Hello my Baby but it's... not barbershop?? (FULL TRANSCRIPTION)

Newfangled Four performing "Hello My Baby... Through the Years": • The Newfangled Four - ...
Joke (from the Barbershop Harmony Society original KZbin video): "This is the first time for Newfangled Four to appear as mic testers for the International Quartet Finals, an honor given to the quartet placing 11th. The special guest featured is David Zimmerman, tenor of the outgoing champions Instant Classic, who have been teased all week with this particular knock knock joke. David gets them back, though, with his reply!"

“I’m so glad we’re mic testing, otherwise we’d be disqualified.” That was humor at its finest

Additional context to the description: Jason Niebrugge, the Lead of NF4 (the redhead), is the butt of a long-running stage-joke, that he can't do jokes, especially knock-knock ones. He'll start a joke, then fumble his words and shout "DAMNIT". You can see his over-exhuberance as he prematurely delivers the punchline, perfectly falling into "the guy that can't joke finally gets a joke right."

[@Penquinn14]

I went to a barbershop workshop that they worked during highschool in like 2015(?) and it was life changing. All four of them were just full of so much energy and talent but they always did a great job of relaxing and connecting everyone in the room too. I remember I was going through some stuff at the time so I ended up not going again and Jake had even reached out to me to talk to me about some of the stuff since he noticed at the camp. Seeing them pop up as recently as now is just so amazing. They're still as goofy as ever but they've refined it so well

2:56 still can’t get over how clean the tenor interjection was there. Also just the whole swing section is so fun to hear

hi im very late here, but can I ask what you mean by tenor interjection? i haven't come across the term before. is it the suspended high note from the guy on the left?

you're right. this is clearly a contemporary classical percussion quartet. so new, so bold. I love it.

[@kwamedwards]

Jackson just proved that it is possible for a ginger to have some soul in them. That was beautiful.

This is what the hobbits of the fellowship ended up doing together in an alternate timeline, killing it as a singing group.

[@D.E.P.-J.]

I've always enjoyed the Newfingled Four.

[@atheistlinguist542]

Does anyone else just immediately think of an animated frog singing and dancing to this when they hear it (at least in the original style)? Also, I was hoping they'd end it with a turn-of-the-millennium boy band rendition (e.g. NSync or Backstreet Boys).

[@pszczolka80]

I think of an alien chestburster with a little boater hat and cane. But it's based on the frog, so I guess...same?

[@nickibrewer-mann9898]

I just love listening to this group. I love the touch of humor that they add.

[@nyneeveanya8861]

I noticed we went to the fifties, then to country, then jumped way up to disco in the late seventies early eighties. Guess sixties and early seventies just couldn’t be done by barbershop quartet. Course kind of hard to do Beatles, Animals, Jefferson Airplane mashup.

[@Drakethatsme]

Amazing stuff! One of my favorites. Small correction on the final section - the tenor on the first "honey you'll *lose* me" should go up to a G on "lose".

These videos bring back such good choir memories for me! It's interesting to follow along with the transcription and see just how intricate the chords can get. Or to remember from the second song that you sometimes have to plug one ear because you're singing only one note apart from the person next to you.

[@conniead5206]

The only reason I decided to listen to this is because it says “not Barbershop?”. Barbershop Quartets I have heard over me decades have all had fantastic vocalists. I have heard that one song too many times is my problem. They did a fun and great job of switching it up and keeping me listening to the end

[@DawnDavidson]

These guys are so hilarious!

[@mattiemathis9549]

I’m sure this popped up because I follow the gaithers. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance! Bringing the quartet sound to other genres is cool. I play instruments, but if I try and sing my dogs think I’m in pain. But there is something so beautiful about people using their voices together. Dang, I just teared up a bit. But there IS something fundamentally different between acapella and other music. I see amazing instrumentalists and I just drop my jaw. But when human voices combine in such beauty, it brings me to tears.

[@james_subosits]

Dang dude, you've been putting out a lot of lengthy transcriptions lately. How do you manage it?

[@jasonfieler]

It's an incredible amount of work, but I have a lot of motivation to find time somehow and get it done for two reasons: first of all, it's extremely rewarding for me to be creating for myself a catalogue of arrangements that I can have and learn, as well as that other people can have as a form of entertainment, study, and possibly performance. The other main reason is because I'm currently a student in college studying music, which is not the most lucrative industry if you're not really famous or well established in the area (and I'm just 18 lol). I don't get rich by any means off this stuff and patreon, but it's a nice amount to be able to help me with college money, and it feels nice to have that backing once in a while, even if it isn't stable. I'm extremely grateful and lucky that I've been able to have this platform to showcase the work I'm doing which people seem to really to enjoy, and I'm also thankful to all of you who keep coming back day after day to see what else I'm putting out. I'm currently celebrating my 35th consecutive day uploading a video, which feels awesome, and I wanna keep going for as long as I am able to keep it up :)

[@james_subosits]
