Music Producer Reacts to Drunken Sailor by VoicePlay

[@DnDAddictUK]

Geoff has a way of making repetative songs less repetative. It is an amazing skill

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

It really is!

[@DravenGal]

Geoff goes all the way down to Davy Jones's locker! But that's cool, I love The Monkees!

[@Gael4ce]

lolz, wrong Davy Jones. The locker belongs to his uncle; he’ll inherit it when he turns 18. 😏

[@Gael4ce]

lol, You’re commented on a VoicePlay vid with a Monkees reference and you have DT in your profile picture….how are we not already friends?

[@trishaurvan9439]

Hey! Fellow VP and Monkees fan! With that beautiful Southern accent that Mr. Geoff has I'd love to hear him try a Monkees tune! But VP, DT and Monkess!! Allonez-y and Save the Texas Prarie Chicken

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Haha! I love your comment 😂

[@Gael4ce]

@@trishaurvan9439 That tears it. We need to form a club. How many people can there be out there who know “What number is this Jim”, Where to find a Bad Wolf, and the proper way to say “Eli”.

[@lkayh]

What I thought was interesting was seeing them put the set together, already in costumes and makeup. And thank you for commenting on the acting-all these guys are amazing actors. Great reaction, Jeff!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

As an actor myself, I've gotta show appreciation for those with amazing talent. I also enjoyed looking at some of their behind the scenes setup for the Patreon promotion at the end. Glad you enjoyed the video 😁👍

[@StephanieGraham0129]

Yes this one was so much fun to watch! They did have a blast filming it. Eli once again did the lighting for this video. The drunken Sailor was a former band mate way back before VoicePlay was VoicePlay. His name is Matthew “Bucky” Buckner. He recently had a small part in the VP mini for 500 Miles. He also choreographed Geoff’s Monster Mash video from 2 years ago.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Oh, very cool! Perhaps he doesn't sing with VoicePlay as much anymore, but he still plays a role in their success 😁 Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

@@JeffreyHackReacts Bucky does voice overs in movies now -- Disney maybe. I saw one comment saying he'd ruined his singing voice singing to much, but he sound pretty good in their 500 Miles video.

[@Denalicat]

I have to say I love this "ridiculous version" of an over exposed but wonderful old sea shanty everyone and their mother sings .A music video is like a snapshot in time creating a wonderful experience evoking memories and emotions and they excel at that.The best part is you can still just listen to the track and really enjoy the music alone it's so good. Great reaction and analysis. The BTS was ... no words ,when someone is laughing from behind the camera you know it's gonna be gold. Not just singers but entertainers probably what makes their live shows sound like so much fun. VP is the entire package. Speaking of childhood Geoff just dropped a short of Paul Bunyon.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Their use of the bts footage to promote their Patreon was a great way of marketing their brand. And true, if they're all laughing, you know it's gonna be great! 😂

[@ilonadever8249]

This was such a hoot to watch, I just love it. Geoff's arrangement is amazing, especially the bridge he added. And, after they did Creep, we needed some giggles. I think my favorite bits of acting were Eli crying when the whale got the longboat, his reaction to Bucky drinking out of his cup, Cesar wiping his hands on Bucky's vest after touching the toilet seat, Layne's expression when Jose sunk the longboat, Jose and Cesar conspiring on what to do next. And I didn't even skip the ads, hope it helps!

[@hwyla4416]

Also loved ‘riding the wave’ of Eli’s voice right as the dancing starts. We got a taste of it in”Wellerman” but this was a more robust ride.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

I saw someone ask if anyone had ever seen angry beatboxing before. That made me giggle.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Voiceplay is alway different and excellent plus entertaining at the same time. Love it.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I couldn't agree more! 👍

[@Wandererdown]

I love that Geoff was holding a wooden spoon when he was going to cut his heart out.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Haha! Right? That whole segment was really funny 😂

[@WraithW69]

I appreciate the fact you watch till the end. this was a different performance from VP but still just as enjoyable as ever. love these guys & love your reaction.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

This was like one of their musical theatre a cappella performances, which is why they are one of my favorite professional a cappella groups 😁 Glad you enjoyed the video 👍

[@marshayoung9387]

@@JeffreyHackReacts thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play. Geoff just released a new solo cover, Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash. Geoff's voice is even deeper than Johnny's. I think Geoff's version is better than Johnny's. Listen till the end when Geoff is explaining something interesting. Yes, he has a surprise in the video. Cesar is my favorite. His expressions & attitudes are the best & so funny.

