SwankiVY Sings: "Higher and Higher" (a cappella multitrack), plus skit

Ever wonder what happens when the alto gets a solo? I don't think the first soprano is going to be too happy about that.

This is a multitrack recording of "Higher and Higher" in the style of the Mint Juleps [which in turn was based on "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" by Jackie Wilson]. My voice parts from The Swanky Six argue with teach other yet again, play tricks on each other, and eventually find a common chord. Haha.

Actor, singer, director, producer, set designer, props department....... Is there anything you can't do and do well. Another briliant video. Thank you.

[swankivy]

@mrbarandca Aw . . . another very nice comment. Thanks. Actually I don't think the acting or the camerawork is good in this, but I am after all just a dumb Internet girl joking around. Thanks for watching. ;)

[mrbarandca]

@swankivy I kind of understand why or how you discribe yourself but joking around or not, you have talent that most would envy and that includes me. Maybe the camerawork or the acting isn't up to what you would have liked but from where I sit they are indeed very good. Instead of playing down your talents just say thanks.

[swankivy]

@mrbarandca Heh, no, I appreciate what you're saying, but I assure you I'm not coming from a position of false modesty. I can see the lines in the split screen and the awkward pauses in the dialogue when I didn't get the timing right, so this is just my way of saying I'm well aware my works here are amateurish. For an amateur I do think I did a decent job. ;) I'm not delusional about my accomplishments, but if I were ashamed of them, I wouldn't have posted this. :)

I love this! awesome. Also, you have the same doll as me. In the part where first soprano is sleeping, the doll in the background with the braids? my mom gave a doll exactly like it to me when I was little. I think she made it from a kit. It has embroidery all over it.

[swankivy]

@paperlaceheart Really? I didn't know it was kit-based. My grandmother, who is no longer with us, made two of these dolls and my sister and I each have one (though my sister keeps saying I have her doll, heh). That's news to me! How cool. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Consider me flabbergasted . . . the usual beautiful vocals, but with a side of comedy skit done with camera work that puts most of what I've seen online to shame. And that includes many of the contributors to sites whose bread and butter are their videos. Kicking this much ass has to get exhausting, eh what?

[swankivy]

@violetinspired Heh, thanks, yeah for a singing group they don't seem to be that eager to sing unless they get the spotlight huh? Heh I'm glad you enjoyed Bass 2. :D

[swankivy]

@KikyoChanXD It's nice when Alto gets the spotlight just for a time, right? :)

[swankivy]

@bwgary Oh, I've never seen the commercial you're talking about, but that sounds cool--love men's a cappella! I'm glad you like my humor. I'm trying to get into a groove here with my six singing "personalities" and I like making them fight with each other.  :)

@swankivy I've always liked that song and the Mint Juleps arrangement of it. It is a very good song to sing a capella. Somewhere around here is an old Arrow Shirts commercial from the 80's with a mens choir singing that song. Too bad it was just a short commercial because they were good. Your humor in the video was good too. Very creative.

@bwgary Thanks very much! Very kind of you to say!
