this is what happens when Hatchworth's voice box is screwed on to tight.

[@cicadaboi101]

Yup

[@thewarriorpriest2952]

I'm so jealous of the Spine's vocal range like damn he can pretty much cover the major ranges by himself.

[@jimmytheclinicallydepresse1007]

He can be deep as the ocean and high as a kite with his voice all in a short time frame.

[@thewarriorpriest2952]

Jimmy the Clinically Depressed Comedian I KNOW! I can sing low or highish for m ranger but good lord. How does he do that so easily? After years of practice I still cant

[@kellyhh2519]

Rabbit/Bunny has a larger range than her brother. I think in one video, Spine/David said he can try to do deep or high voices, but it doesn't sit well on his throat. On the other hand, Bunny can actually replicate all of the current and past members' voices to the T xD

[@edwardjonesjonesfleming5595]

As i have a very deep booming loud voice by nature i can attest to Spine's problems with going as deep as he can because even me naturally my throat has issues with how deep my voice can go and in some cases im deeper than spine.

[@jakereed4057]

[@danielacappello360]

Director: How much autotune do you want? SPG: no.

I so agree! I mean, gotta love them all and I admire all of their works, but singing-wise, Spine is by far the best out of them, throughout the years you can see how much he has worked on it and the way he uses his talent is very, VERY admirable. All the moves he has are nice, "natural". Go Spine!

[@Wolfsfang07]

Funny thing, this is the song I used to get my fiancee to join the fandom. The thing is though, when he heard Hachy's voice he thought that it was swapped with Rabbit's voice because of high pitched it was. He still can't wrap his head around it after I explained it too him and it makes me laugh everytime I hear him trying to grasp the situation.

I cannot describe the amount of hope and excitement this stupid cover made me. I don't care how off-key some parts are, or that it is literally the same lyrics over and over again. It means so much.
