Side note: I filmed this at my folks house... IS ANYONE ELSE TERRIFIED THAT THEY JUST HAD ALL THIS STUFF LYING AROUND?! I mean... i thought I knew those people. My life is a lie...

Geoff: I wouldn't call myself a bass, I am much more comfortable in a baritone range.
Also geoff:

[Greenpuggie]

I want to hear this man sing Sound of Silence! That would be INSANE!

[FloraDLady]

I can't get over the fact that he looks like a Disney hero with a Disney villain's voice.

[N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S.]

Geoff: "I would never ever call myself a true bass."
Also Geoff: *a F1 to shake the Earth out of its orbit*

[phoenixfaye]

Geoff's shocked look when the heads start singing is hilarious. XD

[MatopotatoIsDangNifty]

if Disney doesn't hire you as a villain then they're missing out

WELL DAMN GEOFF

[timothybuell]

One of the things that I love about Geoff is that his diction is so good, no matter what octave he's in, or what effect he is pulling off with his voice. A lot of basses can hit low notes but the lyrics get very muddy and just sound like a rumble. Geoff is very musical throughout his range.

[ushere]

what amazes me most, perhaps, is geoff's bouncy, bouncy bass. he hits those subterranean low notes while still keeping the most light, lively bounce to his voice. this song is fast! yet geoff's voice is never heavy. them's some limber vocal cords!

[PhantomSavage]

Its really obscure, but a song that Geoff absolutely HAS to sing at some point is an extended version of the song of the Phantom Train in that one halloween episode of Hey Arnold called "The Train 25"

I'm still haunted by that conductor's bass voice all these years later and a Geoff cover might destroy my brain.

[compexecipse]

The year is now 2035, Geoff easily hits negative octaves and the headless horseman still cannot touch Geoff's head because of his perfect hair

Now gather 'round
While I elucidate
On what happens outside when it gets late
’Long about midnight
The ghosts and banshees
Get together for their nightly jamborees

There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes
And some with fangs about this size
Some short and fat
Some tall and thin
Some don't even bother to wear their skin!

Well I'm tellin' you, brother
It's a frightful sight
To see what goes on in the night!

When the ghosts have a midnight jamboree
They break it up with fiendish glee
Spooks are bad, but the one that's cursed
Is the Headless Horseman: He's the worst

When that he goes a-joggin' across the land
Holdin' a noggin in his hand
The demons take one look and groan
And hit the road for parts unknown

(And there's no wraith like a spook that's spurned
They don't like him and he's really burned!
He swears to the longest day he's dead)

That he'll show them that he can get a head!

(The Headless Horseman needs a head!
The Headless Horseman needs a head!)

So close all the windows
Lock the doors
Unless you're careful, he'll get yours
Don't think he'll hesitate a bit
’Cause he'll tip your top if it'll fit

And he likes them little, likes them big
(Part in the middle or a wig)
Black or white or even red
(The head)
The Headless Horseman needs a head!

(The Headless Horseman needs a head!
The Headless Horseman needs a head!)

It's after midnight, so listen good!
Better stay at home, like you should
'Cause right outside, and waitin' there

(Is the Headless Horseman!!)

Beware!

(With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop
He's out lookin' for a top to chop
So don't stop to figure out a plan)

You can't reason with a headless man!

[maeco]

Did anyone wearing headphones notice how Geoff's voice panned from left to right and back from about 1:50-1:58? That's a super fun subtle effect!

[sorayaforest]

Now gather round while I elucidate
On what happens outside, when it gets late
Along about midnight, the ghosts and banshees
Get together for their nightly jamborees
There's ghosts with horns and saucer-eyes
And some with fangs about this size
Some short and fat, some tall and thin
And some don't even bother to wear their skin
When I'm telling you brother, it's a frightful sight
To see what goes on, in the night
When the ghosts have a midnight jamboree
They break it up with a fiendish glee
Spooks are bad but thе one that's cursed
Is the Hеadless Horseman, he's the worst
When he goes a joggin' across the land
A holdin' his noggin in his hand
The demons take one look and groan
And hit the road for parts unknown
And there's no wraith like a spook that's spurned
They don't like him and he's really burned
Swear through the longest day he's dead
Yeah he'll show them that he can, get ahead
The Headless Horseman needs a head
The Headless Horseman needs a head
So close all the windows, lock the doors
Unless you're careful, he'll get yours
But don't think he'll hesitate a bit
'Cause he'll tip your top if it'll fit
And he likes 'em little, likes 'em big
Part in the middle, or a wig
Black or white or even red
The Headless Horseman needs a head
The Headless Horseman needs a head
The Headless Horseman needs a head
It's after midnight so, listen good
Better stay at home, like you should
'Cause right outside and waiting there
Is the Headless Horseman
Beware!
With a hip-hip and a clippety clop
He's out lookin' for a head to chop
So don't stop to figure out a plan
You cannot reason with a headless man

"No Geoff's had their hair cut for this performance." 🤣🤣🤣

Hopefully also no Geoff's heads were cut for this performance, or do we have to be worried? There's... literally Jiff, Goeff and Jeph's heads lying on the table, I believe. May they RIP, 3 of Geoff's clones bravely lost their heads for the production of this video, we'll never forget their sacrifice. That's what I call dedication!

[tommyboy]

Honestly, at this point I feel like Geoff's just telling us that he's not human XD

[sofiapark]

*Person "So, what's your range?"
*Geoff "Yes."

[melissastruxness]

I watched the movie this song goes with every single Halloween growing up. Bing Crosby narrated and sang it along with Mr. Toad to start with. This is the most awesome reminder of my childhood. Geoff is not only an amazing singer and character actor but dang the man is handsome. Don’t get me wrong I am married and way older than him but I can look lol

[theproblemwithbeingawake]

I think this is one of the most impressive, and hidden songs in the world. I must’ve listened to it over 50 times and I can’t stop my body from dancing. If that’s not what music is about, what is?
