"The Buy-in Eats Tonight" - "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" adapted by the Marsh Family

[@su-rv2uq]

As an American, it sounds so odd to me to hear about "cooking tea!" It's like, why would anyone cook tea? So "dinner" isn't used in England at all? Such a talented family!

[@kathrynrobinson1624]

The use of tea, dinner or supper to refer to the evening meal in the UK depends on where in the UK you are

[@AnnaHazel17]

We do say dinner, but tea is probably more common :)

[@susansmith7831]

It depends! For some the midday meal is lunch, for some it's dinner. For some the evening meal is dinner, for some it's tea. It can depend on region, class, family preference, or how fancy the meal is!

[@susanpearson-creativefibro]

In the average home Dinner is interchangeable with lunch or tea, usually referring to a main meal of the day. Tea is a more informal evening meal. Except in upper class homes, where tea is afternoon tea involving drinking tea and eating something like a sandwich and a scone. This would be in addition to luncheon and dinner. Think Downton Abbey...

[@malvinfuller]

Tea I always think of as a more northern word, and dinner southern - I never use the word tea, always dinner, but the Marsh family are more southern than even where I live so it might have just been a musical choice of word, they might have moved south, or it is more regional than even I know! I live in Essex and think they live in Kent.

[@catiacruz5907]

Can we all please appreciate how insanely amazing mother's voice is! And by the sound of it, all the children inherited that wonderful singing voice.

[@mantleofelijah]

The dad has a brilliant singing voice too.. it’s just not so much to the forefront in this one

[@pscoolguy]

The dad's voice is very good too☺️

[@johnmiller2905]

And don't forget Dad too!! There's literally not one in the bunch who can't sing. It's incredible.

[@janetlynne8712]

The little boy on the left in front of his dad looks just like my son at that age. He can sing too and can hear a song once and can repeat it in perfection. This is such a fabulous group of people.

[@terakata2428]

Yes.

[@yorkshireroots]

Brilliant from all of you but the high notes were absolutely special and bravo to the young gentleman on the left Superb Marsh family spreading the love in crazy times

[@RTS907]

Mom and Dad, do your kids realize what an amazing family they have? Your kids will remember these times as their most happiest!

[@DonnaMayStanish]

RTS907 - ❤️🥰

[@RonniePenman7071]

Don't know about the kids but I'll never forget the Marsh's!

[@AlbionGames]

Everybody great, Thomas amazing, and Ella just WOW!

[@ChubbyAmadeusFan]

Is there an instrument this family cannot play? A song they cannot sing? Marvelous!

[@profilingmanipulation]

I can't choose which kid has the most phenomenal voice, each one is superb ~ Heaven sent & beautifully unique 👌 Mom's is amazing too, I couldn't believe the sound! And so is DAD'S! Just amazing together & definitely made & meant for bigger things, all of you 💛 We need an album 🥳🥳🥳

[@robertcrocker901]

Agree--everyone's voices are amazing!!!

[@michaelbiggs7987]

Wow! The musicality and the humor were both top notch here! I was smiling the whole time. And the "bat frequency high 'aahs' " really were excellent!

[@icemanpiers48]

Giggled like a school girl when I saw that caption

[@katrijnhendri7595]

That caption was so funny 😂😂😂

[@elizabethavren9795]

the elder girl's voice is tremendous!!!

[@LiLStar7224]

My favorite thing about this was how her high notes got captioned 🤣

[@mohammedsaddique9330]

9⁹

[@bahoonies]

Marsh Mob you are just brilliant. You're fun, entertaining and you make isolation easier for us all.

[@nicolahopman1249]

Wow those high notes by the young girl are amazing.

[@qpulse]

Thank you so much Dr Ben Marsh and all the family for keeping so many people sane with your amazing videos. I live on my own and like so many people have really struggled during these strange and awful times. Your videos have made me smile and shown that everyone else is going through the same. You are keeping a smile on this old buzzard's face :)

[@ElisseThompson]

THOSE HIGH NOTES THO. Wow. I just discovered your insanely talented family a few days ago and have watched your videos over and over. Incredible vocals and it’s so heartwarming to see such a loving family come together and perform during lockdown. Please don’t stop making music as a family...ever! You’ve helped one lonely lady across the pond smile more during quarantine, that’s for sure.

[@joline2730]

Or just insane !! 😆

[@KittyStarlight]

And me too, also across the pond. Thank you so much, you guys. ^____^ Very nice work as always. ^___^

[@joetrolo7076]

The world needs more families like this one. Would be a much better place. Cheers!

[@cm4099]

Always fun - but WOW that clear, accurate soprano just... ummmm ... sings! 10 thumbs up.

