- This is a study of the different styles and arrangements of Cameo's "Talkin' Out The Side Of Your Neck" featuring HBCU Marching Bands Alabama State University, Jackson State University, Norfolk State University, Bethune-Cookman University, Southern University, Florida A&M University, Texas Southern University, South Carolina State University

The cymbals for Florida A&M were going ham
Bethune plays in a whole different key, and does it well. That's an automatic win to me😁🔥
I am a huge Alabama fan but no one does it like LSU's band. They slayyyyyyy "Neck"! czcams.com/video/mJFJHcH3dTQ/video.html
@@uanonymous1090 they’re alright with neck
@@THETOPMAN97 They dont do it like LSU and I am a Alabama fan. LSU's Trumpets and Tubas are more technically sound and precise. BCUs usually just blast their notes and are loud. There is a huge difference in the quality of sound between the two. Just because you are loud doesn't make you good. Bethune cant compare to LSU's band period!
the video doesn't do justice for Bethune... and trust me I LOVE my show bands.. but Bethune just does magic with Neck.. to hear them live, in-person... it's beyond words.
@@uanonymous1090 I know a few bands that play Neck better than LSU
Bethune-Cookman Univ, best played.
FAMU, best hyped while playing.
JSU, best power.
WHOEVER that was at the end credits, BEST ALL AROUND!!!!!
Talking out the side of your neck, is a trademark for all HBCU bands. I marched at Livingstone College in the early 1990's and it's amazing how everyone comments on how these bigger bands can rock this song, but dont sleep on them smaller bands. They will wax you right off your own field. We were known as "The little band with the big band sound."
What does the song title mean anyway?
FAMU won me over with that cymbal line! I wish I could have seen this when I was playing cymbals in high school!
SU and JSU are definitely known for blastin nearly all songs they play
I love how each school has added their own regional touches. It is a classic regardless of version, but I will always prefer the GoGo infused versions of the DMV.
Yeah especially the version Howard does since they’re from DC, the birthplace of Go-go.
famu represented properly as always.... but I love all my hbcu's different renditions & flavors.. peace & love yall.
-Norfolk State's version is the best ! The way they played it wanted you to get up & party & enjoy it with them...
TNSTATE AOB has the most unique/incomparable/original "Neck" versions, idk how we missed the lineup!
czcams.com/video/hGdOSJ-7h_s/video.html
Exactly. I prefer what TSU plays. Marched only 95 and 96 so but I am biased LOL
SCSU has the most original and by the far the best rendition of Neck... in my opinion!
Watching all of these bands play a high speed version of "Neck", makes me appreciate the super slow, almost "Chopped and Screwed" version of "Neck" that the Aristocrat of Bands ( Tennessee State ) play.
The best band in the land
JSU, SU, and ASU
BCU Hands down
SCSU got the cleanest bass line of this song hands down. But the best version of the song is the one being played while rolling the credits.... IJS
Agree completely and I'm an SU Jaguar Alum. When I listed to SC State (my home state btw), I was like, wow. But whoever's is doing it in the credits takes the cake.
Lol yo y'all both lying to yourselves. TSU(TENN ST.) Started this chant back in the 80's when cameos song talking out the side of ya neck first came out and has been a staple in EVERY HBCU band that is around now. Check it out for yourselves. Just type in Tenn St Neck and listen to the superiority of the sounds... If FAMU band members can give them they praise and props then everyone gotta follow suit. I'm a Tenn St fan for life...but the FAMU band is just better, but not when it comes to this song.
@@sxyalpha1906 It's from Drumline Live
As usual Texas Southern has tge best version but Overall they all have good pieces except the last band. NSU What da hell kind of train wreck was that I expect better. Remember more is not necessarily better! GQ chapter 🤟🏾
they were doing to much it takes from the original version
Jackson clearly sounds the best but didn't have the better arrangement! SCSU and BCU HAD THE BWST ARRANGEMENTS!
I'm in marching band and I love when we play this song! We all just start jamming out and dancing, it's just such a fun time!
+IIAmandaII i agree :)
same with one of my favorite we play
TSU's version is dope. but on this ASU, FAMU, BCU
I normally do not have a comment on band videos, but I had to throw in my two cents. Tennessee State University's Aristocrat of Bands version is by far the most original arrangement of "Neck" and should have been on the list. I just heard the same sped-up version of a Cameo classic. Slow it down so we can hear you!!!! #BIGBLUERISING
TSU Aristocrat of Bands playing Neck - 2013 Gateway Classic
SCSU, BCU & NSU, these 3 Meac bands have the best and most distinctive versions of NECK in my opinion.
