"Mele Kalikimaka" was a hit for Bing Crosby in the 1950's and quickly became a holiday staple. It's been heard in feature films and Christmas playlists for decades and is a wonderfully, cheesy, perfect, Christmas song.
This version of "Mele Kalikimaka" was produced and arranged by yours truly FEATURING The American Sirens:
Rachel Copeland Evans
Lindsay Flick Cardona
Alejandra Martinez
The American Sirens are Choreographed by Alejandra Martinez
Audio Mix by The very spirited Ed Boyer.
Camera work and Assistant Direction by Kyle Massey
Production Manager: Kathy Castellucci
Filmed at Orange Studio in Orlando, FL
Thanks again for watching, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, & stay tuned...

BTW, It's incredibly difficult to sing in harmony, perform for the camera, dance, act, and look good doing it. ALL WHILE WEARING 4 INCH HEELS. Can we please have a moment of awe and respect for these 3 ladies? FOLLOW THEM, Please and thank you ;)
The Next Day:
The Boss: Geoff, may I see you for a minute?
Geoff: *walks in*
The Boss: *shows security footage of Geoff singing and dancing absolutely alone with no one while he pretends there are people there*
Geoff: *nervous look on his face*
The Boss: Should I be worried about this?
I hope Geoff sees this comment
Such underrated comment🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great comment! 😂
This comment describes what would happen if Geoff was hallucinating
You do realize that I do that in my office all the time (although I don't sing as well as Geoff). My bosses just pretend they don't see the security video.
1:00 love that his first impulse upon hallucinating is to sing countermelody.
ikr 😂like
"oh my god where did these ladies come from" O_O
"nvm they are singing a song sooo" :o (and he's singing along)
Not to compare, but isn’t that everyone’s usual response- my default is to assume they are real until proven otherwise. “A Beautiful Mind” and all that.
I almost spit my soda on my computer when I read that comment.
@@martystrasinger3801 life is just better that way tbh
@@jonathanfairchild I concur 100%!
Hey ya'll thanks for watching! Special shout out to The American Sirens, who were just PERFECT in this video. They showed up and knocked it out of the park and made this video extra special. If you get a moment, please follow them at the links in the description. Thanks everyone!
Thanks to you!!! Of course! They are really amazing!
You sound great together
Thank you Geoff!! We were so honored to do this song with you!! The highlight of the season! ♥️♥️♥️
Done 😊 Thanks for bringing them to our attention!
@@TheAmericanSirens You are really really AMAZING!!! WOW... Thank you for giving us this beautiful gift! Greetings from Colombia!! by the way, I already subscribed to your channel and shared your videos!!! God keep blessing you more! 😘😘😘
His face when he opens his eyes though...acting perfection
He's completely confused while at the same time just going with it.
@@Ironlantern723 you just summed up 2020....
@@phalcon23 lmaoooo
plot twist, they were burglars, came in on set and just acted with him to try and blend in
I like how Geoff isn’t afraid to step away from acapella. Great work, man!
I AM afraid. But i do it anyway ;)
@@GeoffCastellucci even better then
@@GeoffCastellucci and you do it perfectly!
@@GeoffCastellucci I am gay🏳️🌈
@@onecolossalrubikscube2554 who asked. That's so random
The look on Geoff's face at 1:00.
In Geoff's head: "How did you get into my office?"
Geoff as much as I loved this video I have to tell you my Mom loved it even more. I shared the pre-release with her and she's been watching it repeatedly all week. Once she came down in a panic (she lives in an apartment above my garage) because she had accidently deleted the link. You have to understand that my 79 year old Mom lives & breathes the band "Queen" and Freddie Mercury; listens to their music incessantly, watches documentaries, has seen the movie Bohemian Rhapsody at least 20 times, wears Queen t-shirts, etc. but yesterday she told me that you were her favorite singer after Queen. This basically raises you to legend status in our household! Also, she thinks you are a very handsome "young man" so I'm suppose to tell you to stop worrying about turning 40. 😁
This comment is incredible. Tell your mom i said hi!
😍
@@GeoffCastellucci woah you must be feeling happy it's a huge honor to be loved like that haha you deserve it you're such a good singer and an all around kind person and very much a family man I would LOVE to meet you when I can
You have a very cool mom, Jamie. She sounds fun to be with.
@@restingcatface Thank you Liz. For an old broad, I am very musically oriented to the music of he 60's on up. Love Geoff's voice!
Geoff: exists
Everyone watching: Falling and fainting before his incredible voice
1:01 the expression on Geoff's face is my entire being
Should collab with the American sirens more often
The one hundred and seventy-nine dislikes are people that are jealous they cant be as talented as either Geoff or the Sirens

How is this 19 hours ago?
