âIf they were a little more talented as a group they could be somethingâ
In Australia and New Zealand they are something. They are a great comedy band.
Also that song at the end, birdplane, that is one of their songs
No thanks, click n' subscribe.
I found this song a long time ago. Itâs great! Unfortunately, I only found two great songs by these guys, from around the same time. The other song is âHow To Write A Love Songâ. I think you will enjoy it equally or more: czcams.com/video/L2cfxv8Pq-Q/video.htmlsi=ufbExVM3EYt4BMEi
the real talent here is how well they have used the lyrics and knowing when to stop, thatÂŽs the hard part.
There is a video of them doing this song at a concert. In the intro, Benny says to Jordan, "They [the audience] know all about this. Why don't you?" and Jordan answers "I am feigning ignorance to maintain a comedic conceit."
The reason "Canvas Bags" gets such a big laugh is because Tim Minchin had just been on stage and performed it - they dropped it in at the last minute as an extra joke. There are also many different versions of this song that they do - as you say, they could go on for hours.
Craig Murray now thatâs talent! âđŸ
id love to see a few different versions
Everytime they play live they use different songs lol. I've seen them twice and they were different from this.
They're from Australia playing at the Melbourne Comedy Festival (also in Australia) so there's quite a few Australian songs in there that might not be as widely known internationally
As an Aussie that saw this years ago..I am just so proud of this act! -And just love it when I see someone (especially foreigners) see it for the first time.
They not only got the base joke of the whole act down, but they build something creative and completely engaging in every single verse...practically every line ups the ante.
From Jolly Swagman to C'mon Barbie, to Canvas Bags...and Canvas Bags was hard to top considering Minchin had only just played it on stage...but the finale ,"Now doesn't that sound familiar?"...and the final stroke of genius, "That's all it takes to be a star."
Just so, so well put together.
P.S. I've seen a lot of versions, and almost always noone catches the first joke before the song , "we've been a band for close to 40yrs now...". (they're each about 30!).
I've even heard them ramp it up to 50, and it still goes over everyone's head!
All I can say is god bless that outfit..
Scott Crosby sheâs a beautiful woman but I would prefer less of chest and more focus on her and her voice. Not a fan of her outfit for CZcams.
Anna B
You probably don't look anywhere as good as she does. Stop hating. She's hot and confident.
Too much boob
That outfit was great!
@@Team1Olson such a thing is not possible
The shtick for the axis of awesome is based on benny being the best singer and also the most forgotten. Along with the left guy being a terrible singer.
Important context for sure (really also quite unsure whether or not she knew this). But to be fair it's also rather irrelevant if the sole point of this video is reacting to their vocal skills :)
I always saw it as Benny being the brains of the operation, Jordan being probably the more conventional singer/rock musician, and Lee just being there for comedic relief. Although you can argue that Benny is probably a better singer than Jordan too.
Also, the way they put in their own "Birdplane", even though Benny introduced the bit by saying they'd never done a four-chord song.
@@drewdavis2392 I found it hilarious that "Birdplane" was the one that got her to go "Pitch, though, middle guy. Pitch". I'm curious how she would have reacted if she knew that one was actually their own song.
You must know that playing guitar while singing isn't that easy. You have to focus on your left and right hand while singing
The thing to keep in mind about Axis of Awesome is that they are "comedians who use music" rather than "musicians who use comedy."
Benny -- the piano player -- is the only actual musician in the group, the others being actors/comedians who have some musical talent. Lee -- the guy with the guitar who you wondered what he was doing -- is actually their primary songwriter.
Benny, by the way, has a series of solo videos where he examines "the other four chords."
Bingo
Grumpy you have to mention the middle guy when you summarize the group xD
@@4211234 xD
The best reaction to this song I've seen by far, it's so "sing-alongable" and I love every moment that you sing-along as I do too!
For anyone who doesn't know, the chord progression they were using in this is 1 5 6 4. You can transpose that into any key.
Note that the 6 is minor. If you're playing in C, all notes are "on the white keys". It would be C - G - Am - F
The cookie cutter of the cookie cutters.
It's a "cookie cutter" because those chords sound really good together in that order. It's the first four chords of Pachebel's Canon (D A Bm G), so it's quite old, too.
@@drewmiller335 Good but at this point boring. After i was taught about modulations and how they work i haven't listened music the same. My guitar teacher basically ruined simple harmonies for me but i don't blame him.
If you want complex chord changes, listen to jazz. Pop music is meant to be easily digested. Using a simple chord progression that sounds good just makes sense in context.