Whoever that is playing during the credits shoulda been in this video. 😂😂😂💯💯💯
That was "Drumline Live" in the credits. Not a college band.
Logan Hal Leonard used the audio from Drumline live
BCU & FAMU in one division then u got JSU & SU in the other... but that's my opinion :-)
SCSU Marching 101 on point as always!!! Kept it funky!!!
Grambling's Neck sounds a bit better.
This a nice video.. I wish we had this arrangement out.. back in the early 90's..
I love Bethune Cookman
Were is UAPB now they clearly have the best neck point blank period
Correct!! UAPB lets go lions.....
This was really good!!!! Lol 😂 the excerpt from the credits clearly was the best one!!! But for the sake of the film I’m gonna say I enjoyed SU and JSU then BCU🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 SU comes in sooo solid, JSU just a powerhouse, and BCU got sooo much class!!!
I like southern's and the one at the end
SCSU's Neck is the best so far!!! The chords and the tubas are AMAZING!!!!
We are musically talented, instrumentally creative and have sound of no other. Thats why we are on top of the Marching Band World. There are no holes in our music and we play together. Our band does not try to blast you out of the stadium. We are consistent on the field, on the stage and in the class room!!! Take notes and when we are on the field during halftime thats class time for you. Bethune-Cookman Marching Wildcats!!!
Like Bethune Cookman version the best
Shout out to one of the greatest funk bands of all time, Cameo, for creating this legendary tune!
Alabama A&M plays it the best period
Correct ✌ that Tuba breakdown is something !
Real talk while at Norfolk State, I thought we was the only ones that actually played it
how could you not have ga
ambling in this when neck is damn near the school song
JSU rocked that thang out. I give it to BC for having a different version and it jammed
Who's playing the credits ? Cause that's the best of all
Nene J Vlogs that's a jwpepper arrangement
That was "Drumline Live" in the credits. Not a college band.
Stra8 UP!!!!
They are all pretty good. To me the winner goes to BCU. The Tubas made the difference for sure.
FAMU Southern BCU & JSU
I played in TSU's Ocean of Soul in the 80's and will challenge anybody to find an early version of Neck than the halftime show TSU vs JSU 1984 when the song first came out. TSU is still playing the original version we played and has played it every year since. Count it 29 years and going. Also 1984 Ocean was the first to play Tribute to Bob Marley. Not bragging just the facts.
i march for the ocean now! can confirm we play neck the same way 👍🏾
Oh yes Big Brother T! We’ll challenge ANYBODY who’s says different. TXSU arranged and played Neck FIRST when Cameo first put it out in 1984. #Ocean🌊 #NeverDuplicated
NSU all day long!!! Behold the GREEN and GOLD
Southern University got the best Neck Arrangement in the world
I'm sorry ya'll but FAMU's Marching 100 in my opinion took it to a whole new level, when they started singing in harmony! ...and that funky bass line remix! Yes Suh!!!
Marching 100 ALL Day!
im sorry calvin, this guy letson puts lsu name in the hat and they're not involved in the comparison nor FSU im just agitating him because i don't like lsu, but them Southern University boyz tops the neck comparison playa !!
No sir! 100 all day everyday!!
iyounh954 all day without fail
I liked South Carolina State.
That tuba Solo
Who were those 3 kids in Southern's band that looked like they were in time out. lol.
Robert Thomas I
Robert Thomas they forgot they instruments in the band room b4 they got on the bus😂😂😂
😂😂💀
UAPB has a nice rendition of this as well, nice vid thumbs up
1.JSU
2.BCU
3.SU
4.TXSU
5.Famu
6.SCSU
7.NSU
8.ASU
Sorry nothing beats the original "Human Jukebox" Sssssss U
I refused to go there because the Sousas played WAY too many high notes 😭
@@reggieb5324 yeah them some lung burners 😂😂
#NoFilter I wonder if I’ll be eligible after I get out.. I mean I’m only 22 lol
@@reggieb5324 lol should be
Txsu hands down
totally agree
The best one I've hears was UAPB
SCSU has the best version of Neck
RaSantos I'd say the most original version. Their's is definitely unique.
Southern killed it!! #Swca
I placed it in the credits, but if you didn't catch it the last arrangement of "Neck" is played by Drumline Live arranged by Raymond James Rolle II
Southern Univeristy all day!!! Go Jags!!! #1 always
Cookman hands down got this one on lock. That swing it way better. The tubas crank hard too. Got forget the band singing in 3 part harmony as well. Another level. Shout to all the HBCUs though.
A very nice post! I enjoyed that. I am a CSU alumna. I wonder what the Marauders do with this song?