Two people love Geoff's low notes so much that they already indicated that with thumbs pointed in the downward direction, that's dedication!
Very creative comment👏🏻😅
And they have been removed. You rock!
1:00 that look you give when your startled by people singing along with you that didn't know they were there
Had that moment once and gave the exact look

@@AusTheBassBoss yes I saw your list first :-)
I love Geoff absolutely nailing the face of “i didn’t realise this was a fantasy i had but i’m not complaining that it’s happened”
Expected another one of Geoff, Jeff Jiff and Göff, was surprised, but absolutely not in a bad way.
The clones are just too much of a hassle to work with.🤣
@Alexandria Hauser I imagine being bodyless would bring out their diva-ness even more....
Especially since Joff is no more, he got eaten by a horse, as Geoff told me personally before the premiere of "Headless Horseman"
@@nicholasw.3488 Oh no, poor Joff!
You should have seen how long he spent doing his hair and getting stuffed into those dresses.
My best friend's 4-month old baby LOVES this. He loves your voice. We discovered that when he starts crying, if we load this up on the TV for him, he stops crying as soon as he hears your voice. He seems to like other songs with your singing as well. The first time we showed him this video he was trying to dance to it.
oh my god, that's so cute -
Seeing the comments from people who don’t realize this was showing us what was going on in his mind is a bonus.
Wow. Those ladies are giving me that 40s, 50s, 60s vibe of the traveling trios with a modern touch. Well done.
I agree they remind me of the Andew sisters of the 40s and 50s
So Geoff didn’t pass the office drug test...he’s clearly hallucinating
Oh hi marc
I just literally laughed out loud reading this comment XD
YES! That's what I thought too... or maybe it's like a carbon monoxide thing? Hypoxia?
@@GeoffCastellucci it's obviously the same gas leak that affected the community episodes in all of season 4
Waiting for the low notes marcello.
His voice is so good you can see the twinkle in the ladies’ eyes
No, wait. This is a mini horror movie, isn't it? I mean: Geoff is still wearing that necklace at the end of the song that was not there in the beginning. And that little tree didn't have those hula dancer ornaments, either! So we know it wasn't *just* an hallucination.
Were the American Sirens transformed into ornaments for someone's amusement? Why is Geoff alone in the office?! What happened to all his coworkers?! This is a *grown-up's* Nightmare before Christmas!
Ok this comment needs lots of attention
@@nicholasw.3488 Thank you...
And, oops! I think a plot bunny just hopped into my brain: The American Sirens are magical beings who transformed *themselves* into ornaments, so they could travel with Geoff incognito (a bit like the wooden doll in the Russian folktale Vasilisa the Beautiful). And together, they go on a quest around the world, defeating evil through the power of song. Yes?
The biggest part of this nightmare before Christmas is that he's at work.
When his dream ended, he still had the necklace. So, was it really a dream?

You ladies were fabulous!! Hope we get a chance to see another collab one day ❤️
Absolutely loving this song
Best looking hallucinations I’ve ever seen
how much practice did you need to do @1:22? you guys sound amazing.
🎉🥳😎
Hi Geoff-I am Jamie T's 79 year old fanatic Queen fan mom, but you come in a very close second. Love your voice.
❤💚❤💚 I saw your child's post above explaining the same! His voice, rhythm and style are so good!
awww that's so cute! :D
Lyrics:

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say Merry Christmas to you
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night (and all the stars at night)
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say Merry Christmas to you

(Merry Christmas to all and a big hug from México)
thank youuuuu
1:00 his face is so genuine i honestly can’t tell if he’s acting lol,
Dude! I felt the earth shake. Geoff's bass is so crisp!
I'm not exactly fond of this song, but I know for a fact that after I hear Geoff do it, it'll be my new favorite
Speaking as someone who never cared for this song, and has already heard Geoff's version...you're right 😁 it's so catchy and it's just...so damn good
@@DarkEmpress86 oh my gosh I can't wait 😁
@@drewcomparato111 I was the complete opposite. I love the original, so I was worried I wouldn't care for Geoff's version. Very happy to say that was not the case!
Amazing - the best version of this beautiful Christmas song, in my opinion. Love Geoff's surprise look at 1:00 seeing three beauties.
I keep laughing at the face Geoff makes at 1:00 when the ladies show up. It's *hilarious*!
Description says "It's incredibly difficult to sing in harmony, perform for the camera, dance, act, and look good doing it."
I totally thought he was talking about himself, so the wearing 4 inch heels part kinda caught me off guard. :D By the way congratulations Geoff, you four are annoyingly talented even without heels.