[@karinwolf9639]

Did you notice the camera was not still for a second? Always swaying and swinging which gives me a slight queasiness when I concentrate on that (I get it on a real boat too 😅)... This gives this song an extra vibe in my opinion... all other parts: exquisite entertainment -> in other words "VoicePlay"... 🎉😂❤ great reaction btw😊

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I did notice it! I actually touch on it more in my post-commentary on patreon 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@detrafitch66]

I like the fact that Geoff had a wooden spoon during his "full on dark" bit. Takes me back to when folks used to say, "I'll carve his heart out with a wooden spoon!" That added part at the ending just made me what to grab a pint and join them!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I don't know if I ever heard that expression before!

[@DavideBaroni]

Loved both the video and your reaction... What is my favourite part? Difficult to answer... I believe the touch of self-irony when Eli says "And we should make him listen to Voiceplay while we do it!", and Bucky makes that gesture with his hand and finger, and then José says "You... Are a monster!". And Bucky kinda "completes" the gesture, sort of "approving" what José just said. It's as if the truly HORRIBLE thing isn't to have his heart carved out with a wooden spoon (BTW, nice reference to a Alan Rickman's line in "Robin Hood"...), but instead "having to listen to Voiceplay in the meanwhile"! 😁😁😅😅 And also the last part, after the end of the song, when they really sing like drunken sailors 😅😅. But it's all an excellent video, and musically, well, what could we ask more? 🙂 See you next time!

[@caitlinkavanagh3298]

Loved their version! The BTS for this song is so much fun. Hope we see more of Bucky and always ready for more Jose! Thanks for the reaction!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Happy that you enjoyed the video!

[@beckiramsey9561]

That was a fun video! I did enjoy their version!❤ Great reaction! 👏👏

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Thanks Becki! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁👍

[@thomasfarr7934]

This is incredible! I love it! I especially enjoy hearing Geoff hit notes that I didn't know existed!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Haha, right? Such a fun music video!

[@Traci2000]

They have absolutely figured out the recipe for amazing arrangements! So fun!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

And the arrangements keep getting better 🎵

[@ronsbrat525]

Awesome reaction as always Jeffrey. I love this whole video. These guys had a blast singing and filming this. I love getting all their and Geoff's behind the scenes videos. They're so much fun and interesting to watch. Never a dull moment. Geoff released his new video last Saturday, the 5th.... Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash. It is absolutely amazing. I never liked Johnny's version of it but as always Geoff made me love it.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I think I actually recorded my reaction to Geoff's new song already. Just have to edit and schedule it 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@ronsbrat525]

@@JeffreyHackReacts Ok. Cool. Can't wait for your reaction.

[@Helen_Anderson]

Loved this reaction! Not sure if I have a favourite part, but I always enjoy a good Geoffquake, and I loved Laynes face when Jose put the long boat into the cup 😂 But they were all fab, as always.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

They always alter a cover version to make it interesting ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Indeed! And they always make it work.

[@evalu3369]

Great reaction! VoicePlay are always unique. They don't need any comparasin with others. They sing together and help eachother to shine.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I wasn't actually trying to compare the two versions, but I was looking forward to how the different styles would sound. Yes, they do a great job with this one, as always!

[@carinarodebak9419]

Great analysis of a hilarious video. Fans called it the doll from hell Geoff replied in the comments that her name were Clara and she had feelings!😂😂😂

[@Gael4ce]

I would have the exact same reaction to that demonic thing as Bucky did, and I’d do it wide awake and sober.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I love it 😂 Hopefully not too many fans hurt Clara's feelings 😝

[@hwyla4416]

One bit of really great video editing is when Bucky throws the doll. If you watch really closely there is a change of angle as the doll flies off the table. I think it was done in 2 shots. One to push the doll away (but she is still on the table) and one of just the 'blanket' wrapped to look like the doll is inside which actually goes to the floor. Therefore Clara would not have broken as she hit the floor. So I bet we see her again someday.@@JeffreyHackReacts

[@candilunsford2878]

I love watching their comedic side--its' so them. The harmonies/arranging are still brilliant and Layne just killed the percussion on this. Gotta say, Bucky throwing that creepy doll across the room was the only way to treat that thing. *shudder

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

😂😂 Yeah, this was a fun one! I also loved the ending dance choreography! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁

[@barbarakennedy2667]

​@@JeffreyHackReactsthank Bucky for choreography. That is one of his talents.

[@hwyla4416]

And his ‘drunk dance’ was spectacular

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

My favorite part of this video is the look on Eli's face when Jose tells him that he's a monster.

[@laundrygoddess4]

Love that you made mention of Layne going insane here. He doesn't get enough credit and he's been off the charts lately

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

And I love that learn slayed his vocal percussion in this, like he always does.

[@karenzak6627]

This was so fun. Thanks for your reaction!

Yep 😁👍 The term is called "panning" in music mixing 🎵

[@kiracattan4624]

@@JeffreyHackReacts Is that how they create the 8D music effect? The ones that make the song just float around in your brain?
