Thank You For Being a Friend (Golden Girls Theme) - a cappella

Thank You for being a Friend was the theme song of 80s TV series The Golden Girls, which starred Betty White, Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty. Andrew Gold wrote Thank You For Being a Friend in 1978, and it was covered by Cynthia Fee for the theme song of the television show. Betty White, who recently passed at the age of 99, was an American actress and comedian, and a pioneer of early television, with a career spanning over eight decades! She was the first woman to produce a sitcom (Life with Elizabeth) in the United States, and is often referred to as the "First Lady of Television", a title used for a 2018 documentary detailing her life and career. This cover is my humble tribute to her and this song, in an original 4-part a cappella harmony. All parts sung by me.
--- LYRICS
Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
Well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend

I used to watch the show with my mom back in the 80s when I was a kid. Betty White played her airhead character to perfection, she was a bowl of sunshine.

[@jahnaderr821]

@@JulienNeel Yes, she was sunshine! And so hilariously funny in her Off Their Rockers show she hosted. Used to laugh till I cried!

Can you do a version of the Family Matters and Full House themes?

[@justalex3525]

Thank you for paying such a brilliant tribute to a wonderful lady. Of course, your harmonies are perfect!

[@jimberry7865]

That's 10x better than the real theme.

[@chuchulainn9275]

Voice: Rose! ROSE! Rose: Huh? Blanche: Finally! You sleepyhead! We've been waiting forever for you to wake up! Dorothy: Blanche, it was 5 seconds. Blanche: See! Like I said, FOREVER! Sophia: Please! What would you know about forever? I was here before any of you. If 5 seconds is forever then I'm older than a dinosaur! Rose: Wait! Where are we? Blanche: In Heaven of course! Rose: ... 🤨 Dorothy: I know. It's shocking isn't it? Rose: You're sure this is heaven? Dorothy: No Rose. Satan draped a canvas over the gates of hell to trick people! YES! It's heaven! Rose: Oh boy! What's it like? Sophia: Well we don't really know. We haven't gone in yet. Rose: Really? Why not? Blanche: Well that's obvious silly! We were waiting for YOU! Rose: You were!? Blanche: YES. Now hurry up! I want to see the cute angels. I believe Gabriel had his eye on me! Sophia: Old people first! Dorothy: Fine by me! Rose: ... Oh how I've missed them!

[@theshabs]

[@benjataito]

Really good! Greetings from Chile :)

[@francismallard5892]

I'd love to hear what you would do with "When a Cowboy Trades his Spurs for Wings" from the Coen Brothers movie "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs". It's melancholy and touching, but catchy also. Your four-part harmony would put such a wonderful spin on it.

[@gjunior2471]

Sweet

[@JaimeMesChiens]

How the heck do you do this, Julien?

[@JulienNeel]

Haha, glad you enjoyed it. :) If you'd like to sing my arrangement, you'll find all the info regarding sheet music and audio learning tracks on my website: www.julienneel.com

[@JaimeMesChiens]

@@JulienNeel thank you. I will pop over straight away. I’m a mez sop and you are performing on another level, here.

I'm like number 30 😁

[@jasonirelan4487]

The first and only person I’ve met face to face that has your name was black and would give me a hard time.

[@retroman2199]

Comme une nuit de lune, la pièce est légère, comment znoen lys blancs parfum, je suis vaincu par les esprits du mal, voler à travers le jardin de minuit. Sans vergogne outrageusement ma paix, ils prophétisent beaucoup de tempêtes et d'orages et jusqu'au matin, ils se moquent de moi la confusion de ses métamorphoses. Comment doux est notre baiser de minuit tes pas sont élastiques et faciles soupirant, touche ma main et se dissoudre sous l'ombre des jets, je me sens désespérée, que nous avons rompu pour toujours avec toi, sous un grondement redoutable quelque part au loin les bataillons des ténèbres reviennent..

[@grandmasangels3203]

SING, NOT SOON. Typing error

[@mattalbrecht7471]

Don't quit your day job...

[@JulienNeel]

What was that for?

[@SuzyMcCheese]

I'm thinking not enough hugs and no one listened to their problems. This is a beautiful performance.

[@horvathgaborne301]