I'm speaking from experience here, i HAVE done that. It's not easy. The Sirens make it look TOO effortless. It's like they're not real or something... like they're conjured up from my brain meat...
@@GeoffCastellucci is there a Rocky Horror live performance we should know about?
@@GeoffCastellucci "from experience" ok soooo..... when do we get a Little Mermaid 2 medley with you as ursula and 4 inch heels?
@@kd5nrh I think Geoff talks about playing Frankenstein’s monster in Universal Studio in 4-inch platform shoes for 10 years
I thought that too
Geoff's very warm voice adds authenticity to this tropical Christmas greetings.
Im from hawaii and i heard this song so many times in the mall when i was a kid so im so happy with geoff doing this song. Much love
I can't get over how in sync they are with their harmonies at 1:22
OMG, Geoff's facial expressions really put the icing on the cake...everything he touches is phenomenal and I guess he can sing a little too ;) Awesome arrangement Geoff as always.
There are moments his voice sounds like it takes on a bit of a country twang and in those moments his voice reminds me of Trace Adkins. I've always loved this song. Well done! And I'm not comparing him to Trace Adkins, I'm just saying that in those moments it reminds me of him.
How did i miss this one 3 years ago? Greatness!
Geoffs singing is enough to make anyone’s day better. Geoff is so awesome
I love it so much. I'm so glad everyone will get to see it soon.
Same! And that I will be able to send it to my friends and share everywhere ❤️
I honestly love Geoff’s music videos! His sense of humor is on point
Mele Kalikimaka to you Geoff
This was beautiful
*Mele Kalikimaka
aww
wait wait wait... i see your comments on voiceplay all the time, aren't you a member?
@@kittycat4797 noo J None is the name of one Voiceplay member..?
I realize that I'm a year late with the comment, but I didn't know about Geoff or Voiceplay until recently. EVERY song by both Geoff & Voiceplay are A1 EXCELLENT!!!! I thought this was a "Mr. Sandman" cover by the Chordettes. Boy was I surprised!!! Beautiful arrangement of a wonderful Christmas classic!! Geoff hits this one out of the park, & the SIRENS are beautiful dolls too!!!
Wow! Three super-smooth mezzo-sopranoes and a basso profundo. The contrast amplifies all of them.
1:00
Geoff's facial expression is just perfect!
Im a New Fan as Of a few Days Ago
When I Saw The Grinch then Oogie Boogie
I Became An Instant Fan
Love Geoff's Voice
I love how Geoff gives away his southern roots in the very first sentence..."thang to say" whether intentional or not. Appreciation from one Florida born southerner to another.
Im a Texas born southerner
I have a couple things to say, 1) I love how confused he looks at 1:00, 2) I looked at and subscribed to American Sirens, they have that classic feel to them, and 3) Merry Chrismas Everyone!!!, God Bless.
The first Geoff cover I was able to sing from the start up to the end. Will forever be one of my favorite songs 😊
Gorgeous blending of voices. Like maple syrup and brown sugar. I hope the Sirens will do more collaborations with Geoff and the rest of VoicePlay in the future.
That would be a dream ♥️
I love that look at 1:05 and that doesn't miss a beat despite it.
that mr sandman intro
My mom lives in Hawaii... this song is played so much in the tourist districts over the holidays that I had grown to hate it ... Thanks for giving it a much deserved new cover. ❤️
the best rendition of this song
While the credit at the end is appreciated, Geoff, it's a privilege to play a small part in helping things like this happen.
I'm starting every day until I'm finished with work for the year with this. 😊
Its funny I used to say Geoff is the reason I worked on my lower notes with subharmonics, because I'm a bass-barritone. Now I say hes the reason I'm working on my upper register head voice. He is my hero
Liked this song when Bing Crosby did it. Not disappointed with this version in the slightest. Geoff’s range always amazes me. Singing harmony when the Sirens come in, then dropping to the bass later on.
Geoff’s range is crazy! We thought our alto Ale sang low.... but Geoff has those bass notes that make your chest rumble. We adore him
Geoff, when you said, "BTW, It's incredibly difficult to sing in harmony, perform for the camera, dance, act, and look good doing it," I was nodding along and saying, "Well, Geoff, you managed it perfectly!" Then you mentioned the four-inch heels, and I was very confused, since those shoes you had on were not that high-heeled!
It took me a moment, but then I figured it out. I had to laugh at myself! But you're right! The American Sirens did a fantastic job! All of that, and in four-inch heels! Yeah!
Oh my god, that base run at 2:02 is AMAZING
Poor Geoff so shocked when they showed up😂😂😂 Phenomenal as usual! Love it Geoff!
