man Tribute)

[lstnedn]

I played marimba in high school. I loved it, after watching this I realized I reapply miss it. Its really fun. Thanks for sharing.

[Gargoyleswife]

Okay, I watched this one & the Original Vid together,and, may I say, IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRY IT! it's awesome.

[zhonnajenna]

we played Fanfare From ET in marching band this year! :D

[92monokuroboo]

It sounds very Caribbean :D I love it!

[thisguy41487]

TROLL: A Capella - music is specifically solo or group singing without instrumental sound, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. It is the opposite of cantata, which is accompanied singing.

[IAmACheerleader4Life]

this is soo cool

[Jhill6473]

Beginning and end is indiana jones

[saphire101100]

my three favorite things! Marimbas, John Williams's music, and Star Wars!

[spocamania]

How do you get access to these instruments!?!

[vamplord1994]

1:22 is Superman theme??

[pirke1965]

[TheDarthB]

before everyone keeps saying not star wars or indiana jones watch this

/watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4

[MrTijutiju]

That's not only 'Star Wars' ...

[dathkenny]

3:07 is Jurrassic Park !

[zhoglo]

Indiana! Not a Star Wars

[BadManTaliban]

it's so tropical lol

[CommanderTipsy]

I love the Jurassic Park theme, its delicious

[metaldawg15]

I loved it i only missed the wokee screams at the jaws thing

[Yonsucker]

How comes that there are people watching this and not having watched "John Williams Is The Man", if you havent then please go watch it, it is really good and it is called Star Wars because of the lyrics in the original.

[MrMetalheadtildeath]

ok indiana jones, superman, jaws, jurassic park, and indiana jones again. still a great cover XD

[Milkmanbag]

It's John william's you guys they just put star wars in the title. if you already knew this Thumbs up.

[batistr]

best star wars cover i have heard.... XD

[jumpstarttime]

it'd be awesome if youhad music for this...

[Maikel2play]

That's Me!

[Maximilian9994]

@Maikel2play you are great :D

[mit7652]

@Maikel2play THAT FUCKING AMAZING

[LIGHTRONIX]

look in the related videos and the title will make sense

[sillybear1999]

it doesnt sound like star wars but i wouldnt know

[duVillage]

He lives in The Netherlands, but NOT in Holland. Holland is the name of two provinces.

[450lalas]

viva starwars

[450lalas]

lo mejor

[yhjklas]

a mi no me engañas.. tú tienes como 20 años

a ver cómo sales de esa, grandote......

[MrGamingDrummer]

damn it mustve been a bitch to get the rolls clean between the takes.. props man

[vanger23]

its amazing, but... thats indiana jone right?

[93tiny08]

SERIOUSLY?!?!?! does nobody read the descriptions?!!?!! Its a tribute to john williams from a channel called Moosebutter. Corey Vidal covered it and it was called a star wars a cappella. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL JOHN WILLIAMS' MUSIC BUT HAD LYRICS ABOUT STAR WARS!!!!!

[uncknow19]

it's more indiana than star wars

[tidus259]

WTF men !!!!!! i think i've heard indiana jones, superman, jurassic park and other but where is the "star wars a cappella" nowhere ... i think ... at least i switch indina jones and star wars .... i don't think so!

[DerDickeOlle]

@tidus259

You probably don't know what this is a tribute to. I recommend you to look for "star wars a cappella" or "John Williams Is The Man" and watch the actual "a cappella" version. This should also help you to recognise the "star wars theme" behind it.

[pmspoousername]

Amazing! Love it! Do you have sheet music for that song or did you just learn it from youtube or something?

[xDZELLDx]

indiana jones?

[MrPoppy32]

@xDZELLDx the words to this song have nothing to do with indiana jones

[7Rockeros7]

@xDZELLDx haha so true

[MrXxgreendayxX]

@xDZELLDx it a spoof of satr wars using other song made by john williams

[allisyagami1122]

@xDZELLDx It's not really a Star Wars based video, it's more John Williams based.  Still good though.