Ocean of soul!! 🌊🌊🌊
when it comes down to arrangement, perfect ratio between balance, precision/accuracy, and power (from top to bottom..you have to have a solid tuba line) then I have to give it to BCU
Can we get an updated version? Like something from the 2000s?! Ijs
It's between SCSU OR BCU
Neck will never get old. Coming from someone that was class of 2005 Camden Fairview High
JSU hands down!
Never heard UAPB, but I love the way Tennessee State plays it. We play UAPB for homecoming this year so I'll have to check them out. All of the bands sound good though.
Yes i love that last one..
the boom edges out su in this video.
but I must admit uapb is the best I've ever heard play it.
Love the boom!
And the BASS is the icing on the cake!!
Although I am a Marching 101 Alumni,From a musical professional's view point, I have to take my hat off to BCU. Although SU has the power behind theirs, BCU is just that balance between arrangement, power, and cleanliness. You may now bring on the negative comments.
I played Tuba @ Morgan and I was not feeling Bethune but FAM was nuts with it the cymbal line SHEESH!!!
I have heard this song probably 1000 times and no band plays like "The World Famed" Grambling State University Marching Band. As they say, "often imitated but never duplicated."
HAHA. Grambling ass boy .
SirGeekz Sorry sir but I did not attend Grambling State University.
grambling is the best fa sho
Gram has the best composition of Neck.
As most people here choose sides on whose band is better, I see this video as getting into the spirit of football. Being in the stands watching the game and listening to the band belt out their music. To hear NECK is to be at a game, love it!!!
SU all day. Hands down. Even though famu has a very similar composition of the song. But the sheer size of famu gives them a powerful sound. But su is smaller and packs a bigger punch
JSU sounds the best,then maybe TxSu or SU!The band at the end turned it into a gospel praise song,lol.I thought them lil boys caught the ghost,lol!
NORFOLK STATE has the best hands down. The other bands were good too... just my opinion.
Bama State...good tempo---would be flawless with SCSU's tuba part...parts have nice features...love the call and answer part with the trumpets...NICE!
I really really hate criticizing people's band videos, but dude, I'm reluctant to do so. With a Classic song like neck, as long as it's been around, You couldn't get better footage of these bands to do an unintentional bias comparison?. and i say, unintentional because I'd like to think you didn't choose these particular clips to make some bands stand out more than others.
I agree 100%. There is no way (hopefully) that these performances were anywhere near the level these college bands should be able to play. And many bands around the country far better with this song than any of these.
Central State Version is dope too!! The not featured, but they sounded great at the Chicago football classic last year!
The best version by far is when the credits are rolling. That shit is rocking!
Come On Now; We ALL Know Who Got The BEST Neck! SU Human Jukebox! But I Liked SCSU! They Murdered It! Love The Arrangements.
Who is playing during the credits?! That version of NECK is EVERYTHING!!!!
just to think that my dad and mom went there...im in my high school band right now...cant wait to go to TSU!
Good video...Why is GSU (Grambling State University) not in this?... I saw many other SWAC bands!
I completely agree here!!!
Who did the computer version during credits? That was wavy...
The best one was played during the credits
That was "Drumline Live" in the credits. Not a college band.
Listen to them quads for BCU🔥🔥🔥
Howard has a great arrangement for this song too, Very smooth
I like Bethune and Famu versions best. The one during credits tops them all.
that end credit arrangement to neck was the best one to me
texas southern has the original neck played in 1984
casey green, No way Green, Grambling is the original, Grambling World Famed Band was the first, it was the tube section that started it. As the tubes played Neck bass line other brass sections got in on the party. One weekend later World Famed played Neck over and over during the game against Texas Southern. Neck was nothing but drums and brass.
@@dawolf373 you know your history!
Da Wolf I’m a Texas Southern fan and even I know the World Famed Grambling are the originals
Boy yawl want to be above TSU so bad when it comes to this, damn at least give them that. TSU is the original band that started playing Neck! Show me a video of GSU playing neck in the 80’s untill than TSU is the original Neck slayers PERIOD
Jackson smashing this song!!!! the arrangement...so so, but delivery on 100
Bethune my goodness!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tennessee State has the best Neck Arrangement
Hands down scsu!!!!listen to those parts...crank!!!!
Yo where pine bluff @ they have a good version of neck i love it im ready to go there n b apart of krank n m4
South Carolina State University Marching 101 has the best neck hands down!!!
true, that is the BEST VERSION
What arrangement was that during the end credits
I loved the version at the ending credits as well, and didn't see a response to the questions as to who it was. I looked closely at the credits again....its the audio of Drumline Live's version of Neck...
sonic boom of the South hands down
yes sir
