  • WHOA. This is really, really good! I love it :)

    Anyone know where I can get the sheet music to this arrangement?

  • If you guys come sing this at a show I'm doing, I'll tell you what a vagina feels like

  • this is so awesome <3

  • This is the best, the most energetic, the most inspiring a capella version of this song on the web. I could watch it endlessly. The clapping, especially, is brilliant.

  • NERTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • Better then glee.

  • This song was originally sung by the Postal Service (can't argue with Wikipedia!) and the claps are actually true to that version and sound much better live (as does the whole group!) As one of the soloists, speaking five years later, thanks to you all for your gracious compliments, friendly critiques and support! With regards to the clapping and dancing...what you don't see is an over-capacity audience filled with clapping and dancing people too! So much fun! Many thanks and keep listening!!!

  • @MegaMullane omg omg omg you're one of the soloists? Your voice makes my pants melt. Off. I hope you're not that funny lookin' one on the left.

  • @PopeBarnesicus i only wish i was the one on the left! that soloist...gosh what was his name...barnes something, or something barnesicus...anyhow I listened to his voice and I thought my pants melted off, but it was actually my whole leg! woopsie, no leg now, but worth it.

  • Great job, guys! And, I like the clapping, too.

  • So good. The clapping.. is gross.

  • @LoveTikii i love the clapping...

  • Really? =/ I think it's kinda out of place.

  • These guys are great fun - time to get somebody just as talented recording these things off the board, and more mikes.

    Great Stuff!!!

  • greeeeat!!!

    i want the written parts!!!

    if I may..

    =P

  • Best version I've ever heard.

  • Exceptional.

  • you guys are so cute ^.^

  • This is a pretty awesome version.

  • he's jewish.

    that's a yamaka.

  • It's a tonsure--the concert involved some skits and necessitated a monk costume.

  • i think he's bald with some sort of headband

  • @GVilleAnarcho

    yes that is a yamaka.

  • @funun2 Yarmulke?

  • @funun2 It is a tonsure--a medieval haircut for monks.

  • Awesome job, and bonus points for doing Postal Service! ;-)

  • lol, i thought i was the only 1 who realized tht there was the clapping in the song....lol i do it in the car and my friends look at me wierd....im like hello dnt u hear it.....well u guys do, n thts all tht matters....

  • this is awesome!!! gREAT job guys!!!

  • this is awesome!

  • i love the clapping!!! and teh voices of course!

  • i enjoyed this a lot

    haha

  • ohhhh.... they're such a cute!

  • aaaah. too bad it hangs in the middle. you're fun to see.

  • I am very curious about this song. I have heard it done by Iron and Wine, and it is so soft and delicate, and here it just seems so loud. It wasn't bad though, just different than what I am used to. I agree about the clapping. It's good to see that they are having fun.

  • The Iron and Wine version is actually a cover- the original song is performed by Postal Service, it's much more upbeat. Check it out, you might like it!

  • @tarheelnell - actually i'm pretty positive it is postal service who covered iron and wine. but i do like postal services version more.

  • saaaaaaaweeeeeet!

  • quirky

  • What does all of their annoying movements have to do with the song? They kind of ruin it.

  • Comment removed

  • lol! this is awesome

    i love the end XD good job

  • haha i lovedd this

  • i love watching the guys in the middle! =] this is an amazing performance! seriously!! =D

  • Okay, somma you people are reeeally hard to please.  This was fucking BRILLIANT!!!

  • GenericUser's comment brings his overall appearance down. :)

    I really liked the choreography and clapping. Fun and nice performance!

  • this is good I also like MIT's version

  • Very nice :9 But the clapping and choreography is annoying and really brings the overall performance down.

  • haha you're cute :)

  • best one here! and most entertaining lmao!

  • Amazing, but the freaking clapping is annoying as hell. I want to hear the background guys but the clapping totally destroys it.

  • Thank you.

  • If you listen to the song, there is a beat in the background.

    That's what they are clapping.

  • haha i think i'm gonna marry one of these guys. nice.

  • it sucks you guys had to be weird with the "choreography" because it's really the only good vocal acapella of this on here, but it really ruins the performance to see two soloists being idiots.

  • they were having a good time, stop being such a critic and a prick.

    thanks

  • this is fantastic!!!

  • They're freaking awesome, but seriously LOSE the clapping! So distracting!

  • i love this!! have been looping it since so long!!!

  • Wow! I saw so many bad covers of this, but this one is so good! This group has lots of energy and makes the show not only good to listen to, but great to watch also. I'm glad they paid attention to the clapping and the little sound effects, too. It makes me so happy! :D

  • this is really good nice voice

  • i COMPLETELY agree with the comment below me. the ONLY good video. this ones better than their full performance video one, too. the claps totally makes it sound better. awesome touch dudes

  • There are SO many bad versions of a capella groups covering this song... and now there's FINALLY a good one. Awesome job. Much style.

  • sweet, everything is great. the song needs the movement and claps when sung a capella. the two lead men sing really well too.

    !

  • Absloutely awsome! I LOVE the song and LOVED you guys. Go Postal Service! :D My favorite song and band, and you did it great justice.

    I have a Postal Service cover up on my channel, if you'd like to take a look then... do! x

  • I can't help myself. I like it.

  • nice use of language you illiterate monkey.

  • The clapping was never meant to be that loud... it's just that the audience had all learned the clapping part so we had dozens of people clapping instead of just two!

  • the energy in this is awesome. pretty.

  • love the guys <3

  • better with out the claps