What was crazy for me was that even an old folk song like Waltzing Matilda works. Also, as a rule, if there are Aussies it's best to expect swearing. We do it a lot.
Being so sensitive to it is outdated
I'd fit right in Australia. đ In the US, it's....hit or miss on where swearing is acceptable or not.
It's not an Australian thing, as it might be said. Don't make us Aussies known for swearing all the time I think you're wrong there, because I'm a typical Aussie and know where it's appropriate to swear.
To use her words - that jacket is (hand clap) on POiNT!
It's worth a clap and a half!
A bonus clap and a half if someone can tell me where that's from...
@@billstephens396 GTLive?
@@JoelGriggs42 Well done! Yes!!!
Love Axis of Awesome. I've seen them live several times and they are always great.
That should be your official Reaction jacket.
Yep and if I ever do vocal lessons with you over Skype I couldnt take you seriously in anything but that outfit
You should look at the âPachelbel rantâ youâd LOVE that one!
Wait what? Is that what it's called?
Rob Paravonian - Pachelbel Rant
@@LeonBlackbird I watched it and loved it!
@@stephenl5416 czcams.com/video/JdxkVQy7QLM/video.html
Thank you! I thought of this immediately, but forgot what it was called
Axis of Awesome is a comedy band, they are somewhat meant to sound kinda 'bad' that's the tall guys bit he is meant to sing bad. It's made funnier when he is given songs that are hard generally to sing "if i were a boy" is high af
This admittedly isn't Jordan's best performance, imo - I don't know if they worked with a voice coach later, but they got a lot tighter as a group as time went on. Lee (the one with the guitar) can't really sing, so they play that up for comic effect (they also act as tho he's very dim, but as he's their tech person -among other things- I'm pretty sure that''s also just for comic effect). I love AoA & really hope they start touring again someday! I adore their songs 'I Love Being A Cow' (it's a Christmas song! lol), '1 in 3', & 'The Glorious Epic of 3 Guys Who Are Awesome'; honorable mention goes to 'We Are So Young'! Check them out sometime!
The first time I heard this I honestly laughed for 20 minutes straight while it was on repeat
Nice that you reacted to this. This has been one of my favorite vids for the longest time.
Awesome!!đ„°đđ»
You should totally react to VoicePlayâs âOogie Boogieâs Songâ you will not be disappointed
You should really do that. It's awesome
This...
Love this channel !!!
The Melbourne comedy festival does give a warning to good folks who might be offended by swearing
Some of the audience in Melbourne are somewhat bohemian and alternative
These guys are more of a comedy act that can sing.
"dead simple to write a pop hit" *proceeds to write a pop hit*
I'm sure Sara wont see this, and even if she does, she probably wont pick the band since they're not what most of her viewers would normally listen to, but hear me out:
Beast In Black.
The singer has an amazing vocal range. Absolutely nuts! You can go listen to their first single "Blind & Frozen" either recorded or live version, and hear what I'm talking about. I have never heard another male with a similar vocal range, it's insane.
Oooh I just saw them live in december with Nightwish. His voice is absolutely nuts.
That was really great Tara, I had no idea about the 4 chords, but that's pretty awesome. and I must say, you look fantastic today girl.
great choice of jacket! :-D
Yes! They are awesome =D. The fact that you reacted to this is such a pleasant surprise!
Haha YES! Such a yt classic! When this came out my friends and I in orchestra were always trying to come up with our own fav songs to fit with 4 chords lol! Man good times
Such a blast from the past!! One of the early viral hits, I would say! In high school my friends and I would all start singing this whenever we were bored and someone had a guitar.
Hey I saw you recently reacted to voiceplay and you were very impressed by them. They recently dropped a new song: "oogie boogie song". Their bass, Geoff, takes the lead and is absolutely amazing!
You thought you could hide from me!?
The drop in of Canvas Bags is a specific one for the Comedy Festival, âcause that was by Tim Minchin, and heâs phenomenal for comedy.
And of course theyâre own MFing birdplane song makes them liars when they say at the start âweâve never written a four chord songâ.
This was fun watching you laugh!!! It was great seeing you laugh!!! Good to know that you appreciate comedy as well as Great Music!! Thoroughly Entertaining!!! Thank you for this video!!!

đđđđđđđ„đđđđđđđ
I think I'm in love. please more outfits like this one. 500k subscribers soon.
OMG what a coincidence. I watched this video for the first time in years yesterday and now you are reacting to it. Amazing. Or youtube algorithm.
This exact performance is new to me (despite being in my home city), but I already loved the group and the song.
