moosebutter: a brief history
See Tim. See Tim sing. Sing, Tim! Sing!
Tim wants to sing with friends. See Tim audition.
See Weston. See Weston dance. Dance, Weston! Dance!
Tim likes to sing with Weston. Weston is funny.
See Chris and Glen. Chris sings high. Glen sings low.
See moosebutter sing. Sing, moosebutter! Sing!
(this brief history brought to you by Glen's four year-old)
*moosebutter: a more conventional bio*
moosebutter is a four-man comedy a cappella group. They have won awards from the Contemporary A Cappella Society(Best Comedy Song, 2004), The Harmony Sweepstakes (2003 International Finals runners-up), had their music included on compilation albums (Doctor Demento Basement Tapes 2005, Sing II 2005) and played live shows in front of audiences around the United States. Their tight harmony and eclectic humor have charmed audiences through two albums and countless live performances.
To handle all the performance requests they receive, moosebutter has several casts of performers. They perform with three, four, or five singers, depending on the show, and have done just about every kind of show you can imagine (Punk rock show? Check. National television? Check. Wedding reception? Check.).
Chris *
John Tesh's Worst Nightmare
Although over-zealous fans frequently mistake him for the 9th Beatle, Chris is actually the 10th. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in music. He adds that elusive electro-funk-opera vocal sound that is so much of moosebutter's signature sound. Chris collects DVDs and, on special occasions, watches them.
Chris is currently petitioning Fox to start the "American Idol: Older People" contest.
Weston *
The One-Man Marching Band
Once called "A Mexican John Belushi" (Logan, Utah, March 19, 2004), Weston is not Mexican (half Argentinian), named John (he's from Cleveland, after all), or named Belushi (but he did for a while date a girl named Belushi - that was her only name, because she was a pop singer).
Weston graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Marketing and Advertising. For employment he now does both, though not at the same time, and not for at least 45 minutes after eating a large meal.
Weston is currently in a tree flinging empty pizza boxes at celebrities.
Mister Tim *
The Human Vending Machine
Mister Tim sings in a kajillion a cappella groups and is also a one-man a cappella band, composer, teacher, and conductor.
Mister Tim has a Bachelor of Arts degree, Vocal Performance emphasis, from the University of Utah, and studied for a Masters degree in Choral Conducting at the University of Colorado.
Mister Tim is on the Board of Directors of the Contemporary A Cappella Society
Mister Tim has children. Regularly.
Glen *
The Envy of Stupid People Everywhere
A self-proclaimed Air Force BRAT, Glen is actually a nice guy. While at Brigham Young University he was integral in starting the group "Integral" and he broke the norm with his other group, "Norm." Be still my heart, I'm funny.
Glen is a computer programmer, so if you get him angry and he goes nuts, don't say we didn't warn you.
Glen is currently engaged in a staring contest with a ring-tailed kinkajou.
Jeremiah *
Calling him "the bald one" would be too easy
You can call him "Jer"; you can call him "Jar"; just don't call him "Jar-Jar".
As well as singing baritone with moosebutter, Jeremiah has sung (has singed? has sang? sanguine?) screamy-high soprano with Vocal Point (not to be confused with Vocal Point or Vocal Point).
Jeremiah one day hopes to actually talk to a woman.
Richard *
The Robot
Richard used to sing with the college a cappella group Mile 21 from the University of Colorado. He currently sings with several pro a cappella groups, and makes furniture.
Also, he is a ROBOT
Peter *
The crooner
Peter likes to lay down with his ear on the ground until he hears a herd of something or a large something coming towards him, then he gets out of the way. He is a student at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He does tricks if you give him a milkshake. It has to be a really good milkshake.

Years ago my brother emailed these guys and asked if he could buy the sheet music for this. They emailed back and said "No, you cannot buy it, but we will give it to you for free" and had it as an attachment. Nice guys. 👍

Many years ago, I was still not a Star Wars fan, but as an Indiana Jones fan I was amazed at how John Williams' works are put together. Now I am also amazed at how these parts from the original trilogy are arranged in it! Great work!

Ah the golden age of KZbin, when content creators didn't have to make high quality 4K FPS videos over 10 (soon to be 20 minute) in order to make a living or have fun creating content. Yes there are still people that do "KZbin" but now these creators are being bottlenecked. So sad. Wish some other platform would rise up and be what KZbin was supposed to be. A place where creators can share their creations without ulterior corporate motive working against them.

Thomas Siemsen It's all you're ever going to get when it comes to Star Wars. Deal with it or not.

[@zoilomccrocklin4561]

Meh...ep7 was never supposed to be released. Originally George Lucas planned on 4-6, then going through 1-3, then going with 7-9 using the same actors from 4-6 aged years down the line...however, he decided to stop. I mean, Disney could make something great from the last trilogy. Let's face it, Disney had their foot in it for a long time. Anyone who's been to Disneyland California has at least seen the star tours ride, if not ridden it. They revamped it & I never got to go in on my last visit to CA a few years ago because they were in the middle of reworking it. I'm actually guessing they started reworking it as soon as they got the rights for 7-9 from George Lucas.

[@stefannofornari]

This performance is absolutely great and I must sincerely congratulate for it, but I haven't heard just a single note of Star Wars. Instead, I've noticed in a sequence music from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Indiana Johnes", "Superman", "ET", "The Shark", "Jurassik Park", and again "Indiana Johnes".. Greetings from Rome!

[@davidsbunny01]

Massimo Mastrangelo That's kind of the point. The songs are all from other John Williams scores, but the words are all from Star Wars.

My dad used to show me this all the time. I loved it. Eventually we hadn't watched it in a long time. We couldn't remember what it was called because I (Being young at the time) just called it "Silly Guys". Finally after many years the urge was so strong to find it that a simple google search of "Star Wars lyrics to John Williams songs" brought this up. I just want to thank you for making this video as it was a wonderful part of my childhood that I will remember forever. Thank you!
