Seth MacFarlane singing Joey, Joey, Joey from BBC Proms 2012 - Broadway Sound 

Who knew that such a master of irony in humour would not only be a singer, but take on a hopelessly romantic song such as this.Some people have so much talent it's frightening.

This performance is flawless. Incredible technique, vocals and delivery. Perfect.

My brother, Joe, passed away last week. My mother said she woke up humming this song softly outloud the other night She used to sing it to my brother Joe as a lullaby.

Comedian, cartoonist, movie maker, singer extraordinaire, and, of course, creator of THE ORVILLE. Freaking renaissance man ...

Seth MacFarlane has a gorgeous baritone voice and performed this song flawlessly. He'd probably be wonderful in a production of "Most Happy Fella". I've heard his "Ya Got Trouble" on RU-vid as well, and think he'd make a great Harold Hill. I'd love to hear him do "Soliloquy" from "Carousel" sometime. He definitely has the range for it.

Very nicely done. Refreshing to see a younger singer actually singing in this older more melodic style. Good voice, beautiful arrangement--just lovely!

I remember seeing this when it was first broadcast and really being struck by it. The atmosphere is just so intoxicatingly wistful. On my last night in the house I lived in at university back in 2015, it suddenly came back to me and I couldn’t get it out of my head. I laid in bed in the middle of the night and listened to it, reflecting on the time I’d spent in that place, and the prospect of leaving it, and made peace with moving on. From then on it became my ceremonial leaving song. Today I left the house of my grandmother for the last time, and in the early hours of this morning I came here once again. This performance has proved itself an invaluable companion in times of transition such as this. You can’t stay anywhere forever, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

His voice always puts my soul at ease. The vibrations from this man are unmatched.

still waiting for him to write a Broadway musical .....

Both a sensational and deeply moving performance here by Seth. He is in his best voice ever, and this simply conjures up memories of the past for me.

The Arrangement and ORCHESTRATION!!!! S T U N N I N G !!!!!💕💕💕

My goodness. His last few notes. Seth's voice just soars.

He's simply great, this is such a difficult song, never before heard it sung so perfectly!

What a guy. Good looks, great voice. He makes my heart beat faster. Only wish I was 50 yrs younger, although I'm prepared to have a heart attack.

Joey, Joey, Joey Like a perfumed woman The wind blows in the bunkhouse Like a perfumed woman Smelling of where she's been Smelling like... Oregon cherries, or maybe Texas avocados, something like Arizona sugar beans The wind blows in She sings to me Cause I'm one of her rambling kin She sings Joey, Joey, Joey Joey, Joey, Joey You've been too long In one place It's time to go Time to go, oh Joey, Joey, Joey Joey, travel on You're been too long In on town And the harvest time's Come and gone That's what the wind Sings to me When the bunk I've been Bunking in Gets to feeling too soft and coze When the grub they've been Cooking me Gets to tasting too good When I've had all I want All the ladies in the neighborhood She sings Joey, Joey, Joey Joey, travel on You've been too long In one place And it's time to go Time to go, oh Joey, Joey Joey, Joe... Frank Loesser

Sethis a National treasure, i have watched his career and voice grow, awesome rendition Seth.x

Seth enriched with so much talent!

I don't know if this sounds weird, but I would love to see Seth as The Phantom. It would be a completely different role from anything he's done, but I firmly believe he could do it. I just love hearing him sing these ballads!

Every cynic is a tormented romantic. This beautiful performance by this particular person more than proves it.😊

what a complex dude. Immensely talented, from the sublime (this) to the ridiculous (family guy). never a dull moment with Seth

A grand old song rendered impeccably by a massive talent .....

Ok that last note there is proof that he can sing classical/legit musical theatre. I am just waiting for that day to come.

I always listen to the ending twice because I'm in awe of how beautiful he is.

One of Lee Sweetland's last and among his best students. Beautifully sung, Seth.

he is stupidly beautiful and even more when he sings! xx

p.s. Now he needs to sing "Maria" from West Side Story, and I can die happy.

Super talented guy

So beautiful. So haunting.

Where is the standing ovation he deserves??!! Amazing!!

i know i will get bashed for this, but i definitely prefer to have seth macfarlane perform on broadway than have him do his family guy crap. i knew he never was a such a fantastic singer. He needs to do more of this. He has such wonderful singing abilities

Mr. MacFarlane I wish u focused more on your music. I enjoy your comedy & are a fan of your shows/ movies but this is truly amazing, I feel as if I'm listening to the rat pack where u would have belonged. Anyone reading this commet purchase his cd, music is better than words. U can buy on Amazon

I love his singing! Love his Stewie, voice too!

