The Unaccompanied Minors are the University of Waterloo's premier mixed-voice, a cappella group. The Minors consist of around 20 musically talented students who have been singing, beatboxing, and rocking out to everything from top 40 hits to rock classics since 2009. Focusing on blend, musicality, and performance, the Minors have been spreading the aca-love wherever they go.
From the Kitchener-Waterloo Area at campus events like TEDxUW, to the United States to compete at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella, the Minors have blown away audiences with their outstanding arrangements and enthusiasm.
In 2021, the Unaccompanied Minors placed 3rd at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) Central Semifinal! They also won the Grand Prize at the 2021 Sing! Toronto Collegiate A Cappella Competition.
She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me (get out the way, yo) Bang, bang Ah, there she goes again, the girl is Ethiopian In other words, she came through explodin' in the podium Dynamite Napoleon like sodium mixed with petroleum Slowly but surely, she was walking toward me Cut the convo' short 'cause she had to wake up early But continuing the story Don't worry she gave me digits for her Blackberry "You're very handsome" is what she said And the way she looked in my eyes said, "Put me to bed" Oh my, oh my, I should have known when she said to me on the phone "You do not know me very well, but I would never hurt a fly" Then she aimed for my chest with love in her eye Said she aimed for my chest with love in her eye She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang Scorpion, she's so hot she's a scorch-ian Killing me softly, Lauryn or Kevorkian Couldn't tell if she's cuckoo or quirky, when I asked her her name she said, "Call me Ten" Testing, testing Things just got more interesting She's dressed in a vest pin, double-breasted holster A very Western toaster She ain't nothing Kosher Ah, she lets me closer Hotter than a pepper-crusted Samosa While I try to keep my composure She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang Am I wrong? But what is love without the pain to go along? And what is pain if not the reason for me to sing this song? And this song is for the weak and for the strong 'Cause I was strong and still She got me, she got me Bang, bang, she got me She got me, she got me Bang, bang She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. It explores the discordant moments in this song so masterfully and made me realize how complex the original is. Also a really genius buildup to the end especially with the beats coming in. Well done!
Okay. I went searching, and I mean like, this would keep me up all night if I wasn't satisfied levels of searching, for an acapella cover of Some Nights. This was the one that did it. Forget the auto-tuned RU-vid pros, forget the single person covers, forget the wide shots and dramatic angles. Something so raw, that's exactly what I wanted, and congratulations guys, you did it. You made it raw, you made it real, and you made it fun to listen to. My ears are happy, my brain is at peace, and thanks to you guys, I can sleep at night. Oh, and one more thing. The lead singer, pretty much perfect recreation of the original vocals, auto-tune section and everything.
