For The Longest Time...In Solfege! UW-Oshkosh

Have you ever wondered what this classic Billy Joel tune sounds like sung only in Solfege? Well here you go. In our Keyboarding and Aural Skills class at UW-Oshkosh, we had to take a song we liked and perform it completely with solfege, so we figured why not share it with everyone! Sorry the Bass(me) isn't very loud, I'm more of a bari-tenor...those low E's are easier to hit at 8am when class is ;-). Thanks to Dr. Astolfi for Encouraging us to perform this for Convocation, It was a good time. Enjoy :-0

I love how the lead singer still seems to be __thinking__ the words to the real song.