[@maryhazlett]

So many great voices - everyone has an awesome voice. Shout out to Dad though. Dads don't always get kudos, and I love his deep voice balancing out the high voices.

[@feuilletoniste]

I played this to my music appreciation class when we were talking about music making in Pandemia, and it really made their day! Thanks for all the music and smiles in this difficult time.

[@SCREENWAYMEDIA]

Mum and Dad you can be rightly proud of your family. From a b-flat clarinet to upside down wooden spoons, loved it. Nice to see everyone round the dining table again

[@samhughes2680]

Such creativity. I can never understand how you can make such songs apply to life in lockdown. Keep it up. Can't wait to see what comes next. 👍

[@jeffreygi]

You have to turn your disadvantage into a positive

[@MerrySidhe]

Brilliant! The kids' voices are amazing, & the clarinet solo is a great touch. Almost forgot to mention the dog, who also eagerly awaits a takeaway. So cute.

[@dellpatterson7438]

Your family is fantastically talented Thank you from Canada 💙💙

[@RemainCalm0007]

dang that older daughter can hit those high notes

[@kimmhazlett3889]

Yes she can!

[@catamongthepigeons6576]

Very talented and a shining example of family togetherness...when the going gets tough....

[@MarshChoir]

Fantastic work! Special shout out to the elder daughter who was coordinating a lot of skills there!

[@TheArchfiend]

You guys are the best thing to come out of COVID-19. Keep up the good work and may you be blessed with a mountain of takeaways.

[@Martial-Mat]

Wow, some amazing voices. Lad at the front is off the charts!

[@purpleunicornmedia]

Yes, that "wimoweh" reworking was outstanding!

[@craigyb71]

I started looking to see which of the girls was singing the intro, not a criticism. Pure .unbroken voice. Simply stunning

[@michw3755]

The kids get a lot of praise, and rightly so, but can we give a shout out to mum, her voice was amazing here WHOOPI WHOOPI GO MATER 👏🤘👏🤘👏

[@poptyboom5317]

Love how u guys come together as a family and do this.. the kids will look back in the future with pride that they did something other than sit on their phones Well done Inspiration

[@karonfrench1012]

Oh my I love you all soooooooo much. You all Ouse talent. Cheer me up no end! 👍🥰

[@krissgraham9941]

As a family, you’re so inspiring. As musicians you’re amazingly talented and all of your voices to me, as I’m sure they are to others, are angelic. Thank you 🙏

[@cindiagarrett9451]

👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Bravo! From New Mexico, USA.

[@fiedelmina]

That girl’s soprano is amazing.

[@lovemusic8176]

Oh wow I love this, I was grinning from ear to ear throughout the whole song ❤️ Never have I been more happy to wake up for a wee in the middle of the night, come back to bed and check the time on my phone, only for KZbin to open up 🤩 I could not resist watching before going back to sleep and you guys did not disappoint!

[@alo03]

Once again, that's so fresh, natural, full of love and visible complicity. Your family shows us a moment when kids and parents seem to share artistic pleasure and creativity ; even if we guess that like in all families, life isn't peaceful everyday, you give us a very nice example of unity and opening to others. Please, keep on the excellent job !

[@willhaymphys]

Still my favourite Marsh Family song of all time. So Positive, relaxing and beautiful sound throughout.

[@hsalle00]

In the US we are snowed in too. It really is nice to see this family.

[@kaml1369]

The Marsh Family aren’t snowed in, we’re in lockdown 😁😁😁

[@notverygoodguy]

Just re-visiting this after a while. It is one of my favourites. Great arrangement and superb performance. Thanks again.

[@leewragg8678]

Only just started listening and watch8ng recently and seen a couple of your Family singing videos. And you're Awesome Marsh Family

[@bostoned]

The older daughter’s voice is a gem. Every time she hits those insanely high notes it’s like striking oil! She has a future.

[@mariok.5859]

Yes, Ella has a beautiful voice.

[@arlovaughan5088]

The youngest has one of the most mature voices I’ve ever heard for someone in her age range

[@madeleinealdridge1788]

I have always seen such promise and potential in young Tess. Both of the girls are really coming along lately. Check out “Waste Man” if you haven’t seen it already, it shows how much they have improved

[@DonnaMayStanish]

madeleinealdridge1788 - ❤️

[@sammynorge]

And three years later this still resonates with this American! In fact, given the plight of my nation, it takes on a whole new meaning. Wish I could just call and order a new, and better, federal administration!!! Thank you for the tear-filled joy this brought to me today!

[@julielewis8887]

You all have AMAZING singing voices and Musical Talent.....I could watch your videos over and over.....They cheer me up. Please keep sharing your music videos even after Lockdown. You all brighten up somebody's day. You should all be so proud of yourselves. You are so well loved. You are a wonderful family and that includes the dog.

