The "ham sandwich" line still cracks me up, especially since in the next scene, if you look closely, you can see Tim eating the sandwich.

[@donnam5891]

Yes and at the beginning of Fat Bottomed Girls he's really rockin' it 🤣

[@stormdancer0]

@@donnam5891 But near the end, when Austin was on the floor, he looks blessedly uncomfortable with the whole thing!! 🙂

[@GaiaOne]

Nope. On April Fools, we all got Rick Rolled. It was epic.

[@carinalindberg7377]

Yes, this year we got Rick Rolled. The Butts Medley was released years ago, though.

[@writerinprogress]

Oh yes - you HAVE to react to that one! And also the mini-trolls they did leading up to it if you can find them all!

Home Free is famous for their ability to just HAVE FUN, not taking themselves too seriously, and yet turning out seriously amazingly good music. Their "Country Fried Pop Medley," "Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget)," "Hillbilly Bone," and many other songs show this lighter side, more or less in contrast to their hard-hitting songs like "One Voice" and "Everybody Walkin' This Land." They can choose the tone they want to strike, and then they can hit that tone, dead center, and leave us gasping for breath with the giggles, or gasping with tears in our eyes. This is the mark of masters of their art, and these gentlemen are that, and then some.

[@carinalindberg7377]

Well said!

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Thank you Wes. A wordsmith exercising you are. Awesome. Chuck in NE Kansas

[@loganscott4891]

The best thing about Home Free is their ability to not take themselves too seriously. Like, they are guys who do this sort of stuff and seem very down to earth even with their success and they give their audience, live or otherwise, a good time and plenty of laughs. I've only recently discovered them myself through an Instagram post of them performing Travelling Soldier and I fell in love with them for that. But now I'm like absolutely obsessed with their music. It's all I listen to now and their videos bring me joy on rainy days. They are AMAZINGLY talented - especially Adam with the crazy vocalisations he can do (that no-monica thing he can do is absolutely insane and never knew a human could make the noises he can). But this entire group is just so darn talented and it blows my mind each time I hear something I havent heard from them.

[@jenniferdowling5145]

Not a joke. They used to close their first set live with this. They shot images of their own butts as to respect women.

[@DravenGal]

You won’t hear me complaining!

[@janhankins911]

Had they used women's butts, I would have found it offensive (as a woman). But the use of their own butts made it just fun instead of insulting and degrading to women.

[@DravenGal]

@@janhankins911 Yeah, I mean, you want to show off your own butt, that's every bit your right! Doesn't mean everyone will want to SEE it, but hey, let your tush, push!

[@janhankins911]

@@DravenGal Well, guess that depends. As a straight woman, I'd much rather see a male butt...

[@june4976]

This song, like their cover of Meghan Trainor's "All about that bass" (also extra fun video) is about body positivity. It cherishes women that have that little extra curve, and I like that a lot.

[@dogtrainerjen]

LOLOLOLOL 😂😂 You've gone and done it now! "Bueggs" is Rob's friend, and he never misses a chance to be ridiculous. He's in several of their videos and he's a hoot! 🤣

[@nightthornkvala94132]

He also does a movie review/discussion podcast with Rob called The Avid Indoorsmen. Fun.

[@gingerjohnson1095]

@@nightthornkvala94132 According to Chris Rupp, the overalls that Bueggs is wearing in this video are the same ones Tim wore in Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget... slightly remodeled...LOL.

[@shellyt3946]

Fun fact-Layne from Voiceplay did this arrangement at Chris Rupp’s request.

[@officialmortius]

No way! That IS a fun fact!

[@lrfcowper]

@@officialmortius Yup. Chris brought him the list of songs and Layne arranged it.

[@donnam5891]

It's an excellent arrangement. I love it all. It's hilarious but I really love how all the songs are blended seamlessly in the last bit.

[@shivaunmcgoff146]

Are you serious?? Awesome!!

[@par500dragon7]

Rob does the whistling on this, and several other songs. He's a whistling virtuoso!

[@gingerjohnson1095]

He isn't the only one. I'd love to see Rob and Avi in a whistling competition.😚😚🤭 Totally different techniques.

