I love when the woman in the back laughs soo loud at 4:20 all of the guys crack up hahahh especially Layne and Geoff hahah Layne's reaction is so cute he's just standing there with his eyes closed trying to controle his laughter!
I love it when Tony is the waitress and Geoff says 'awful lot of it' and Tony looks really mad and you hear Geoff saying ' you look great' makes me laugh every time
Oh my gosh, I'm less than a minute in, and I had to pause the video, I was laughing so hard at Layne clucking loudly right at the woman holding the camera and scaring her, I could not BREATHE.
The lyrics, for those who care: Geoff: We're gonna give it a shot, and I'm pretty sure we're gonna pull it off. Fellas, wanna come out here? So this next song means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. It's gonna mean something to you guys tonight. Of all the tunes we're gonna do, this is the one that's gonna stay with you. So brace yourselves … appropriately.

Anonymous Voter I immediately took that part as dirty reference the very first time I saw this video. I wonder what was on their minds as they were doing this performance?
Elizabeth Cross what I wonder how most of them can keep a straight face or at least keep singing without laughing. Why my theater group we can practice as much as we want but we'll always laugh, even on stage 😂😂
MrsW0f0rd Well, my mother used to ad "Jump Jump" to my name because I loved to climb trees...I like masticating some gum from time to time too...so don't feel too bad! 😂🤣😅😍
@@elizabethcross9003 2 years late to the comment, but considering Earl's reaction when people raised their hands and his face as he said it it probably was an innuendo XD.
This is the best thing ive ever seen too cute, never actually seen VoicePlay live but after this live video I would love to see them live just to see this in person cannot stop laughing too good love you VoicePlay love you Geoff you guys are incredible OKAY! Can we bug them to make an official video for this song ASAP?! I NEED IT IN MY LIFE! 😂 Geoff you are the sexiest looking gum tree I have ever seen. I am completely obsessed with this video cant get enough
What in the world was That lol btw im a New Fan as of a few days ago I Always knew bout Voiceplay But I really Started listenin when I Found the vid for White Christmas And The Grinch I Love Geoff's Voice
BlueyPlays he wanted to work on his personal project with Layne ( Pattycake Production check it out, it's really awesome) and he wanted to be home more. Touring life is stressfull
I always hate seeing live performances on RU-vid.... It really doesn't do the experience justice of being there for real, I remember this after visiting the Dutch a cappella group Montezuma's Revenge who (unfortunately) retired in the theater and seeing them later in a similar kind of show on RU-vid... It just wasn't the same. And so I also have trouble watching this video, however I cannot deny that what I see gives me an indication of what I can expect when I would visit them in a live performance for real, and I said it before, if I could afford the tickets if they'd ever perform near my hometown I'd buy myself a ticket. I know I'm gonna be entertained and that I'll really enjoy their vocal performance.
This is Voiceplay. They are an A Capella group that toured the US and made a stop at St. Catherine's University. They are going to be in La Crosse WS on April 16! Check out their website for more shows. They put on a very entertaining show ☺️
I know who they are. That is why I was watching the video. I happened to notice that it said MN, so was just curious what theater it was at. And YES, I am going to the La Crosse concert. Just bought my tix today. And got the hotel booked. So excited. :)
What do they sing when they say what they did like "She's bringing Cocktails just like (this is what I don't get here) ever since that rooster, came into our yard!"

I spent twenty minutes transcribing the video for you, but I accidentally clicked on something and got navigated away from the page. Because RU-vid is fucking stupid, it didn't ask if I was done before erasing everything I did.
@@EarlJohn61 Thanks! I've been looking it up just now, because your comment got me curious again, and it looks like it may have started back in the 1950s or something. I haven't found a version from then yet, but I did find the 80s versions like you said, and a couple of Irish covers too. However, one interesting detail is that none I've found so far have had the gum tree or the waitress! Plus, a couple of lines in here were different from the other versions (like the eggnog bit, for example - in the other versions I've been hearing, they just say "yogurt", which isn't really as clever). So it looks like they may have originated at least a verse or two! Taking the original and tweaking it a bit, in typical VoicePlay fashion lol Thanks again for the comment! It was really helpful! :)
