  • Nice comedy and harmonies. I had to laugh at the Sweet Adeline bit. I am a Sweet Adeline. Not a nurse, though I do know of one member who is. Alas, she's married.

  • Enter your text here.

  • red shirt didn't die, can't be real.

  • My favorite part of this is how the Spock guy remembers to pronounce "sensors" and "records" weird like Nimoy does.

  • How does one go-about getting the sheet music for the songs in your videos?

    Gotta git me a quartet goin' and sing some these here songs!!!!!

    You guys are GREAT!!

  • This was wonderful! You guys are so talented and very funny. Thanks for posting it. :)

  • someone just sent this to me and its three years old!!!! If this was a competition, did the group win? place? being a big star trek fan and lover of barbershop sound, I would love to see the group live! Is the group coming to midwest anywhere?

  • @uhura390 We did not win, but the audience loved it :) You can see our performance schedule on our website....

  • @mfredstr - So apparently, the judges weren't human afterall, eh? heh

  • @mfredstr - you guys did an awesome job. I know I'll be checking out your web site.

  • @mfredstr That is highly illogical. Dated I know, but you guys are GREAT!!!!!! I'm still laughing. And Vulcans don't laugh--- Damn it Jim! ! Keep up the good work guys!!!!

  • Ya gotta know the territory!!

    Whaddaya talk whaddaya talk

    Where'd ya get it!??

  • @dehro Because he's Scotty. Scotty is the only one powerful enough to wear a red shirt with immunity. Even when he got killed he came back to life.

  • You should make a cd!

  • Gotta love the humor. I watch their stuff all the time. Over and over

  • I was just ....blown away just now....Im in total AWE

  • how come the guy in the red shirt is still alive at the end of it?

  • That was amazing. Wonderful seamless harmonies, great lyrics, terrific parody. I also liked the choreography. This truly should have won first place,

  • Whatever contest this was...where ever it was... if these guys didn't win then theres no justice in the world. LOVED it! Thanks for posting it.

  • That was awesome, you guys are great! Lovely singing, and great humor!!!

  • We beamed down for the buffet.

  • Tremendous! I grew up on SPEBSQSA hits, and the music and humor were great!

  • That is great!!!

  • wow they used the song Yes sir thats my baby -.- and mixed in words

  • love it. they do an amazing job with chords, transitions, the whole thing!

  • thats awsome :) i didn't hear anything like that befor ... great performance

  • clever in the ways of changing the songs to fit Star trek

  • only 25th place? man, the other 24 people must have been superhuman or something because that was AMAZING!

  • @pattonlover98

    I think first place that year was... vocal spectrum? correct me if I'm wrong...

  • This is great! I'm a Sweet Adeline (taken, sorry, and also not a nurse), and a geek, and OMG this is awesome! Gonna share it with all my friends.

  • painfully funny. good show.

  • That was great. How'd they do in the competition?

  • 25th that year

  • @mfredstr  what is this competition called???

  • @theatomicpig3333 This was the Barbershop Harmony Society International Contest. Or as we call it..."The Big Show" :)

  • @mfredstr must have been a really tough competition.

    Good job!

  • AMAZING and it was FUNNY!

  • YOU ARE FANTASTIC!

  • This was amazing! XD

  • lol awesome. I love star trek and acapella so the two are a great mix for me.

  • Woa...seamless harmony & transitions.

  • Thank you! We work hard at those elements as well as the humor!

  • Captain, sensors indicate we have transported into a barbershop quartet contest. These strange life-forms here are known as Judges.

    Judges? Judges? Bones, get a reading; are they human?

    Tough call.

    Mr. Spock, what are they looking for?

    No one knows.

  • @Marine1Bulldog Yep thats what they said...

  • As a huge Star Trek fan all I can say is...

    Fascinating

  • Allan Sherman plus Star Trek? This is amazing.

  • Glad you like it!

  • Brilliant as a blue giant star.

  • Gee thanks!

  • I wonder if they won

  • lol are they human... tough call

  • ........all i have to say is lol

  • the guy in the yellow shirt looks like mr. incredible from the side

  • If you guys are on Facebook, you should join the STFF: Star Trek Federation of Fans. We would love it if you could come to any reunion conventions we might have.

