In The Buff A Cappella performs Army by Ben Folds

For the Ben Folds A Cappella Competition

In The Buff is the premiere a cappella performance group at CU Boulder. This song was arranged for the spring concert next February, so we hadnt learned it yet, but we heard about the contest with only a week after our fall concert and decided that we wanted to enter. We learned and recorded the song from sheet music to video in 4 days, and were very excited for a shot to be on the new Ben Folds Album. Army Performed by Ben Folds, arranged by Scott Rambo.

The arrangement is superb. I don't know if the tone of the lead singer accurately embodies the tone of the song.

Also, during the chorus, the last chord is a major 7th, not just major

You guys are awesome. I love this song and you nailed it. Who is the really good looking guy three in from the right?

Why is everyone just standing there? Acapella should have energy... And that didn't have energy

Guys - Audition for season two!!!

[FOOLOKOO]

jajjaja.. awesome!!

great beatboxer!

the lead was good but like other people said the tone was a bit off. in my opinion he should have sounded more aggressive and cut the notes shorter

other than that there was great energy and overall good performance

not diggin the soloist but other than that this is pretty good

One of my favourite songs of all time, as the previous post stated, not a huge fan of the tone of the lead, but at the same time, who wants to 100% recreate the song, I'd rather see someone throw thier own flair to it, which they did, kudos to yourselves, and i cant wait for the A Capella album to come out, Should be very interesting.

P.S. ftr thanks for keepin it real if you will haha with the first line as "son your Fucking High" Most would probably keep it at "Son you must be high".

I've been scooting around YouTube all night listening to songs for this contest...This is clearly one of the best arranged versions of any of the songs in the contest, and your vocal delivery of it is impeccable.....Great job!!!!
