HOME FREE Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget) | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis) Jennifer Glatzhofer

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Rob is a master whistler. He could do an entire album of whistling I would buy it.

[@ScottJThornton]

Yes, both versions! Although I’m still partial to the original. Avi Kaplan’s cameo is a great Easter egg.

[@lisaseverance6785]

Tim wrote this before he joined Home Free. He was working at a company as a song writer and his boss told him he was going to have Tim do primarily country songs since Tim was just plain good at it. He tried to argue but his boss was pretty adamant that Tim needed to do country. Tim always said most of his success came from him finally getting out of his own way. LOL So he finally agreed, went home, got terribly drunk and wrote what he thought of as the most ridiculous country song ever, this song. He figured once he did that, everything else would come out fine. Not realizing that he had just wrote one of the more popular songs. He was then encouraged by his boss to record all of his own songs and put out a solo album. He thought that much of Tim's abilities. This song was on Tim's solo release of his cd "The Best That I Could Do". And yes, Rob is a master at whistling...Tim is not and freely admits to it. He admits that his whistling on his solo of this song is awful and if he performs it without Home Free, he always makes sure someone he is performing with can whistle. LOL Oh and about the dungaroos...they were later made into cutoff shorts for Buegs to wear in the Butts Medley. (Buegs was the one lone guy in the center of the background line dancing with them in that video) LOL

[@HannahSBax]

I agree that the whistle on his solo albumversion is terrible. I love the giggle at the end though😉

[@LoriCole-q3u]

Rob has the best whistle!

[@carolyntaylor7]

The opening of the first version is ‘up the creek without a paddle’. 😅

[@tracyallshouse2730]

Both are great, but I really like the first one. 😊

[@mamiemartinson4649]

If you think this one is silly, you'll love Mississippi Squirrel Revival. It's an animated cover version of Ray Stevens original comedy song about a boy who caught a squirrel which got loose in a Church and caused a commotion. Realize there is a solemness in some Southern Churches .... Imagine a critter crawling up some high court judge's robe and watching his snootiness dancing like he stepped on a live wire behind the bench. Similar concept.

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for the double feature. I will always love the original video back in 2014 the best. I think the words & visuals fit it much better. But I can understand that they wanted to change it up a bit in the new version. Still a lot of fun. Everyone sounded great as usual. Glad they kept in Rob's whistling.

[@sandralorenz1796]

Those are bib overalls. This song cracks me up.

[@cowboy1165]

Home Free week is going by so fast, but that's OK I can wait until next month for another Home Free week. 😂 So Cheeky. I'll show myself out.

[@jamesjones8482]

Your reaction was more entertaining than listening to the singing of the song. 🎶❤

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

😁

[@mettesrensen6116]

Fun fact Tims pants are the one Beugs is wearing in THE BUTT REMIX/MEDLEY and during a PARTY/concert🥳🥳 Tim asked Beugs to come up on stage he came out with the cut-off jeans and Tim gave them to a fan ❤😂the audience loved it

[@marshac7738]

Rob's whistling is wondrous! The story behind this song is hilarious: Many years ago Tim's employer told him to write a country song but he didn't want to. So he came up with the "worst" (his words) country song he could think of--and to this day it is one of his most popular originals 😆 #HomeFree

[@pamscarr8696]

Avi's cameo makes this video fo me.

[@allenclaytor8551]

im so glad you are doing a home free week!!!!! Tim tryed to write the worst country song he could , and it turned out to be one of the most requested. rhanks got doing this one.

[@kellytressler7671]

So much fun! I'm not sure everyone knows but the "beer" they are using in the second video is a non alcoholic product. I thought maybe he spit it out at the end because it was gross. 😂 ❤

[@ahv51]

I’m not sure when, but Tim stopped drinking alcohol.

[@rodconner9079]

Rob - the BEAST!!! Damned near a professional whistler! (note - Adam R ain't too shabby either) : ) A few changes but not much really ... just as good (either). Tim was on the bass-line on the 1st where Chance has the 2nd go! Telling a story! Love it! Be Safe

[@MyLorissa]

Austin can whistle pretty good too, as he does on a song or two on his solo channel.

[@pauldshan]

Rob is a very good whistler. I'd love to perform with him, and teach him a technique or two...he'd get a lot better.