  • I thought the BHS had strict rules against talking on stage?

  • The rules have changed a lot over the years

  • i dunno what competition this is but i met them once and they said that generally they compete in A-Capella competitions not specifically b-shop

  • He is fine. He is singing tenor in another quartet. The new lead for Hi Fidelity is even funnier.

  • Good observation. We have indeed changed lead singers since this video was shot 2 years ago.

  • That's a shame that Kirk was awesome.

    Was he an asshole in real life like the real Kirk and Shatner?

  • i loved this, it was kool

  • I recognized parts of the lyrics from Alan Sherman's parody "Eight Foot Two" - you wove them in there very well! Nice job, guys!

  • You guys were robbed that was amazing.

  • OMKami that was amazing! 8D

  • Wow! I can't imagine how you guys came up with all that.

  • very original!

    FIVE STARS!!!

  • I wish you guys would have won. Your song was awesome!

  • Is the tenor one the one in red? He's good! You guys aren't bad at all

  • That was awesome! Did you guys win?

  • No, we didnt' win :(

  • where did you come?

  • I take it you were defeated by a Next Generation group? ;-)

    (Thanks for posting both videos: very enjoyable. :-))

  • omg that was amazing

  • The one that plays spock was the vulcan captain in the DS9 pilot

  • No, but I wish it was. Thats me and I can tell you I have never been on ST DS9

  • haha. this is great.

  • wow this was amazing

  • I've never seen Star Trek, but this makes me want to see it!

  • I loved it!

  • wow!I can see my dad doin that. he would be spock.

  • I hope they won. Great singing and marvelous inventiveness!

  • Absolutely OUTSTANDING! I laughed the entire time - thanks for brightening my day! :)

  • wow! ya'll did a great job!

  • Awesome. Love the harmony

  • Absolutely Brilliant!!!

  • Awesome...I'm a Trek fan for 2 decades now, and that was a great twist on it. Thanks for the smile!

  • This isn't just any Barbershop Quartet. This is none other than the NBC Monologue Joke Explainers Barbershop Quartet featured on several episodes of "Last Call with Carson Daly"! The audience LOVED them every time they appeared.

  • Add "&fmt=18" to the URL to hear this in stereo, and with a much sharper picture to boot!

  • you guys made my evening. when will you next be in the bay area because I want to come see you.

  • Excellent! Great harmony and funny. Thank you!

  • Glad you liked it!

    Hi-Fidelity Quartet

  • Ok, I needed this today.

  • Glad we could brighten you day!

    H-Fidelity Quartet

  • ROFLMAO !

  • Glad you like it!

  • I love barbershop and I also happen to like Star trek so of course i had to check it out...

    ("Tough call" on judges being "Human" ?)

    *giggle*

    post one as the Adams' Family !

    Please?

  • WOW, that was great!

  • Not bad, kinda enjoyed it XD

  • Wow, nice voices too :)

  • This made my day!

  • VERY clever!

  • I needed that laugh. :D

    Very well done, and hilarious to boot.

  • Hey Hi-Fidelity - just wanted to let you know that I jut got your new CD and it is just as good as the first! Glad that I got to hear you guys live and meet you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING THEIR NEW (OR OLD) CD!!!!! Awesome Quartet (honestly one of the best out there today) and just all-around good guys. I love the sound that you guys have - your blend and balance is uniquely you, and it's always a pleasure to hear. Keep entertaining, best wishes, and take care!!

  • Great Harmonization!!!!!!!

  • Thank you!  This has to be one of the most entertaining videos I've seen on YouTube in awhile.

    I so miss singing Barbershop!

  • For those who don't know, this is the same Quartet that liven up Carson Daly's monologues as the "NBC Monologue Joke Explainers Barbershop Quartet" on "Last Call with Carson Daly."

    This song is just one small part of a long skit they do. They also do skits dressed up as The Addam's Family, etc.

    If you want great entertainment for a show or event, look no further than these guys. They may not get the highest scores, but they are consummate entertainers.

  • Hilarious!  Nice job, keep it up!

  • Did you win?

  • No, we did not :(

  • I love it! I love it! I love it!

  • Absolutely out of this world, cosmic, universal entertainment value, definately four stars.