[@joannebutcher860]

You are all just great ! Brilliant family of singers all of you.

[@Ketteringham54]

Well done from Melbourne, Australia. We came from Canterbury 50 years ago. We feel your pain but applaud your spirit and, yes just brilliant.

[@TheAscoltati]

....and I went from Ramsgate to Sydney! 😃

[@chessnut4886]

Applaus Applaus. Was für ein wundervolles Spektakel.

[@joangilbert6800]

You know, I find myself listening for the oldest boy's voice. He's especially talented. The whole family is wonderful.

[@margosnyder5311]

Absolutely amazing! So many talented musicians!

[@theaussiebackflipboy]

Not sure I'm going to be able to hear the original without seeing this video in my future. Nice to see a young teen playing the clarinet.

[@manuelcorrea6606]

Love you, this is a brilliant example for a class. You've saved my students

[@nguyetnguyen2718]

Wow Hello from Australia It is so refreshing to hear the family talented voices. Please produce more .

[@coro35]

It's great that you are giving so much enjoyment in this awful time. You all have such great voices...particularly Mum and Dad...both girls ..and Both boys.....well that's all of you. I am fortunate to have three adult daughters who can hold their own....they all can play the pianna better by ear than I can after years of teaching!! [this makes me glad]. and they sang with two granddaughters (6&4) at my retirement Mass; for I am a priest. Thanks for your gift to the world. from Adelaide , South Australia. we are relatively COVID free...though it's raging through our eastern neighbours...and like everyone we live on tenterhooks. Have had two jabs...so should be OK.

[@ogmadetolose1729]

I've watched all the videos on your channel now, this one I think is my favorite; I've listened to it again and again. Everyone is great but in this one Thomas and the older girl with the bat frequencies were standouts!

[@ml1941]

The voices are magnificent!! 👼👼👼👼👼👼And the captions are hilarious 😂 😂😂

[@jacksmith8408]

This Family should be recommended for a”gong” for adding so much cheer to a currently dismal world. Brilliant stuff and all so talented!

[@louisesimpson4521]

Awesome, your video just made my day!

[@roddymackenzie7099]

you are such a talented family. thank you for these videos they really do help make a difference in peoples lives especially right now. best wishes to you all and please stay safe,

[@pdianechambers7909]

Very cLever & GREAT TALENT !!! Wonderful voices. :) :) :) xo

[@diaconos_2005]

Hey! This is Stefan from Germany. I love your singing, and I love the words you sing. It's been a long time that I've been laughing so loud and spontaneously. Thank you so much, and - please - try on! 👋😂🤣😃😙

[@oliviachetcuti225]

This family are awesome! I would love to be a touch as musically talented. ❤

[@headrushindi]

I am floored ! I mean , come on ....You guys are so Brilliant.....You make me smile , and to boot you are all really good..I mean REALLY GOOD. I have been an entertainer all my life , Music , and theater, and performing arts. I think you guys are not just talented, but with the right direction ...very marketable. I know that's probably not your goal but you remind me so much of the family vocal groups in my youth whose voices were so well adapted to blend. Groups like the Osmonds, The Cowsills, etc... If you are this good with minimal post production, I can only imagine what you can accomplish in a dedicated studio .I so look forward to each bit you post . Keep on making musical happiness. I still cant help but wonder what your dog thinks of all of this. He must be amused and confused.

[@LyyliMacDonald]

Love your family. Cheers up a hard time for all of us , thank you

[@AineAdachi]

Seeing that you've uploaded a new video made my day!! Great job to Thomas for the hilarious idea as well as his clarinet playing! Sending love to your beautiful family

[@mirthevisscher9968]

thanks aha I was trying to figure out which one Thomas was

[@anna-loumarshall6471]

Oh my god!! Can’t believe how good this is! And you all sing so well! Bloody bravo BRAVO!🤩🙌🏻

[@janeforrest778]

You guys are just brilliant given us all so much pleasure in these strange uncertain times.Thank you🙂

[@maryzambrana7141]

Brilliant! Thanks for bringing sense to a nonsense time in the world. 😍

[@SignatureCaro]

Cheers to you, Marsh family, for sharing your beautiful voices and making our days brighter! Such a joy to listen to your brilliant adaptations. Blessings

[@DonnaMayStanish]

So much fun! I've loved this song since I was a kid. Your family is wonderful ❤️💯

[@peterdavidthompson4876]

Just brilliant 👏

[@Bill.R.124]

Awesome acoustics. "Clarinet Boy" kills it each time. Awesome voice!