[@babyfry4775]

That’s what I love about Home Free….they don’t mind looking like goofballs - all while sounding so good. They never take themselves too seriously. While they have lots of serious beautiful music, they have plenty of goofy stuff too. They are so much fun. Love this and loved your reaction! Country fried Pop Medley, All About the Bass are some other goofy ones. Enjoy!

[@truckerswife5060]

Home Free's "Country Fried Pop Medley" is amazing its even better than this one.

[@ChrisHaar]

One of their best!

[@inferlynx737]

YEESSSSSS!

[@darquemode1165]

GREAT reaction! You really do comment on the arrangement more than most other reactors... Plus, you're one of the few that noticed and commented on Rob trying to hide from Tim's bass spit assault! 🤣

[@f.n.schlub2269]

C'mon! Face it! That arrangement, mixing and editing were flawless.

[@morvous1]

The Whistling is the melody in "Wiggle". That is why the background has the wiggle song going on.

[@Natasha-ty7oo]

Chris rupp does a reaction to this video on his channel that is worth a watch. He gives a lot of insight to the making of it

[@ladylauraanne]

I loved seeing how happy this one made you! Your laugh was infectious! My husband loved this one when I shared it with him.

[@gorgeousbacon]

If you’re into the fun side of Home Free, please check out their “All About That Bass” cover and their original song “Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget).

[@annelieshoornik]

great suggestion

[@anna-karinolsson537]

There Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget song is so mutch fun. A little fun fact for you...the overalls that Buges is wearing here is the same that Tim has in Champane taste!!! hihi

[@chrismorin1318]

I knew once I saw you'd reacted to this one that they were gonna break your brain from just the "What am I watching?" point of view! These guys just are able to make you feel something every single video. Part of their allure is that they have something for everyone. And they aren't so full of themselves that they've forgotten how to poke fun at themselves. They just seem so approachable, and from what I've heard from people that have seen them live, they are very interactive with their fans! For a few more serious message songs check out Everybody Walkin this Land, Land of the Free(an original co-written by Tim) What We Need is Love(also written by Tim) One Voice, and People. Just to show how socially aware they are and they don't sidestep an issue just because it might not be popular. Great reaction!

[@lrfcowper]

I love this reaction. It's always so much fun to throw this at new reactors because it is so good and so absolutely ridiculous at the same time.

[@CarlaDelk]

Loved your reaction! These guys are so talented and have such a great sense of humor. If you notice they did not focus on womens butts but their own. They did not want to disrespect women by focusing on them. They just wanted to have fun! And as always the vocals and percussion is on point! You should check out their cover of " In the Blood" Thank you for your fun reaction!

[@aprilebert157]

They can be as silly as they want since the musical quality is perfect! Loved your reaction!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Mortius, you're reaction may be the best ever to this fun song ! By the way their latest premiered earlier today at 1pm - a cover of Bruce Springsteen's classic, Born in the USA

[@eileensquirrely9880]

Born in the USA is awesome! And, it'll show Mortius that yes indeed, Chance CAN sing the higher notes as well. :-)

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@eileensquirrely9880 absolutely ! I love Born in the USA so much it's juat amazing Home Free & especially Chance just killed it

Thanks for the compliment! My wife had to have minor surgery today, so I won’t be reacting to that one as quick as I normally do, but maybe next week :)

[@grimgrinningtracy9157]

Fun fact, they brought Layne Stein, beatboxer from Voiceplay on board to help with the arrangement of this as he is brilliant at seamless and unique segues in medleys.

[@DravenGal]

I didn’t know that! Cool! I was thinking today how much I’d love to hear Layne and Adam working in a song together.

[@trinaward1005]

Check out their covers of "My Church" and "How Great Thou Art". Another funny one is a Home Free original called "Champagne Tastes"

[@tracyz9155]

So now you should react to the Home Free cover of “All About That Bass” AND the outtakes video right after. The most fun ever. Thanks for your reaction

[@nightthornkvala94132]

This one has outtakes, too. Don't pass those up.

[@Chris_Pil]

Chris Rupp also does a reaction on “All About That Bass”. I love his reactions to Home Free songs because he gives you behind the scenes info.

