Chili Con Carne - The Real Group

[JoeKnowsBest3000]

dont forget the mexican spicccees

[weatherella]

Sorry to disappoint: Not sure where this was found... But this is actually a recording of the Mansfieldians (Mansfield University, PA) singing the original RG arrangement from December 2004.

There were twelve singers, two mics, and one take. Hope you enjoy this (collegiate) recording!

[BrookeBeckerMusic13]

My choir is singing this song this year...this song is insanely hard... :/

[Woodwindist]

Love the song. Sang it in jazz choir a long time ago. This version wasn't all that great. Some of the harmonies just weren't happening. The balance between the vocalists was a little off. I'm going to try to find another version that does more justice to the song.

[Callope1126]

my choir had to sing this song. i loved it

[getwithit13]

I'm in my school's vocal jazz group, we're singing this, not only is it the hardest song we have to learn, I'm a soprano. So it's like one giant tongue twister.

[getwithit13]

@QKagome101 yeah! it's reallyyy hard to learn! so many voices. we're singing it in my vocal jazz group.

[aerocker41]

We are singing this in my chior class :)

[TheMdouglas1234]

ba ra chi ki, ba ra chi ki, ba ra chi ki, ba ra chi ki.... Doon, doon, doon, do do doon, doon, doon, doon, do do doon, take some fresh and ripe tomatoes.... ahahaha I was the alto :) ... at my school.

[freakenninjakrystal]

this song was hard to learn! but it paid off in our jazz choir competitions!

[EmblaG97]

@QKagome101 I do it now, in a childen operachoir x) It's hard, but not TO hard!! But...yeah....I think we can call us elite :P ;)

[Dorakichi1220]

I like this song. But it is difficult for me.

[sherly85]

wapa-ts-kong-ko-chiki-bara-ts-­ko-kong, if I remember right... gosh

[mikaylajanex]

@QKagome101 I know what you mean :)

[flowerlullaby]

6 people forgot the Mexican spices!

[xxChiChiLeeLoxx]

we were about to sing this last year. we all hated it, so we changed the song. haha :)

[chaosisgreen77]

HATE SINGING BASS PART

[creeperinabag]

you cant complain at all until you have tried the bass part! its the hardest part. The slowest part for us is the fastest part for every other group

[mirmanerd101]

i was a soprano singing this song at a choral festival and our director made it too fast....it was TERRIBLE!!! barachikibarachikibarachiki...­.you get really tongue tied after a while.

[ElphietheGreenGirl]

our choraliers is about to attempted this for our spring concert. im excited to be a soprano.

barachica. lmao.

[WitchBitch00]

I sing in a choir that is currently! Thats okey :)

[sgreilly]

lame.

[BeccaT572]

i have to say, this song got annoying when we did it... lol its good, but everyday, i got annoyed..

[MidniteBlackoutFilms]

We sang this for District Chorus in my senior year of high school.

[meganshowrocks]

We have to sing this song in choir!!!!!!!!!

[jmwinterblume]

but don`t forget, don`t forget the mexican spices! do doo n dai dap!

AHA THATS GOOD!!!!!!

[ewing33nk]

칠리콩까네 칠리콩까네

콩까지마 ㅠㅠ

[Musicnoteboy88]

im almost positive this isn't the real group, the arrangement is definitely theirs, but it not them singing. This group is very good thou

[crazysquirrel7]

My choir did this last year, and when I first heard it, I thought that they were chanting "chicken butter" over and over ^_^ I <3 this song!

[Rumens4god]

cool :0

[mshipwell]

I would just like to say thank you to the poster of this. This recording is very helpful, especially since i have to sing this song at a

district chorus festival. So thanks.

[mshipwell]

You

[preppybeast6293]

this is a way better version than the other one. the other recording is all mechanical sounding. this is perfectly vocal.

[duckflymcgoo]

worst song ever

x2

[chiijil]

I assure you, that this is NOT sang by the Real Group. I guess this is by some high school students somewhere. I think it is very obvious......Yes, it is the complete cover of the Real Rroup original, but it is very obvious it is not by any professionals.

[vanceSMI]

The bass(es!) gave it away lol.

[SammyyLemon]

@chiijil Umm...Why?

[TheDeeAlexExperience]

My choir last year sung this at our competition, and it got us first place in our division and first all around! :D

[LawlietLuigi13013]

ouch. the second soprano looks a bit hefty... she looks great in the pic in the new version

[fangsgirl96]

well thats a little rude

[LawlietLuigi13013]

I sugar coated it.

[mikeloredo12]

no one is perfect but this is the original version of the song.

[StephanieClonts]

It is the real group. This is the OLD version of this song...  there is also the new version on youtube somewhere.

[dscarrillo24]

First version I've heard on youtube where you can actually hear the bass section/part. Very nice! :)

[uDisConnect]

i think tats coz its the REAL real group

[jill604]

pretty good even though it's not the real group haha get it lol

[pupo985]

Very original interpretation. You can like or not this interpretation, but the idea is very clear in every voice.

[watcher613]

this is not real group. Not even five people but more, obviously.

Otherwise, the recording is OK-ish, i like it's so live if not so brilliant vocal technique.

yeah, a little sharp at points.... but hey :-)

[ssotaren]

this cannot possibly be the real group..??? :(  well, I guess everyone can have a bad day.

[bishopgeoffrey]

I have to agree, there were some parts that were just a little sharp... I'm no critic but, this was a little surprising. But whatever it helped me, I have to learn this for my a cappella group and I wanted to hear the original and was pleased with this!

[crabching]

marvelous

[georgiasunshine]

nice