Saw that you were reacting to it, and just thought "Tara's going to love this"
Love your voice Tara ... with your sing alongs :-) perfect
You should do a few of these covers
My Senior year of HS, my band directors showed my class this song and it was extremely eye opening and absolutely hilarious! I went on to study composition in college and it's insane how widely used those 4 chords really are used!
It's a comedy act. Not to be analysed as a serious singing group lol.
Facts đ
Thatâs a copout. She can still have criticisms. And just because the content is funny doesnât mean theyâre not serious
@@toddpacker4683 yea everyone has the right to there own critiques but like she was just killing the whole vibe tbh
@@fanfuse9992 fair enough
WHAT A FUN VIDEO!đ€Łđđ fun outfit too! You must have a HUGE closet LOL!
I believe they have used over 200 songs in this over the year. You are right when you say âhours and hoursâ
Digging that outfit, I'm a sucker for animal print
Also absolutly recomend Jon Pumpers 'when your friend knows about 4 chord songs'
Print...there was print? I never noticed, how unobservant of me. I guess I was distracted.
@@gregorycraig9882
I was curious as to which animal they believe the print is from lmao. Never seen anything that colour.
These guys are so awesome. I love this so much.
I just saw this vid, after having loved Axis of Awesome and this song for ages. Great to see a new perspective on it!
1:05
I preferred your previous setting for the sound. In this new one it sounds like the audio is captured much farther from you and we can hear the room echo, which gives it a cheaper feel.
Video editor here. Absolutely.
Accountant here. Totally.
@@MrSkinnyWhale đ
There was sound in this video...?
Love Tara love this song love everything about this
I remember watching this when I was little! I'm 16 now and so glad to have watched this video again, the memories.
This band updates this every so often to add more songs. Those would be fun to check out too
This is a very exciting and fun, I love such musical metamorphosis. :)
That was fun to watch you laugh at this. Thank you.
So glad you did this, figured you'd have some insight into this one.
Not sure why it didn't show up for me til today though...
đđ»đ„°
Fun review. Just saw the latest release from voiceplay...the oogie boogie song. Geoff on full display. Really fun video.
And this one..
omg what a blast from the past remember watching this like 10yrs ago hahahaha
As a player trained in jazz and who listens to metal, I greatly appreciate your wish that the average listener might give songs beyond that chord progression a try. Keep preaching it
Love how much you were enjoying the video!
Love your energy in your video :)
Love YOU for watching!! đ„°đ„°đđ»
@@Tarasimonstudios this was actually the first video i have watched from you. đ was not disappointed đ
I love your vids!
Hi Tara, as always, I enjoyed your reaction. Voiceplay just released The Oogie Boogie song from Nightmare Before Christmas featuring Geoff (the Bass). I was stunned by what he did vocally in the performance. Please react to this new video. Thanks!
Tom Rice Yes I agree, you should really react to them!
You shall find me on every Oogie Boogie Song comments lol.
Super fun video! I've been a fan of Axis of Awesome for a while and they continue to get better all the time. The pianist has his own CZcams channel called BennyTheHumanJukebox, where he does a lot more of his solo stuff. These three are childhood friends who decided to get together and sing some funny songs, even though only one of them had any training in vocals.
I'd love to see you react to the Newfangled Four singing Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. I'd recommend last year's performance, rather than the new one. This is mainly because they made some changes to the arrangement that make more sense in context of having seen their previous rendition. Either that, or Notre Dame Medley by Ringmasters (Remastered Audio).
Love you!
they did a redo of this song that's almost 6 minutes and it's REALLY messed up
Love the jacket!
That's all it takes to be a star âđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł. Love them...
Tara you are absolutely gorgeous; the video was hilarious your reaction even more so. Keep up the good work, this was almost as good as your reaction to Home Frees cover of Man of Constant Sorrow.
I love this Axis of Awesome video!
Great job keep up the great work I always enjoy your opinion
Time for Nightwish "Romanticide" live in Wacken 2013. My tone deaf ears tell it might have other chords than these four. Having Floor singing is a plus. ;)
"You could go on with this for hours".
She should watch their other versions of this XD I think they remade this song... twice? Three times?
The "middle dude" had started hormones at the time. She's a woman now.
Real talk?
@@salihhakim3255 Yep. Jordan transitioned to female and Axis of Awesome is no more.
I don't believe that affected her, the elephant in the room
@@vynnyn5489 Well hey - good for her!
just for the record - the reason waltzing matilda got such a reaction from the audience is that waltzing matilda happens to be aussie's unofficial anthem lol
Love Axis of Awesome. One of Australiaâs best comedy acts.