Eines der schönsten Weihnachtslieder das ich kenne, Lindsay, Ale und Rachel perfekte Stimmen und wunderschöne Damen dazu die herrliche Bassstimme von Geoffrey...Weltklasse ❤❤❤
I’m literally in love with this mans voice, I’ve listened to the song at least 20 times within the first two hours of today
Yet another day of listening to geoff’s music
i love the color in your voice at 1:04 so much, it was like a whole different singer for a moment
He sounds so different in a higher register.
How many of you remember Ale being in Once Upon a Dream, that VP did years ago? She's the lady closest to Geoff.
American Sirens are one of my new favorites❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! 😍😍😍
I’m really impressed with your comment,if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?
OH MY GOD. Geoff thank you for liking my post I have always been a fan of you and Voiceplay. You sir just made my day. THANK YOU!!!!
I don't really understand the world of artists very well or how they make money giving us their work, but I want to thank you very much for giving us the best of you, I already heard it and it is AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE as everything you do, I hope you get many successes of these efforts! For now I can only share your videos, give them a "like" and make a lot of comments, I hope it helps, but I will be on Patreon very soon! I just hope you get all the good energy and good wishes to you and your family and voice play! God protect you and bless you more !! THANKS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS !! 🥰🥰🥰
Finallyyyy!!! A "like" to my comment of Geoff, I'm happy! Thank you!!
If you can afford it you can support him on patreon 🤗
@@Waffle00_ Oh yeah, you're right, but believe me, it's not for money, because 1, 5, 10, 20 and the 45 dollars that he puts on Patreon are very little, for what his work is really worth, and I don't mind paying what Either to see him or have him close, but my husband is not very understanding of his wife's tastes ... 😭😁
@@miletordonez6821 😅
This is awesome. I love how Geoff both leads and blend with The American Sirens, and how they mixed in the A Capella start of Mr Sandman before going into Mele Kalikimaka. LOVE IT
Eight years ago, today, a dear friend passed away. This was his favorite Christmas song. Thank you for this, it brought me to tears and years of happy memories.
This is beautiful. ♥️ sending you love today
The perfect tribute to your years of friendship. This is so touching ♥️
Omfg his facial expressions are the BEST
I was today years old when I learned that this is my favorite version of this song and need it in my life
A little of that "bein born in the summer of your 27th year" action, eh?
HAPPY 1 MIL ON THIS VIDEO GEOFF!!!
Mr. Castellucci, if you were to cut a solo album, you'd top the charts!
I love to see how Geoff actually interacts with us here in the comments, this guy that we all adore, and wish we could be, yet he's humble about it all. Anyway, Great work as always
Geoff is one of those rare, exceptionally talented, modern artists who never put out a bad song. I hope to see him achieve the greatness his God-Given talent deserves.
Rachel (the one in the middle) is an absolute doll.
AMAZING AS ALWAYS!!!! THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 1:45 dance's Geoff...
He has a gorgeous voice 😍
My new favorite Christmas song!
Why did it take me so long to find this angel
Geoff every song you sing buy yourself or with other people are just amazing. With that voice you could truly sing any song and make it sound out of this world. Your voice is god like. Keep up the amazing work.
My 11 year old and I enjoyed watching this. He has a really high voice (for now) and was amazed at this bass version. We're Bing fans. :)
Bing and the Andrew Sister's would be very proud
His face when the hallucination started made me cackle XD
😳 ...oh...my!!!
You have become MY FAVORITE VOICE!
My new favorite seasonal song!! Also thanks for turning me on to Thurle!!
very very beautiful. thanks. merry christmas for all of you
When I come back in my next life I want a voice just like Geoff's!
I bet Geoff and the ladies sound as good as they look.
*it's actually better than expected
Better honestly
Genuinely enjoyed that
I love the bass notes that add punch to so many videos, and this one isn't as obviously bassy, but it is in that sweet spot of Geoff's voice. It lives in that range where his voice is just smooth and perfect, with just enough low (and high) notes to wow us. And the American Siren's add a lovely counternote. It's such a pleasure to listen to, and the understated humor of the video is a joy. I keep playing it on repeat - I cannot get enough.
It surprises me that Geoff, my guy, is able to do what he loves enjoying with either Voiceplay or by himself.
As a frustrated bass singer, Geoff is one I listen to over and over and try to match. Also, I love how Geoff gave room for the American Sirens to shine. Very gracious.
Merry Christmas everyone 😊❤️❤️
I love when the girls appear Geoff starts to question where he is
This looks like a Christmas advertisement, it is amazing
