HOME FREE "Country Fried Pop Medley" // Audio Engineer & Musician Reacts

[@angelamiller6275]

These guys are the ABSOLUTE BEST! They NEVER, EVER DISAPPOINT!❤

[@itzel1735]

Jeremy, have you tried reaching out to Darren Rust at Skyland Studios in Lakeville, MN for a chat? He’s the Home Free producer and arranger. And himself an a cappella singer with The Blenders.

[@nancyholter5646]

Since even as late as mid-2015 a significant portion of HF's following was "seasoned fries", I'm betting a good 50% of them were like me and had no idea what songs were mashed in here, but we enjoyed it anyway. The melding of 16 (their description says 15, but they list 16) totally different songs into one 4+ minute song is a masterpiece of arranging.

[@teresacartwright5406]

This is one of their older ones but the singing, harmonies, beatboxing and humor are terrific. Adam keeps the beat and segues so easily from one song to another. BTW, the rooster lives on - in their 'quarantine' series, it's in a bookcase in Austin's house (apparently he's a pack-rat after my own heart!). Have a great Thanksgiving weekend (Thanksgiving in Canada is Oct. 9).

[@IAmGigi247]

What a way to start my Friday!! Hi Jillian! Oh... Hi Jeremy! 🤣🤣 You two have made my entire day! ❤️❤️❤️

[@denise_landry]

Austin arranged this one and he did a fantastic job! Some German fries gave Chris and the guys a rooster (actually multiple roosters) years ago and it makes an appearance in several videos. Thanks guys - y'all make me smile. 😂🍟

[@tammymoseley1348]

I love hearing the production aspects of why these songs work so well.

[@davidhoag4697]

Really fun reaction, guys. So, I have a theory about the chicken. Let's see if I can articulate it. The last line they sang was from Lourds "Royals", "I'll rule the world". Imagine the world being ruled by a group of guys who sit and stare curiously at a chicken on a string like a bunch of monkeys. I don't know if that's what they were going for, but the idea made me laugh.

[@marshac7738]

I think Adam Rupp's incomparable rhythm sets Home Free apart from all other acapella groups and makes these fabulous medleys SO incredibly smooth❣️ 🤣😆🤣😆🤣 Home Free is supremely talented on every level and their ability to seamlessly integrate multiple songs together is just beyond words! ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@xerylemountain7154]

I often wonder what Adam's 'sheet music' must look like!!!!???? Thanks for the tip about head phones, now i have a reason to listen to all their videos again with fresh ears. (as if i really need a reason, ha!)

[@brendasorenson6186]

What a fun song and reaction! Jillian is such a fun addition. And thanks for the tech talk; most of us really don't know about the magic you sound people do!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Hahaha, such a fun reaction!!

[@richb313]

I think Austin has the Rooster now.

[@angwatts]

Apparently I'm not super up to date with all the songs. I had to look at the info on their video to see a list of all the songs they included in this one.

[@jamanga59]

Country fried chicken

[@musikbyjh]

Yum ✌🏽

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

The Rooster at the end was a gift from a fan at earlier shows...it is an easter egg in a lot of their older videos. I believe Austin has it at his house now.

[@angelamason9840]

Yes. If you watch their video quarantine you can see the rooster on Austin shelf behind him.

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

@@angelamason9840 and I think in "Fishin' in the dark/Boondock" there is a shot of a foot stoping on a rubber rooster.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

I don't think you need to know the songs being parodied in order to love this medley! Home Free just knows when and how to make us laugh and smile, while being amazed at the quality of their talents at the same time. Love your reactions -- and love having Jillian in the mix!

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks for that! She's fun, right?! ✌🏽

[@wolfe6220]

Rob is a hoot. He can crack you up with just a look. Its an inside joke involving a fan gift. You have to look for for a chicken. Like Hillbilly Bone, Fishing in the Dark, etc.n

[@changlyn100]

This Medley is soooo good! Very creative. Ninja is a great addition!

[@danivansuperstar]

This is why I wanted Ninja on this. I knew she would know more of the songs!!! She knew it was a masterpiece right away!!!! Y'all are so much fun. I didn't know a lot of the pop songs either, so don't feel bad lol. They covered a bit of about 15 or so songs in this one. And ROB omg, so much personality and talent. The rooster is an inside joke. Other Fries will explain it. Annnnnnd I will say it again, you two have a great dynamic!!!! By the way, Jer, she shushed you just at the right time. Aside number 2: my 13-year-old son's name is Jeremy, so it's one of my favorite names, so I call him Jer lol. Sorry if that's too familiar. lol! Ninja: You have excellent pitch. Are you a singer?