Works for country music too. 1-4-5 with 2nd or 6th minor(sometimes the 7th)
đđ»đ„°
The "original" singer of "will be loved" (with or without you) does it in their ideal key from the start!
oh gosh I remember laughing so hard at this the first time I saw it. It's still kind of awesome.
They have multiple versions of this and have other ones where they even include music by Pavoratti I believe, as well as many other songs not done here.
One of my best friends did this as her final Music extension performance when we were in grade 12. There's even an updated version with more recent songs though that was 10 years ago now.
I enjoyed this reaction and song. đ
Love your jacket :D
Wow, your voice is magnificent! đČ
WATCH OOGIE BOOGIE MAN BY VOICPLAY
get as many likes so she sees this
Marcello Berry yesssssss
Honestly! Its will shake her to the core. Geoff is crazy!
Tara, if you were gobsmacked by the bass in VoicePlay's Moana, you will need a few days to recover from his performance in Oogie Boogie Man.
I literally came over to comment this
Someone beat me to it. I was just coming here to tell her to react to it. I NEED to see her reaction to Geoff's last note!!!
Hi Tara, you should listen to their 'How to write a love song' song by Axis of Awesome. It's hilarious and sooo true lol. Being a vocal coach I think you would get a great laugh out of it.
I really liked you're voice and would love to hear you singing.
'Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale' is the natural next video to react to after this one. It's the perfect segway into it
If she was my teacher I wouldn't be learning lmao. Gorgeous
Meeeeh, you donât really watch that AoA vid for their vocal performance (although it is one of their best lives on YT). You really just watch them for the concept and the fact that they can sing
love your vids and tuition
Wow you have a great set of...pipes
I saw this video years ago... Great entertainment!
Don't know what the guy on the left is doing? You mean Lee? He's providing the funniest parts, that's what! It's just that you weren't paying enough attention! You were also talking over a couple of his best bits so you completely missed them.
Lee is amazingly talented and my favorite of the three!
@@Liquefaction I liked him until he lost his hair ;)
@@drdiscostu lol why...what does that have to do with anything? That would be like if I said I liked Jordan until he decided he wanted to be a girl
Bennythejukebox is his youtube check out some of his other mashups.
OH MY GOODNESS TARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO WATCH OOGIE BOOGIE MAN BY VOICEPLAY!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, music is also enjoyed with the eyes......âșïžâșïž
Yes, Tara! Sing!
You should react to Voice Play's rendition of Oogie Boogie's song from the Nightmare Before Christmas. It's mostly the bass, Geoff, and all awesome.
Tim Lattin *whispers* and this one!
CANNIBAL CORPSE REACTION!!!!!!!! so kidding. You are amazing first off. New sub. As a guitar player I can say those four chords are the first chords in that particular progression that I learned as well as adding the extra chord that makes up cannon by pachelbell and I absolutely love them and are such good practice for beginners.
You seem like a lovely lady. Great singing voice too.
Omg soooooo true!!! Iâve been so tired of this chord progression. I like to make music and I always try to stay away from these chords as much as possible... just wanna be different.
A very fast click! This song is amazing!
Beau Dermott is Amanda Holden's golden girl | Week 1 Auditions | Britainâs Got Talent 2016 Defying Gravity is a really good cover!
Iâve officially liked and commented on every post requesting you do the Oogie Boogie Song by Voiceplay. My work here is done...
Even this one!!
đđ
Your voice! Love to you more often!!!
Love to hear you more often... whoops Freudian slip
I only know one other song of theirs, "The elephant in the room", which I absolutely adore.
I personal think, that the reason we tend to like theese songs with the 4 cords is because, there are som much noise in our daily rutines..., cars, planes, PEOPLE, traffic in general and tv's, music, radio and so on and on and on...
We have started to found peace in some minor things..., we can't go BIG in how we hear music, because we are so feed up by noice, talk and so on, so many people can't relate to more than 4 cords in general...
We are emposed on the fact, that we are hurting our self, with all the things we want to do..., instead of the things we need to do, therefor we use our limited amount of energy on many things, and therefor we can't get too much envolment in each thing...
Just my theory.... đđŠżđđ€đđ¶đ”đŒ
And it has always been like that..., some people like some things better than other..., some like Beethoven, others Bach, or Mozart..., but even then it was the ear..., by time we have been inclined to hear more and more of the same...
Another great song by Axis of Awesome is Elephant in the Room
