At any point, the urge to sing this song is just a whim away. A whim away, a whim away, a whim away...
People who dislike them probably don't have the first clue about how much talent it truly takes to do a cappella and get the full sound they have, especially for an all men's group. They're INCREDIBLE.
what blows my mind is he sings so high without it sounding falsetto - it's a pure, clear note.
This is a piece of artistic genius.
+DaToyGamer And nothing short of it.
It seems to be an unwritten rule that if you call yourself an a cappella group and you can't do Lion Sleeps, you're not a real a cappella group. But you REALLY have to have incredible musical chops to work "Hakuna Matata" and "Brown Eyed Girl" right into the middle of it, and bring it home without it sounding forced or gimmicky. These guys, simply put, are JUST THAT GOOD.
yep Yelp
Oh, come on, Trevor White. Brown Eyed-Girl is only the best boyfriend/girlfriend song to hit the planet. And yes, these guys are really just that good.
In an age where so many singers use filters and effects, it's so refreshing to hear a TRULY talented group of singers! I know the video is old, but I think the music is just as awesome today as it was then!
They are so well balanced and blend incredibly well.
Ah, this performance makes me all sorts of happy. I love how much fun they're having with the song.
these guys are so amazing. i have never heard any guys sing that high. that is pure talent. i love how they sing with no music.
NEVER, EVER gets tired of watching this video....It's amazing to see how far you guys have come in these last few years. Steve, Mike Itkoff, and Dan...we miss you! The music of Straight No Chaser is not just heard, it's felt!
The falsetto is flawless, the bits of humor- "don't worry, be happy"- priceless.
the lead singers vocal agility is frickin amazing
I'm a 1st soprano in choir. Some of these guys can hit notes that take a decent effort for me to hit. Amazing. I want to see them live. :)
We have played Canada many times, and I'm sure we'll be back!
How can you not smile when you hear this? These gentlemen are marvelous!
It's nice to see a group enjoy music as much as they do...way to go Straight No Chaser!
The word "amazing" doesn't do justice! You guys are AWSOME!!!!
So, I knew one song that had been done and I came on here and have probably watched 12 videos already. This one killed me and sent me to heaven :3
I'm a 16 year old clarinetist. This is the best male ensemble I've ever heard. Especially that falsetto; truly amazing tone and talent.
The only flawless 10-part harmony that you will ever hear. From the lowest bass to the highest falsetto, this group is amazing
Great, funny....love watching these guys in concert! Saw them in Seattle back in 2009.
When i saw his face smile in the beginning i started smiling, cause i knew that man actually enjoys singing :)
saw them last Sunday. They did this song. Fantastic show!!!
Been watching this a good 8 years now, and i still get chills
THAT DUDE GETS FRICKEN SOPRANO!
Tenor. For males, it's tenor, especially since, vocally, it's extremely rare to reach the kind of notes sopranos can.
serban031 The voicing doesn't really matter in this case, the commenter was saying he sung that high, For example, if a tenor trombone plays a note thats in the soprano range, you could say it played as a soprano
serban031 i felt an similar way, sorry my english not so good!
Guys actually have a wider vocal range than females. In my choir, out of 10 guys, 3 can sing soprano well, and sing bass. That guy is definitely at the top and above the treble staff. I consider it soprano.
serban031 I think this range actually qualifies as countertenor.
This just never gets old. Only problem is, I can't buy a recording of it ANYWHERE. Please record this, guys! It's spectacular!
"That's talent...that's talent" my brother said.
can't find where else to post on your G-plus.... butttt HAPPY BIRTHDAY chica !!!! :D
Lol...Thank you!!! thisis awesome! Hahah =D
Aside from being funny on stage and having fun doing it, SNC is one of, if not THE best acapella group I've ever heard. Amazing voices, excellent coordination, and they are flawlessly on key the entire song.
Man, that guy has one good falsetto voice. If I sang like that for the duration of this song, my voice wouldn't be right for a week.
I haven't listened to this for a while now but it's still as good as ever! Thanks Randy for posting it, I hope you're still enjoying singing and life in general! :)
My music teacher played these amazing guys in class and I liked their band ever sense. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!
Amazing. And above all...here for the world to enjoy. Not stuck in the back of a drawer collecting dust :) Thankful.
I can watch these over and over! Just so talented!! Should be a much bigger group than they get credit for!!
I cant believe 240 people disliked this. I mean I can accept everyone's opinion.... unless your opinion IS WRONG. THIS IS AMAZING
This makes me so utterly happy :)
:))
I want to like this a million times! This is amazing!
He has one of the most amazing Tener voices I think I have ever heard.
They are so awesome! That shows what can be done with your voice only. It blows me away.
I was beaming like an idiot throughout this whole fucking thing.
+SeaBiscuit mee too!!!
+SeaBiscuit Same
I was shrieking my head off cause I'm a bass and its so high. Sounded like a dying hyena with a punctured lung.
Somebody is probably going to call animal control.
Yup :-)
Ditto
This song is so emotional for me and the way they performed it was absolutely beautiful. Perfect cover
I Love these guys! I'd love to see them in Concert!
I did see them in concert early this year they were awesome! :)
I saw these guys live, and they are amazing. Incredibly funny too
"Wimbo we"! literally translated in my language, Swahili, "You song" :-D Can't stop listening to SNCmusic. Love you guys!!!
This is "pure" music! No electronics. No "fake" musical sounds to imitate instruments. This is talent brought to the max! You can't beat REAL talent, not like what's being hyped up today as "talent".
this. is. amazing.
his falsetto, his VOICE is simply gorgeous.
Man, I'm having flashbacks to high school, when my choir had a competition to see who could hit those notes without sounding horrid. I USED to be able to.
Love your work guys, makes me wish I'd kept up group singing after 1996.
Anyone in 2021..
omg. i can not stop watching Straight no chasers. i am inspired to sing.
GOd has just been so glorious thru these talents.....this is something far beyond what you call talent for this is what you call the glory of God's blessing....keep it up guys....you are so amazing!!!keep using your amazing talents to share God's goodness.....
1:42 That chord literally blew my mind...so freaking awesome

straight no chaser always knows how to put you in a good mood!
I'm obsessed in their songs now ^-^ My music teacher introduced them to me.
Hakuna...Matataaaa... 1:28

This never, ever(!) gets old...
By far the best version of this song ever! I have listened to this song so many times already and still love it. I am so happy that I just stumbled onto one of your videos by accident many years ago because otherwise I would not have been able to enjoy your super songs :-) Keep on going! Love you guys!
I been searching this video since 2014
Oh my gosh this was AWESOME. His falsetto is incredible!!!
GREAT song plus EPIC band= TOTALLY AWESOME AND EPIC SONG!!! It was SO cool when I walked in to my friends house, and this song was blasting at 100 decibels!!!!
You guys have fun when you guys sing
"Don't worry man, be happy :D... Forget it :D"
Made me LOL so much
I Never tire of this SNC Classic! Excited about the opportunity to hear the amazing tenor, Steve Morgan, sing this LIVE, now that he's back with SNC! WTG, @sncmusic!
I have very fond memories of singing this song (every part) at the top of my lungs when I was a kid. Who am I kidding, I still sing this at the top of my lungs. Epic song.
Major chills from 2:25 on
This makes me smile so hard my cheeks hurt.