[@musikbyjh]

[🥷🏻 here]: LOL!!! Thanks for the great request, Dani. As you can see, we had a lot of fun. This was GREAT!!! You have excellent taste!!! Thank you for the sweet words, AND for validating my SHUSH timing. Right?!! LOL!! Awww, another Jeremy - he must be super cool with a Mom like you! And nope, never a singer. I was in the corporate world for a long time, so I think my voice was conditioned by the gazillion of PowerPoint presentations I've had to give over my career. Appreciate the compliment!! xo, Jillian

[@danivansuperstar]

Nah, Ninja, either you're born with pitch or not. I guess you were born with it. Maybe you could help me with some of my PowerPoints in the future lol. Just kidding. But yeah, my little Jeremy is a drummer, and a redhead, and I dunno, but your Jeremy just reminds me of him. They're both very laid back and chill until they're really passionate about something. Then watch out! Anyway, thanks for sharing your dual reaction with we Home Fries!! You guys are the best!

[@rodgervsaffell2085]

Your chemistry made this a super reaction!

[@kimmillard6915]

This song is a combination of 15 songs from 17 different artist! And it is a good song to show how versatile and how funny they can be! I ❤ having Ninja on Hime Free Friday’s!

[@LynnRamsay]

The chicken was a gift from a fan and it wound up in a lot of older videos it became a game for the Home Fries to find the chicken 🐓😊 List of songs Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie

[@nikkle6166]

What song is Chris singing while Austin and Rob are singing Someone That I Used to Know and Chandelier? I hear Chris sing Fire Away, Fire Away.

[@LynnRamsay]

@@nikkle6166 honestly I don’t know I looked this list up a long long time ago this is all they mentioned. Pop music wasn’t my type of music so I don’t many of these songs.

[@kristindunstan172]

@@nikkle6166 , I think the line is "far away" instead of "fire away." It's the hardest song to pick out from all the others because it's a little hard to hear Chris over the other two songs.

[@TheCIB64]

​​​@@nikkle6166Chris is singing the song "Titanium" and the line is "fire away, fire away" This song gets overlooked by lots of reactors & the lists of the included songs

[@billsturm9225]

It's Titanium by David Guetta@@nikkle6166

[@kennethbryson7751]

On home Friday is great, just remember on a cappella music every thing is vocal and ninja is right, talking over you may miss something extremely good that happens quickly. That’s just a cappella! Love your channel though! Low bass Kenneth

[@carolburnett190]

I laugh every time I see this one! I think it is the description, it’s 15 different artists and 17 songs (to the best of my memory). Thanks guys!

[@cindywynn5161]

Happy Home Friday, my beautiful friends. Country Fried is a fave. Just finished 4th radiation and 3rd chemo. Feeling good. ❤ my tunes!!! ❤❤❤

[@roniboyd613]

Sending hugs and love❤❤❤❤

[@musikbyjh]

Awww CIndy!! Ninja here - we are SO happy to hear that you are feeling good despite the treatment. We think of you often and will have your song out soon my friend. BIG hugs, and thanks for keeping us posted!!! Your Home Fry family loves you and wants you feeling WONDERFUL!! xo, 🥷🏻

[@celtzen]

You got this sweetheart!! Go kick that cancers arse!

[@billsturm9225]

you're getting love and prayers from the Home Fry community

[@babyfry4775]

God bless you. Be strong and kick cancer to the curb. I’m a cancer survivor too. Much love and prayers!🥰😍

[@joywright8794]

Space in music . . . it is the space that allows you to savor the the beauty of sound that follow it and increases the affect of its impact. It functions like punctuation in prose. Silence is a period, pause for emphasis is a coma, etc. It effects impact and provides emotional depth.. You are right Ninja, I know what I like when I hear it but when Jeremy explains to mechanics it helps me understand why I like it. Jeremy pleas keep up the explanations, it is not boring, it is enlightening. Thank you.

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Now you're going to have to look at their older videos ( with Chris) to look for the hidden rooster. LoL. I've found two more so far.

[@jasonsomething6003]

LMAO @ Jeremy..... Ninja has your number and that makes me smile as the cream rises to the TOP! LOVE OUR LADIES! I couldn't imagine more than 5-6 takes on this as Home Free seems like their just goofing off but with their vocal talents just simply makes everything and or song sound much better! peace

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

I love this one so much!