[@racinrick2538]

Those high notes cut through me like a rusted razor blade dipped in battery acid. Well done!

[@philroberts7238]

A somewhat painful image for a well-deserved compliment!

[@augeniasestokaite4674]

My goodness you are absolutely fabulous!!!!

[@lesleymapstone1367]

You are brilliant! Thank-you for your inspiration!!!

[@karenjakobsen3607]

More comedic brilliance from you amazingly talented family. Just brilliant. Thank you all. X

[@karynengland8683]

I’ve binged watched all your videos and they are all amazing, don’t know how you come up with the ideas but keep going, they are a ray of sunshine. Can’t wait for the next one!!

[@arferret]

Absolutely brilliant! Love you guys so much! So much talent!

[@suzywake]

I am so amazed at the wonderful talent in this family; amazing voices, great harmony with such youngsters and now playing instruments too. WOW!

[@anneearley6328]

Your talent and humor is amazing. Thank you for bringing this to the rest of us.

[@brianward7724]

Wow! After this, I really hope you got the takeaway! This is just SO brilliant! Btw, here is Australia, we use dinner or tea but never supper. Dinner can also refer to the Sunday lunch. Thanks for adding some fun into people's lives at such a rotten time in our history!

[@smc1942]

Those new to the Southern States of the USA can get confused, so here's a little help... "Dinner" (for us, from "Diner"; where it's eaten.) is Lunch. "Supper" is the evening meal. Breakfast is the same! Your "takeaway" is our "take out"; same word used whether you picked it up, or had it delivered. I've always been amused how we all speak English, but used different words for the same item. Even here in the States, some say"soda", others "pop", and in the South, it's "coke" whether or not it's Coca Cola! "Want a coke?" "Sure!" "What kind?" "Dr Pepper." Very normal down South! 😁 The different slang is what makes me laugh the most! When I learned the Australian slang "Technicolor yarn" I almost fell out of my chair laughing! That's hysterical!

[@grjlynch]

Wow, such high notes! Musically I think this was the hardest and you nailed it. And I think it has to be a takeaway tonight!

[@brendahamblin4559]

I think what I like best about all of your videos, besides the multi talent of all of you, is the confidence of the kids. Most children wouldn’t be able to do this. Well done Parents for raising such confident children. Thank you.

[@Natalieleu]

What a talented family, so fun to watch and listen to. All have beautiful voices.

[@olliekobold]

it is a delight to watch and hear you guys sing! You're awesomely talented, funny and beautiful!! Please never stop!!

[@josefinasb7643]

Encantador !. Que sigan en esta línea de desarrollo personal, familiar y como músicos !!!

[@CraigSNZ]

Even the subtitles are brilliant. High bat frequency, LOL Wohan that was so good

[@elizabethdentan7847]

From Washington DC- as a public health student, I saw a link to you (One Day More) from the NYT's COVID article summaries. I appreciate this rendition and the unique parts done by all your family (this is my favorite light hearted song of yours/well done by all), but I also really appreciate your vaccine advocacy/public health advocacy through your tweets and the Hallelujah song and also the message behind Amazing Grace. It sounds like doing these songs have been fun for your family, and thank you for the joy you are giving so many people. I hope everyone is staying safe and well.

[@donna6516]

A brilliant, delightful rendition of one of my favorites -- and I'm old enough to remember the original. Here in my part of New Hampshire on the other side of the pond, our midday meal is lunch, the evening meal is supper UNLESS you're sharing the meal with friends, going to a restaurant or adding wine, and then we call it dinner. 'Takeaway' is called 'takeout' here but it seems it should be called 'bring home.' I'm 76 but wondering if you'd be interested in adopting me!

[@jhill74893]

this family's talent just grows with each video.

[@ajsinspiredlife665]

This is awesome ! You are all so talented! What a beautiful family!

[@edgarnapiza4667]

Wow kids have amazing voices! Your creativity as a family during this pandemic is absolutely brilliant! This is all we need during this time to enjoy the present moment instead of overthinking the past and worry the future! Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭!

You people are GREAT..........THANK YOU

[@imogenwatson9703]

I love this so much Tess has such a mature voice for her age and Ellas high notes were lovely Thomas and Alfie amazing voices all of you are amazing 💖💖💖💖

[@bonnierobbins1328]

awesome job.. love you all.. you are great

[@TrishBrewer]

Excellent!!! I'm a performing arts teacher in Melbourne Australia and I plan to use this is class next week! I've already shown the kids (grade 3/4) some of your other videos during lunch eating time. They'll be thrilled to see that you have done a parody of the song that they have just learnt. You even have the same rhythm pattern happening on the clave that I got my students to play on Djembes last week. :-)