[MJJRIP100]

This is so amazing! Make more videos!

[11hettie]

@MJJRIP100 there are some more ! maikel2play

[wilsonmaster973]

@Rafsterlol So then you correct your spelling of Indiana, but spell Jones wrong? Nice....

[wilsonmaster973]

@Rafsterlol (continued)

who insist on making sure everyone out there understands that they don't have a firm grasp of the English language, but still want to attempt to insult others using their infantile thoughts and ideas.

6.) Fairly certain everybody out there who is watching this video understand that a capella involves only vocals or sounds originating in the mouth, but thanks for trying to help.

7.) If you don't have anything better to do than hate on other peoples talent, get a life.

:)

[wilsonmaster973]

@Rafsterlol (continued)

and the title of the original tribute is included to clarify that he isn't stealing the idea or claiming responsibility, simply doing a different version of the same tunes on a marimba.

4.) Did you intend to reference male genitalia instead of saying doing? I mean, I understand that dongs may be on your mind a great deal more often than is healthy, but include us out of your fantasies, alright?

5.) When you said your instead of you're, you became of a long list of fools

[wilsonmaster973]

@Rafsterlol I was going to restrain myself from pointing out your lack of intelligence, but seeing as everyone has already thrown in their two cents-worth, I shall include myself in their ranks.

In your post, there are several "fails."

1.) Indiana Jones is spelled with two i's not a y, knucklehead.

2.) The theme from Indiana Jones happens to only be one of the many John Williams songs that are included in this medley.

3.) In the title it specifically states that the song is done with a marimba

[NikaziO14]

The title is correct shut up and listen

[NikaziO14]

@Rafsterlol it says 14-year-old plays 'Star Wars A Cappella' notice the quotation marks... it means this is a cover of the song called "Star Wars A Cappella" it's star wars because the original lyrics are about Star Wars, and it's not only the melody of indyana jones, you can also hear the songs from Jaws, Superman, Jurassic Park and ET for example

[KaiPendragon]

@KaiPendragon oh, and those who say its the indiana jones theme, it's a medly of alot of John Williams movie theme, go find the original video

[crashmegabandicoot]

very goood that fail this is the indiana jones song

[reverendman5on]

Video= WIN

Title= FAIL

[embrezar]

Would it be better or worse if Mr. Vidal sang on top of this? I think they should try and let us hear it.

[devio02]

awesome. i could remember all the movies throu your play:o

[IAMmrhardcore]

people are such dumbasses, if you do not understand why this is the star wars theme watch the original video, he sings star wars based lyrics to these songs composed by John Williams and they are not all just Indiana jones.

[nicerush]

FUCKING AWESOME! :D

[FemaleTubas]

People, it's a bunch of John Williams songs like Indiana Jones, Super Man, Star Wars, Jaws, and Jurassic Park. Amazing how I know so much.

[DesheDanDuvdevan]

Yes. But there was no part that you played Star Wars. I don't understand.

[tyetnic]

I'm not sure saying that he is a 14 year old makes a difference.

[requejo30]

indiana jones !!!!

[jdcesk360]

that's indy jones man lmfao FAIL HARDSTYLE im a star wars man i know all themes

[ANEpting000]

That's Indiana jones dumbshit! I was raised on star wars I would know

[drumz420]

[xTheAmeturex]

the title could have been: 14 year old plays theme songs for Stephen Spielberg movies

[YINGAI1995]

this is Indiana Jones not Star wars

[hotrodrolfe]

@Bobbert19935 Its Indiana Jones, E.T., Jaws, Jurassic Park. It's a compilation of the music done by John Williams and the words to the song are based on star wars. Look up the moosebutter: Star Wars version to hear the words.

[vfedericox]

@therckr123 actually youtube starwars a cappella, its a marimba version of it

[jackyheretictv]

The first tones remind me of the tones that the aliens produced in Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

[BlueSmoothie4Eva]

WWWWWOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW

[iPhoneSAccount]

still gutted about not hearing an epic star wars theme tune

[hoboactor835]

To every idiot saying the title is fucked up, Star Wars A Cappella is a song sung by MooseButter. This Child is playing the song on the Marimba. Now look at the video and shut the fuck up.