[@macm.3889]

All About The Bass, and their Country Fried Pop Medley are also very fun : ) Did you notice Tim eating the sandwich in the back after they said ham sandwich?

[@kalled4th147]

I was hoping for someone to say something about the ham sammich.

[@joanwharff6483]

I think it’s one of their funniest……it’s so well put together. And, makes you laugh Every time 😅🙃❤️‼️

[@par500dragon7]

BTW... loved your reaction! It was really entertaining watching you experience HF's silly side. One of the reasons we love them is that they have so much talent, and provide sublime musical performances, while being so much fun! For non-silly awesomeness, you need to react to Man of Constant Sorrow.

[@karenodell4200]

Would really be interested in your reaction to Home Free's "Everybody Walkin This Land". Glad I found you Mortius.

[@chrismuelder7117]

"It's been too long since I've heard this song that I don't know exactly what they are trying to replicate there ummmm: BUTT"

[@mrschurch1979]

In "Shake It For Me", that background instrument they're imitating is a banjo. (I went and watched it because you made me think about it.) ;D

[@annschafer9343]

Definitely check out country fried pop medley, all about that bass, and their original written by Tim Champaign taste on a beer budget

[@jessicacifelli5496]

You are the most adorable reactor ever. Such an awesome smile! My favorite vocal effect is during the black light club scene. When Austin made the high pitch trilling sound with his finger on his mouth. I thought that was a neat trick. Such a fun song all around. Country Fried Pop was another fun mashup of songs. Also, their version of 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton is another great song. But you have to watch the music video and also a live performance of this song. Just amazing to watch!

[@lindanearing4710]

I can't stand hip hop or rap, but somehow Home Free has made them palatable, even enjoyable. The first time I heard this I wasn't that big a fan of it, but after listening to it a couple of times it grew on me. Their musical skills are just insane and the arrangement is genius. Loved your reaction.

[@susanwahl6322]

I don’t know if you noticed, but over to the right hand side of the stage Tim is doing what Tim does.

[@corinnaschmidt9735]

I think you would have fun with "Sold"!

[@myramegill7293]

@Mortius I just found your channel about a week ago and subscribed immediately because you are real, you are honest, your reactions are fun/emotional/informative, and just fantastic. You are a joy to watch, keep doing what you're doing!

[@officialmortius]

Thank you! That makes my day to read

[@cozenw3236]

Another easter egg. After the line of the sandwich, the next scene, Tim’s eating that sandwich. People usually miss it.

[@Chris-lc4bo]

I really enjoy the videos that Chris Rupp has a hand in.

[@freckles7184]

2 things…….. 1) notice in the ham sandwich scene, Tim is eating a ham sandwich in the back ground 😂 and 2) watch Tim head banging in the very beginning of Fat Bottom Girls. I was on the floor! These guys are off the charts good! Loved your reaction.

[@angelamason9840]

Thank you for your reaction! I thoughly enjoy your Home Free breakdowns! As much as I love this arrangement, my favorite HF older cover is All About that Bass, arranged by Austin and Chris. Favorite HF originals are Dive Bar Saints, (favorite Chance lead). I’ve Seen (great leads by Tim and Chris), Snow Globe, and Full of Cheer (wonderful and ridiculous).

[@NanaSevers]

You need to watch Adam Rupp’s percussion solo.

[@macm.3889]

Also! (So sorry for disorganized comments) When Adam is doing that scratchy stuff, when they sing this live Tim is beatboxing!

[@rileystone6789]

"they do have nice butts, to be fair" is the exact thing I said the first time I saw this. 👀👈

[@mellenvox]

Love your reactions, as they come from a knowledgeable voice who can appreciate the nuances of Home Free's performances far better than I. My musical knowledge can only take me to the overall impact of their beautiful harmonies and silly antics. Speaking of which, try their "This Is How We Roll" originally by Florida Georgia Line. Thanks.

[@greybenauer9803]

This has to be my favorite reaction video you have done. Makes me laugh when I’m in a bad mood 🥰❤️😊

[@bethcoussou]

There really was so many things going on this video that one would have to watch it numerous times to catch everything. That wouldn't be a bad thing at all, though! lol I don't know if you noticed in the rave scene Austin was doing that high pitch noise in a really cool way! This one is always fun to re-watch with reactors because there's so much going on, plus all of the songs they cover in such a delightful and fun way.

