if pop music was barbershop (FULL TRANSCRIPTION)

Note about the key: The drift upward in pitch but I wrote it in what I'm pretty sure is the original key it's supposed to be in. Hope that clears up any confusion!

Edit: 2nd measure should be a G# in the lead.

I LOVE that the modern song that they open with is heading on for a quarter of a century old already.

[Murrlin]

Well it looks like I found the Rabbit Hole of youtube again <3

"All about that bass" actually sounded right as a barbershop quartet.

[darrinrice]

I've sung everything from hymns and classical to madrigal and modern music, and I can tell you categorically that this style is immensely technically difficult.

It requires very strong vocal physiology, prefect pitch, a precise "ear" able to overcome acoustically variant venues...

That these guys are able to make it look easy is testament to an extremely highly honed of skill and talent.

SERIOUS PROPS.

Barbershop has to be the most underrated music genre of all time, i genuinly dont see how you can NOT like it

[Deborita]

I know a guy who has sung competitive barbershop. He's an amazing Tenor. Singing this level of barbershop is NOT easy. A lot of technique, skill, practice and talent on loan from God. It's a wonderful a fun musical art form.

Barbershop is the frosted 4- tier - and -a- topper -wedding -cake -of vocal music.

These groups' harmony is always spectacular, and I love the fact that they can make fun of themselves.

This was ear candy and comedy genius at the same time. I have to say thank you for random YouTube scrolling because this popped up and absolutely made my afternoon! I can't wait to hear more. ❤

That was awesome! I worked at Walt Disney World for 3 years and because I worked on Main Street, I was blessed to be sung to many times by the Barber Shop Quartet. It was definitely one of the perks of working there.

These gents are perfection! I used to sing with Sweet Adelines. I was quite young (late teens) and musically nerdy, but was welcomed whole-heartedly. Difficult stuff, and also beyond fun. When you hear the overtones ringing, you know you've nailed it!

My father loved and sang barbershop with his father and brothers. He would play his Buffalo Bills records, and we would sing along at home, which is how I learned to sing. Sadly he is gone now, but I found his old competition badge in his dresser drawer, and I kept it. Your performance was outstanding and brought a happy tear to my eye. Thank you!

[garym]

I sang in a Barbershop chorus and quartet for five years. That was thirty years ago and is one of my lifes favorite memories, the hair on my arms still stands up when I hear a bell chord . Well done, brothers! Long live SPEBSQSA!!

[TheKingofRome]

I love all these transcriptions they make for incredible teaching aids

[BonnieBuggie]

my family knows some of these guys! we made friends with some of the dapper dans at disney world years ago, and “main street” is one of the group names they use when performing outside of disney! they’re all such fantastic guys

[EBThisThat]

Their annunciation is incredible and their harmony is unreal ! Respect!

The truly amazing thing to me is that Barbershop is the only style of a cappella music that is not pitch corrected. Even my favorites (Pentatonix and Home Free) have their releases pitch-corrected to death.

[iluvpugstoo]

There should be a 'Love' button. Outstanding vocals. These guys are awesome !