[gengis95]

I love the end with the second part of the Indiana Jones theme song :p Incredible work ! I think that your videos need to be more view

[MossWolf4]

121 people are tards who dont notice the skills and awesomeness in this video that probably took a lot of effort :)

[MrNilsGuitar]

@theonegreat2001 well actually it is a instrumental cover of an a capella song. only the lyrics had sth to do with star wars... ^^ and an instrumental cover doesn't contain much lyrics right? ^^

i thinks that the original: /watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4&feature=f­vwrel

[laxplyr1982]

@TheaterGeek7777776 prove it

[Stupidgut6]

Beautiful.

[PiterburgCowboy]

completly wrong title, correct would be "14-yr old boy playing John Williams' movie themes on xlyophone" which would be Indiana jones, jaws, E.T and so on... anyway well done by the boy! talented dude. C'mon you know what a xlyophone is...

[LightningDragon1999]

@PiterburgCowboy Actually it's a marimba and it's based off Moosebutter's a Capella "John Williams is the man"

[PiterburgCowboy]

@LightningDragon1999 oh, right marimba. It's right in the title :) For me it just looks like a giant xlyophone. Istn't the way to play on it the same?

[LkVOIDREALM]

@PiterburgCowboy Yes but the marimba has foot pedals for reverberation

[steppere97]

@LkVOIDREALM uhm...no, that's the vibraphone ;)

[Seventy4days]

whyy is this so awesome >.<!

[CorpusMortem666]

so actually theres not one theme from star wars (all different kind of films but not star wars -.-') and in fact its not even a cappella (a cappella comes from the latin language and means something like "just voice") because in my eyes a marimba is an instrument and so it is not just voice..... so sry i dont get it why it is namend like this

[mprimecoleman]

Whoa. You memorized all four parts??? wow...

[dogtail1011]

@theonegreat2001 hah the words to the song are all starwars related :3

[pacslife4live]

wasn rotz,4 weitere minuten meines lebens verschwendet -.-

[55azelf]

I love this <3

[snyderman64]

ook i heard everything but star wars 

[linkphan123]

@snyderman64 You'd have to listen to the John Williams Is the Man video that ApprenticeA did. He sang to these songs lyrics ABOUT Star War

[cocopops149]

@linkphan123 No! He LIPSYNCED the music of moosebutter about star wars

[linkphan123]

@cocopops149 Oh, yeah, lypsynced. What I was getting at was you wouldn't get THIS if you didn't watch that or the hve heard the Moosebutter song. :U

[FrischluftMetaler]

haha great!

[The64bitglasses]

Do an Ocarina version

[MegaSaxDudeMan]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!

[Paradotec]

The title does not matter... who gives a shit right? it sounds amazing and that is all that matters:)

[ingion1]

@Paradotec

No thats not true.what matters really is that darth vader holds a pina colada

[Stoke3847]

jurassic part sounded so tropical :) whens the concert?

[cedarsgnome]

@68E68

Its a reference to another video, a song done by Moosebutter in which they sing a Capella a bunch of star wars references to the tune of several other John Williams compositions. This person just played the 4 parts on marimba. I encourge you to look up Star Wars A Capella to see the original video.

[PhearMonkey666]

Sounds so glorious!

[Fredinkins]

Sounds exotic

[68E68]

This video is so contradictory to it's title. For one, THERE'S NO STAR WARS, and two, A CAPELLA MEANS IT HAS NO INSTRUMENTS

[KelleesDomain]

@68E68 Not necessarily, acapella just means that there is no backup instrumentals.

[68E68]

@KelleesDomain Acapella - A cappella (Italian for From the chapel/choir) music is group vocal music or singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way.

[PalmsThirteen]

Check out my cover of Magic by BOB in the same style! mines worse, but still!

