Acapella version of Alt-J's Fitzpleasure. A Social Partsong 2013 Adapted by Baum, led and organised by Codrington. And YES they all know what the lyrics are about as do the audience.
to everyone saying the tempo was fast: they probably didn’t rehearse this fast but as jitters and excitement can come along with performing such a fun piece, it’s very easy to speed up tempo just a little bit and once that tempo is set- it’s better to keep it rather than change it as it would jumble everyone up! all about unison and they did awesome! sucks i’m 8 years late to watching this 😂
That was brilliant but I couldn't help finding it a bit of a weird choice of song to sing to your school, considering what it's about. Haha. Really good though!
+SPE RPROO Actually the song was based on a book entitled "last exit to Brooklyn" and if you had actually read it, you would know that it was about a prostitute whom was gang raped, then murdered...
The lyrics they're saying are literally "In your snatch fits pleasure, broom shaped pleasure" That's awkward that a bunch of boys are singing about gangrape to an assembly of children.
@Dusty I’m not hating on the song, it just feels VERY off that underaged white boys would sing this to what looks to be a room full of even younger school boys. It’s just not in good taste or none of them have any idea what the lyrics are saying
The timing is very off. Especially from someone who has heard the song several times. It's still awkward to see a group of teen boys performing a song about gang rape.
Second kid from the left (at least I think it's him) is amazing on the high notes. Just listen to 0:45 and 1:11 onward for example, he sounds like an opera singer!
Mate, I am the guy on the far left, singing falsetto - my friend posted the comment, but he's right. If you listen to our music, you might not recognise my voice because I mostly sing in baritone in the band. Listen to a song like Secant, or at points in On The Shoreward Edge, and you can hear me singing falsetto. I don't expect you to like it, but that is me.
I just had a thought - I think its so fast to ensure they all sing at the same time. the beginning is especially hard to keep up with exactly. but thats just my guess?
I respect them for choosing such a difficult (and quite frankly, weird ((nothing wrong with that, this is my favorite of Alt-J)) song. It was a commendable attempt.
Most people when the scream for the United States to implement more socialist polices dont realize that the majority of the countries that utilize such policies are extremely homogeneous and often overwhelmingly caucasian
Well obviously you haven't been in an A Capella group before. It's not so important as it to be the copy of the original rather, your take on that song. And I believe they interpreted their own style in this song rather lively.
Why is there so much hate? Jesus. Not everyone can sing like Joe. And they did great, why don't you guys try and do it before you go and comment nasty things when you probably couldn't even do it half as well as these dudes did.
charlie Yes, thank you, I was thinking that too Someone was like 'You think that is good? Well then you obciously have no sense of pitch and the right speed' Like, those guys do this as their hobby, have been reherarsing for it for a few weeks maybe in a f* school club. How are they supposed to be as good as professionals with instruments ans so on?! I think this was amazing.
Scrotie Wantubsis black people have choirs and acapella groups and cover songs at talent shows all the time. idk what you mean by indie, maybe that's the difference?
swiftset Yeah, indie is the main difference. Name 2 popular indie bands with 1+ black people in it, it's really rare. Like as rare as a black dude with black-rimmed glasses and Hitler's youth hipster-cut.