[@danuttall]

Yes, that was Avi Kaplin in the bar in the first version. They recorded the video for Ring of Fire the previous night, where he was featured, so he was still in town the next afternoon to do the cameo in this video.

[@patriciahanson5479]

Wonder if you noticed that towards the end of the first version there is another cameo of Avi on the mechanical bull. I really love how Home Free can do so well with funny songs as well as serious ones

[@leslieoneal4464]

I've watched this a bunch of times and this was the first time i realized that Austin was wearing "water wings" when they're handing over the beers on the boat! LOL 😂

[@MyLorissa]

Floaties!

[@DeansMayhem]

Jen, your whistling is pretty good!

[@davidsanders5788]

I often play this for my wife as I drive her to the mall

[@kennethbryson7751]

I love that Tim is sticking to his guns! He stopped drinking some time ago and even the swig at the end he spit out! Way to stay strong Tim! Thanks for both videos Jenn, two sides to a funny song that Tim wrote! Great visit from Avi as well! Looking forward to tomorrow! Low bass Kenneth.

[@lisaseverance6785]

Well to be fair that last swig was lake water. Because he doesn't drink anymore, he had opened the can and dumped it out, then it became filled with lake water while shooting so he went with it.

[@lrfcowper]

They used non-alcoholic beer. If you look at the label, it says NA.

[@lisaseverance6785]

@lrfcowper yes but even NA beer has a small amount of alcohol. My husband had to refrain from drinking alcohol due to a medication and that is what his doctor told him. A zero beer, however, is totally non alcoholic.

[@MonguSu1952]

I was not aware that HF had released a second version of this song! I can't decide which one I like best, so I'll have to like them both equally! 🥰

[@deanmarion5477]

Humorville

[@GailL-g7m]

I like both videos equally-- the new version seems to be the same couple ten years later (and they are running out of patience with each other!) I've watched them both multiple times, but it's even more fun watching them with you and sharing your reactions. Thanks for featuring my favorite band, Home Free. Gail L.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

And with this tune Home Free prove they absolutely know how to have fun. People have always said Tim wrote it when he was drunk. And trying to write the most stereotypical type of country song and lyrics. Whether it is or not, maybe, but the song works no matter what.

[@nancyholter5646]

HF used to have Rockin' Robin in their show, and a few years ago Rob joined 7th Ave to make a video of it - wonderful Rob solos - both whistling and singing! Well worth checking out.

[@nancyholter5646]

@@itzel1735 thanks. I thought I recalled him with VP, but couldn't bring it to mind

[@cheryljohnson733]

Rob was a saxophone player and maybe that helps with the whistling.

[@babyfry4775]

Rob is a master whistler! Love these. Tim wrote this ages ago for his boss who insisted he write a country song back in L.A. He went home got drunk and wrote this in one night. It became a hit for him. You loved the lyrics I did, “I won’t see her pretty face at all when the prison’s no where near the mall”. Hahaha. Good one Jen!

[@mattcoyle5867]

2 rounds of funny...i have never seen the updated version before and i cant be the only one who was praying for Avi to come up out of the water and make an appearance like in the first video...lmao...

[@peggygross7409]

Tim wrote this before he joined Home Free. I love Rob's whistling. Great analysis. Rob seems to have lost his glasses in the lake in the new version.

[@mandysmith1756]

The original version is such a perfect telling of the story, so I'm happy they were able to come up with a new version that was so funny. Rob is just the best whistler I've ever heard!

[@lindareynolds8430]

#HOMEFREE...so fun!

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Fun song!

[@ad9aggie]

"Full of Cheer" is the "unofficial" sequel to this song. If you like amazing whistling, check out Roger Whittaker "Mexican Whistler," "Finnish Whistler," and "Russian Whistler." Keep on keepin' on, young lady!

[@bethcoussou]

Both versions are equally great! The old one is a classic. Avi was in this one because they recorded the Ring of Fire either the same day, I believe, so they asked if he wanted make an an appearance in Champagne Taste, too! So happy he did, and he wore the same cowboy hat he wore in Ring of Fire! Love your reactions to these two! Oh, you should definitely check out their older video you saw in the clip at the end of the original Champagne Taste. It’s their cover of Story of My Life! It’s one of my older favorites. Very good cover!

[@timothybuell3314]

Chris Rupp would cover the bass when Tim is on the Lead on the live shows. Sometimes on the videos, Tim would overdub the bass. When they changed to Chance on the baritone part, they didn't have to do this overdub as much.