Don Walker deserves more recognition. Exquisite arrangement

Agree with voottee. Exquisitely beautiful.

I wanted my fan girl crush on him to go away....that worked out real well :') absolutely beautiful voice!

phenomenal!!!!

gorgeous man

WHY DOES NOBODY WATCH THESE VIDEOS? HE IS PERFECTION

HIS FACE IS FREAKING ME out man, sorry had it on caps, but what I say stands

if you always think like that youll never enjoy another male singer of this genre.

I love the way his right eyebrow moves when he sings Joey

Utterly gorgeous.

8 yrs into the future and high time u made a Proms return, Seth. You know u want it fella. [Stewie - pls kidnap him outta the past and get him into here. Thx awfully].

Unique !!! Amazingly Talented !!!!

Song from the 40's sad! He even sigs good, too. A man with many talents

This Orchestra have played "Soliloquy" from "Carousel" with Julian Ovendon singing, it is on RU-vid.

Leslie Odom Jr.'s is my favorite, but this is just so lovely~~

With all due respect to Mr Macfarlane, the finest version of Joey from The Most Happy Fella is by baritone, the late Edmund Hockridge, sensational!

Magnificent

this is true, but it's kinda cool that Seth MacFarlane was actually trained by the same old couple who trained Sinatra, so i'd say if anyone could be "crowned" the new Sinatra, MacFarlane has his foot through the door ;) just saying haha

Much more head voice than the Art Lund version, but I love them both!

GREAT!!!!!!!

amazing surprise!! he was only knowed as a comedian writer.producer .!

He could easily be on broadway what the fuck man

Adult swim asked what song I would like to listen to over and over--this is it.

SO FUCKING PERFECT AND GORGEOUS

amazing voice, but hahaha his eyebrows vibrate along with his vibrato

Is there anything that Seth MacFarlane can't do? is family guy not enough.. and he has to conquer broadway in the process... he's totally nailed the proms.. wow

He would definitely get an A in vocal jury but he would so get dinged on his final for his inability to take a stance and stand in one place. Profs would say, he is losing too much emotional energy shifting his weight from foot to foot - and they would be right! But his voice is really glorious.

WOW, he's amazing! He reminds me a lot of Frank Sinatra! Wish he would do more singing! :)

His interpretation is Art Lund's, the one from the original show. Lund's is better, though. It captures better the emotional complexity of this brilliant song.

Joey, Joey, Joey, Joe Joe, Junior .... Shabadoo.

Oh man you are really good, in brazil me and my friends like very much family guy and Ted

Brava!

Broadway concert please! :)

I'll be damned, Seth!

I can't take my eyes off his eyebrows in the close-ups...

Another great performance by Ron's kid. What's his name again?

Nice job Peter

I need to sing with him. Let's duet!

I'm getting a Frank Sinatra Christmas kinda vibe from this music

This is nice, but honestly I much prefer Judy Garland’s upbeat version to this one (or, for that matter, Art Lund’s or Leslie Odom’s). Actually, Nancy Wilson’s jazzy version is really nice too. Just a preference. The mark of a good song is that different singers can sing it successfully in different styles.

Seth definitely dyes his hair

He has a wonderful voice, but his acting skills aren’t strong enough to pull off telling the story of the song. He kinda sways and croons, but there’s no emotional connection to the words. This is fine for a concert, but I don’t believe he could pull off doing a Broadway show. Still a huge fan of his writing.

My boyfriend killing it!!!

A jot of useless information......Sir Paul McCartney owns the copyright of Most Happy Fella....now yer didn't know that did yer!

Sings

tiene el vibrato en la ceja derecha

That was a painful slog.....

His voice has a similar timbre to Matt Monroe's.

Joey Bishop used this as the theme song for his talk show but I never heard the lyrics til Seth sang it.

Close your eyes and you hear Sinatra. Awesome.

that is some eye-brow action. Amazing!! A fair singer for the role. Original cast singer was better.

ok?????

Family guy sings...

i wish he would drink less at least i do not wanna loose him :(

Good job, with some reservations, but if you really want the hair to stand up on the back of your neck, listen to Leslie Odom Jr. sing this song.

A decent and full West End/Broadway voice perfect for the stage and musicals, maybe even light operettas. I'll never be a fan of his animated work (nor of those people who made the older Simpsons for the same reason). Biased **** (expletive deleted) against married straight men portrayed as childlike morons and oafs rescued by their long-suffering women (wives and daughters). Shallow propaganda for the radical feminists, and culture warriors who despise anything traditional, such as loving couples with unique qualities, and men who are adults not overgrown children.

meh

boring