[L337N1NJ4L1NK]

Umm... A Cappella is all vocal you know...

[jbichardable]

love this

[OmgItzMillerTime]

i think the top left is the best ;)

[longtallemm]

Wow. That's like amazing!! :)

[xXSaviorOfTheDarkXx]

My hand bells choir played this peice, it's just a medly of John Whilliam's famous compositions. Sounds pritty epic with about 18 bells :)

[MsJC303]

Wow, Jaws on the marimba is surprisingly ominous...

[Johnosssss]

John Williams must be so proud :)

[JelLoSnArK]

For all of you who are bitching about no Star Wars, try watching the original, which has the lyrics. It's a song, not really meant to be played on an instrument.

[hurtank]

Just FYI for the people who are complaining about the lack of starwars, The original accapella tribute to john williams Was made by Coreyvidel or Flight of the conchords, You can watch the original on youtube. The lyrics were all about starwars with his music from other films.

[mattwatson1989]

lets look at the track record here... a capella is the antithesis of whats actually going on, and i heard no star wars.. sooo.. is it safe to assume he's not a 14 yr old boy, but a 30 yr old man?

[BNGMaster1]

wheres the star wars!!!

[wideheadofknowledge]

John Williams should be given some kind of award.

[EizoAlditory]

cool man



[jrstoob120]

Crap, now I want to learn how to play the Marimba

[Cman14222]

Too legit!

[Mrjameswebb12345]

shadowpunk stfu no one wants to hear ur byist comments :S epic song though



[pearsauce]

Awesomesauce :>



[thestraderfamily]

I fail to see the Star Wars. Thus this video is a fail.

[EpicAthiest]

@thestraderfamily

Starwars acapella is merely the name of a music piece. He carries the tune of the piece on his instrument, but not the words (which is where the starwars is).

Watch the origional and you'll see what I mean.

[chipojo2008]

Play this at the same time as John's version and you got yourself a raw ass melody =D

[arka67]

113 people are death... !

[thevidmounstro]

But in the acappella version that is sung, the words are all about star wars. therefore, star wars medley with other john williams music.

[The7thSoldierX]

Haha i sang my own acapella to this :D This kid has so much talent, very well done! :)

[italianbeatle25]

That was amazing, I enjoyed every bit of it

[shadowpunk666]

i dont realy like the sound of these instrument

[TheKoreanX]

@shadowpunk666 Are you fucking kidding me? it's a marimba, for God's sake. One of the greatest instruments knows to man.

[shadowpunk666]

@TheKoreanX Are you fucking unable to accept an opinion which is not equal to yours?!

[TheKoreanX]

@shadowpunk666 Not liking the marimba just means that you are not developed enough to appreciate it. I'm sure it will come in time, but at the same time it probably won't.

[shadowpunk666]

@TheKoreanX Not liking a marimba just means that there are different tastes existing side by side!

And I hope it will come the time when you are able to realize that .

[TheKoreanX]

@shadowpunk666 I do fully realize that, but there are certainly some tastes that are not tasteful.

[shadowpunk666]

@TheKoreanX Who decides which taste is tasteful?! You?! who are you? God?! Fu** you!

[TheKoreanX]

@shadowpunk666 I used to think the same way you do... Then I realized how much better having an open mind is. Just saying.

[slimeboy3]

Only one problem..... YOU FORGOT TO SWITCH TEE SHIRTS!!! I'm so disappointed :/

[RydiCrepsley]

You guys are saying that it's Indiana Jones, Superman, E.T, Jaws etc. etc. but can't you read the title? It says clearly Star Wars A Capella (John Williams Is The Man Tribute) which is a video made by youtube user ApprenticeA‬‏.

So shut up! This is GREAT! :)

[FireflyIsland]

WOOHOO!! HOLLAND!!

[MrBwcooke]

there are 112 gayish mcwhitey honkey crackers out there that pay old men to blow them

[eralamoftython]

Like Moosebutter much :D

@theonegreat2001 thank goodness someone knew the first melody lol