[@Tessie46255]

Something missed a lot…. Tim is head banging in the very beginning of Fat Bottom Girls. Gotta look fast.

[@deniblackmore2179]

I missed that as well! Had to go back and have another look. Go Tim - he's a natural at it! 🤘😃

[@Rhondaandjames]

You are three times as loud as the video your playing. it needs to be the other way around... if i have your voice at an acceptable volume the song is inaudible.

[@Naline1818]

Such a fun video ! It was also great to have a little breakdown of the song from, as reactors are often paying more attention to the goofy video (and we understand why lol) People would almost need to watch it twice, once for the goofiness and a second time to appreciate the stunning arrangement ! But you must have a perfect ear, because I noticed that you don’t need to listen twice to replicate what you heard, so good for you 😉

[@Ticolme819]

Love Austins imitation of Freddy Mercury sing Fat Bottom Girls. Every time I watch it again I catch something new. Watched several times before I notice Tim eating the samwich.

[@reginaminton1135]

There you go, just the reaction I wanted to see. LOL They were having some fun for sure. Rob's friend Buegs was having a blast with Tim's old overall's cut up. Thank you for this great reaction...Country Fried Pop Medley...suggested by truckerswife50 below sounds great...lot of fun.

[@TheRealXesc]

I'll say that even if this is a silly song, it still shows off a ridiculous high level of skill - they are so good that even a joke/fun track ends up amazing!

[@terrispurling4036]

New sub here. I’ve been lurking around your channel for a bit and I really enjoy your on point analysis. Deconstructing any song can be quite difficult, but a cappella pieces are, to me, even more difficult. HOME FREE has been my favorite group for quite a while and I am finally going to see them live In October! YAY! Prayers and healing thoughts for your wife.

[@ThisTimeLady]

Great video. I did actually GASP aloud when you didn’t know “the Thong Song” by Sisqo. Every club was playing it that year …and into the next (and yes, I was sneaking in just to dance 😂. Was 15.) eventually they played a clean version at school dances …my school was pretty chill (i mean, they played In Da Club by 50 and it wasn’t as censored as some of the newest clean versions are hahaha.) I mean, thong…it’s a clothing item. XD funnily enough, the Sir Mixalot song “Rappers Delight” also got played a lot at dances…i think I am remembering things through rose tinted glasses, I’m pretty sure I didn’t think they were that awesome. Ah, no worries, not much missed by not knowing Sisqos hit, though it can be fun just as silly stuff to dance to😅

[@f.n.schlub2269]

"ridiculous" MEANS "worthy of ridicule". NOTHING "ridiculous" about any part of that video. "Wiggle wiggle" in the background of the first piece was a foreshadowing dovetail to the second piece.; Jason Derulo - "Wiggle". Similarly, both visual and musical dovetailing were used between "Big Butts" and "Thong". This medley incorporates the arranging techniques of mashups and the visual style of pentimento.

[@anthonylewis62]

[@vickiroman189]

Told you you'd like it! So much fun.

[@officialmortius]

You were right!

[@Maerahn]

Have you seen their cover of Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna give You Up' yet? Austin (with a guest appearance from Dawg, his cat) is HILARIOUS in that one! And so is Tim, as usual - but Austin definitely steals the comedy crown. (They actually DID troll everyone with that one, having released five different 'teaser trailers' on the day before release - April 1st - for other songs that then suddenly stopped and turned into a 'Rick roll.') And of course they sound amazing too.

[@cushlah389]

Wiggle wiggle wiggle is a song by Jason.... someone... Sorry can't remember. And Snoop Dog.

[@cozenw3236]

They also came out with a Sea Shanty Medley. It’s in my opinion that Chance (not in this video) was orchestrating behind the scenes, under handedly, overtly, and manipulating Tik Tok users in order to facilitate Home Free doing a Sea Shanty of their own. There’s a story behind it, but I’m on to Chance. I know what’s going on…😏