[@kenarnold6740]

Subbed for a while now, love ya guys. Put One man band and My church on ur list, thx

[@Mikki44]

They already did One Man Band

[@babyfry4775]

Awww the chicken. Some fans sent chickens to Home Free and Chris used them as Easter eggs in their videos I guess. Others will know more than I do. It stopped when Chris left the group. I thought it was kinda fun. They’re so goofy. So good. 😍🥰

[@dagmar.6954]

Great reaction from both of you! This is such a fun mashup of songs. Very cleverly done from one song to another. I didn't know most of these songs. But I don't care as it is just so much fun to watch. The talent these guys have is phenomenal. They have so much fun but the vocals never suffer. And Adam's beatboxing is on another level.

[@kristindunstan172]

I never heard most of these songs before hearing this medley, but now I recognize them any time I hear them on the radio in a store somewhere. LOL

[@justkaron]

I have no idea how many times I've seen this but i always love it.

[@roniboyd613]

Love you guys❤

[@Mikki44]

Tim is doing some of what Adam is doing in a deeper voice.

[@rllangevin3841]

Great reaction you two! Love the banter between you both and that you both love listening to Home Free! Keep the HF reactions coming; I look forward to Home FryDays!

[@angelamason9840]

Thank you both 🤣🤣! Chris and Rob goofing off always makes me 🤣. If you see Chris Rupp’s breakdown of all about that Bass he explains the story behind the home free 🐓 . This was filmed at the same location as thinking out loud and Butts Medley.

[@mamabears34]

You two are so funny! LOL I will tell you that from what I know of, the chicken on a string at the end of the video is a private joke among the Home Free members. We may never know the true meaning behind it but we can all assume that it is just Home Free being silly wonderful Home Free lol I love love this group and can't get enough of them. Thanks to you both for the reactions, and Jeremy you have to understand that when us women (Ninjas) are watching and listening to our Home Free we want as little distractions as possible!! Just kidding......sort of. LOL :oP

[@disney4real]

Such a great reaction! This is one of my favorites, it is so fun! Your Home Free Fridays is something I look forward too!🤗❤️

[@ppresley9208]

Love their medley mashups ... their transitions are so seamless !

[@terimingle8957]

I just love these boys!! ❤

[@floprather4262]

These goof balls are hilarious beyond a doubt. They sing, perform, and they make you laugh all the while having a good time. You never know which side of these guys you will get in their videos.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

The rooster was in quite a few videos at least the older ones. This is such a great medley of songs. I love when Austin, Rob and Chris are all singing different songs. Really enjoyed watching your reaction to this video.

[@anitawright7169]

This was so much fun. Got to love Home Free. Love your reactions! ♥

[@rebeccarose7405]

This one tickles me so much! The rooster on the string shows up in some of their earlier videos. I think it’s also in “All About that Bass”. ❤️🎶

[@andreaislandgirl720]

Don't be afraid to pause and rewind if you feel like you missed something, especially when they do medleys, things go by pretty fast sometimes. This is also true for their videos that have a lot of visuals to take in as well as the music.

[@patriciavernon9795]

This is so much fun and definitely a fan favorite! You 2 crack me up! 😀❤️

[@musikbyjh]

Glad you enjoyed...LOL!! Ninja's fun, right?!?

[@belinda9696]

This one was one snippet of song intertwined with another in rapid fire, there was no room for talk at all if you wanted to hear it all so that's why she shushed you to listen and recognized 98 % of the songs. This is funny too, one of my favorites of their older videos. sometimes they have so much going on in their videos that you have to take a second look, and a third, and more, right?

[@billsturm9225]

with it being October, you might consider doing "Zombies vs. Hillbillies - Survivor (VoicePlay vs. Home Free)" for the Oct 27 Home Fry Day

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

Oh yes! That video is hilarious! Great suggestion!

[@susanhorn4325]

I’m just catching up on Home Fryday…what a great reaction! I’m a fan of your reactions Jeremy and when Jillian is there it just doubles the fun. If I could make a little request…your background music at the beginning and end of the video is kind of loud. It almost drowns out your comments. I’d really appreciate it if you could turn down the music so I can hear your voices more clearly. Thanks for considering it.

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks Susan!! We are working the audio issue. It's complicated but shouldn't be. Will be fixed soon. Thanks for being patient with us!! ✌🏽

[@MichaelFrazier-x6v]