[@lauranichols945]

We call the garment Tim is wearing “overalls.” My grandfather, a farmer, wore them daily.

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

And I have read (other commenters) that they are the same overalls worn by Buegs at the end of Butts Medley, with the legs cut off.

[@camannwordsmith]

True, but "dungarees" is British and charming!

[@HannahSBax]

In dutch we cal them tuinbroek, translated as garden pants😁

[@paulmartin2348]

You are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN with this. This is I think their #1 hit, show a little respect for the artistry here girl.

[@denisehaukkala9742]

If this was filmed on a Minnesota lake, where Rob and Adam Rupp live, it would not be very warm.

[@carolyntaylor7]

It could have been filmed at Percy Priest - a lake near Nashville where Tim & Austin live. Either way, it looked cold! 😅

[@vickiadkins9844]

Thanks Jen for Staying loyal to the boys!! I really love your channel and reactions!! ❤

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@rllangevin3841]

Great reaction and analysis, Jenn! Love hearing your thoughts re our #HomeFree boys; they never disappoint and we are here for all the fun and hijinks!

[@dbugs58]

This was filmed around the same time as Ring of Fire and asked Avi Kaplan to make a cameo, of course he was all in

[@robertdocholliday66sadler]

The old video was better than new one imo

[@angelamiller6275]

Absolutely AGREE 1000%

[@pastelcarnations]

Loved the double videos, love them both, I love it when they are silly, they do it so well, while sounding amazing

[@ronaldsinagra8825]

They shot this the day after Ring of Fire and asked Avi to stay for a cameo. Did you notice him on the mechanical bull at the end?

[@lynn2574]

His pose on the bull at the end still cracks me up. 😂

[@lrfcowper]

If you watch Adam, he manages to splash his beer out multiple times and doesn't even react.

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Fab videos, fab reaction. Thanks Jen😊

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@Mohawk091]

Love your stuff and KZbin videos, Jen!!! Keep being you; God Bless.

[@TazGolem]

The pace is slower on the newer version and feels more like Mississippi Squirrel Revival. Newer one is good but original one is just more fun.

[@tmontgomery7592]

Your laugh is so infectious.

[@markieman64]

I can whistle like that too, but for me, it's not a skill I've needed to call on very often! 😂 I do really like both versions. The more I've listened to it, the more I've been able to hear the differences.

[@pauldshan]

I'd love to hear it!

[@garylushman615]

Its the same weekend they did Ring of Fire that's why Avi was there and he's sat on the rodeo horse at the back at end of the video.

[@Ur4chun8]

Tim says this is one of their most popular numbers.

[@LynnRamsay]

Home Free is releasing the debut video with Adam Bastien on Friday

[@brendasorenson6186]

Such fun videos and a fun reaction! We saw HF last March and they sang this one. I told my daughter (whom I was with) that this was "her song." 🤣🤣🤣 BTW, during the Chris era, Tim layered his bass voice for the official songs/ videos while Chris would cover the bass live, but with Chance in the group, Tim has Chance cover bass when Tim is singing lead.

[@davidsanders5788]

We call them overalls not dungarees. Check out the brand liberty.

[@LivingWithSpinaBifida]

Hi Jenn! it's been a minute since i seen your videos. glad to see your still reacting to more Home Free :D This song is so silly! I love it! :P

[@fairyshiona4093]

Not as much analysing as ususal in this one, but lots of giggles, though! Which are always nice, too! And to be fair, it was a very story-telling kind of song and not overly complicated. Sometimes it's fun to react to things without analyzing them. I wonder, though, which version do you prefer? I personally like both and some things I like more in the older version and some in the newer.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Yeah, I feel like I can’t choose hahah! The second was very clever in bringing a fresh take visually. But I love seeing how they went about it first ☺️

[@janetbreckon8211]

On another channel, they noticed Avi on the mechanical horse in the back, at the end. Also was Avi clink a glass of champagne with Tim as he passed in front?

[@pauldonohew3084]

That Dom Dom Dom sounded a lot more present. It's because Chance carries the bass line when Tim is singing lead better than Chris Rupp could

[@theironherder]

What I still want to know is why Home Free has NOT yet asked to collaborate with Jen. WHY!!!!

I love both their version of this song (a Tim original)! I don't know if you've ever seen the live video of their mash-up of "Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get it On".
