The Headless Horseman | Bobby Waters

[@HalfMoonHunter]

Hey, I managed to make the lyrics for this version of the song (I copied and adjusted parts from different sources). So here they are: Now, gather 'round while I elucidate On what happens outside when it gets late 'Long about midnight the ghosts and banshees Get together for their nightly jamborees. There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes And some with fangs about this size Some short and fat, some tall and thin And some don't even bother to wear their skin I'm tellin' you brother, it's a frightful sight To see what goes on in the night. When the spooks have a midnight jamboree They break it up with fiendish glee Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed Is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst. When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land Holdin' a noggin in his hand Demons take one look and groan And hit the road for parts unknown. And there's no wraith like a spook that's spurned They don't like him, and he's really burned He swears to the longest day he's dead He'll show them that he can get a head. So close all the windows, lock the doors Unless you're careful, he'll get yours Don't think he'll hesitate a bit 'Cause he'll flip your top if it'll fit. And he likes 'em little, likes 'em big Part in the middle, or a wig Black or white or even red The Headless Horseman needs a head. With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop He's out lookin' for a head to chop So don't stop to figure out a plan You can't reason with a headless man. Now if you doubt this tale is so I met that spook just a year ago Now I didn't stop for a second look But made for the bridge that spans the brook ... For once you cross that bridge, my friends The ghost is gone, his power ends! So when you're riding home tonight Make for the bridge with all your might He'll be down in the hollow there He needs your head, look out, beware With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop He's out looking for a head to swap So don't try to figure out a plan You can't reason with a headless man.

[@olabergvall3154]

Like so many spook stories in every part of the world, to get children to come home safe and hop into bed. I know I had my fair share as a kid

[@stacielivinthedream8510]

OMG! That voice! ♥️🫠

[@PeterBarber]

Nice work my man! So much fun and those low notes sound glorious as always 👏🏼👻

[@Aegis824]

This man has got vibrato at a C2. I’m done.

[@JeffMountainPicker]

Yes, that is a DEEP voice. I'd have to look it up. What frequency is that; about 8 Hz? 😮

[@ToastedButter6812]

​@JeffMountainPicker like 60 hz I think

[@17ischaemia]

​@@JeffMountainPicker65Hz

[@Guest7289.0]

​@@JeffMountainPicker thats like a C-1💀

[@brenden5763]

Always absolutely killing the Thurl Ravenscroft style!

[@Kfantasy_98]

My thoughts exactly!

[@MarwanAyman3]

You absolutely nailed this my guy, too epic. 👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@tobascoheat6582]

Goosebumps as always! Nice work, Bobby! 👍

[@lizzardmarie1956]

Best version I have ever heard. Thurl Ravenscroft would be proud!!!!😊😊

[@Xx-DreadfulGhost]

He makes every song 100 × better-

[@Nufarella]

I think that’s a level up above what I have been hearing of you till now. Really good. You hold a solo of your own very well, not just adding a 2nd voice to a singer. And there’s softness, playfulness, bubbly swing and storytelling. Also the video editing has creative sides.

[@the.bobbybass]

Thank you very much! :)

[@dindaazzahra5842]

I already love this man's voice since the first couple seconds

[@tracyz9155]

I like the deep roundness of your bass tones. Very clear words (similar to Thurl Ravenscroft). I’d forgotten there were so many verses to the song. Thanks for the video

[@christianehetfleisch8719]

Eine Wunderbare Stimme war

[@bradybronstetter3343]

Your voice gives me chills I have never heard such a clean baritone that sounds so effortless your a true treasure

[@Bass68195]

Ah yes. Baritone.

[@17ischaemia]

a baritone? you're obviously confusing something

[@kathrin9674]

he is more on the bass side, but the rest is absolutely true.

[@grobanite4ever85]

He is a Basso profundo

Excellent work. Almost had me add the end for some reason but you surprised me🤣🔥

[@js_musicmedia8981]

I hope this gets just as much recognition as Geoff's cover, because it's just as great!

[@floriandevet6256]

Pretty hahah lav it .halloweeeen songs on that voicee

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

This is clean!!!! What a smooth voice!! Velvety!!! I wouldn’t say it is like Avi Kaplan’s voice but you have there your own vocal quality. In the future people might say about someone else, perhaps a young bass who just started his singing, that he has your voice....... “your voice sounds like Bobby Water’s voice” (The smooth and velvety sound is when you sing a bit higher but your lows are very strong; heavy and darker than what we might expect after hearing you highs)

[@Broomrider1492]

This was great, but Geoff killed with his video, glowing red eyes, and those lows at the end. His Monster Mash this year was so much fun.

[@Justasykoseashell]

I'd like to see that kind of video editing with this guy's voice.

[@red5250]

Ok but Geoff had a budget and Bobby was making it for a college class so you don’t need to say that lol

[@untoldpaine]

i just absolutely love catchy halloween swing music! i need more songs with lyrics like this.

[@utilisateur24323]

Cette voix....😍 Magique ,magnifique ,enveloppante, rassurante,apaisante ...👌

[@Marcell0Bass]

Love all the bits you added in!

[@estellecarlson6842]

The minute it started playing it was like I was transported! His voice is absolutely insane.

[@sleepyoldtiger372]

Wow! Those bass notes!!! Beautiful voice!

[@rickykumar8595]

Why such a goosebumps voice yet not cross 100 million in one years🤔🫡

[@НатальяХрипкова-з4я]

Какой красивый голос! Это божественно! Спасибо Вам и удачи!

[@nikkibanning176]

Love both this and Geoff C's version, both very clear, yours has a more classical sound. Love your velvety rounded tones.

[@yabnku]

wow!

[@geraldinejavier8932]

Very good I really enjoyed it, the very last bit where it talks about the Ichabod crane and how he didn’t have a head and that it was on the saddle horn was just creepy.

[@user-fo8zs4zg5g]

Господи, какой вам голос дарован!!!! И артистичность!!! Браво! Удачи вам !

[@elainelook2630]

This is my favorite song and now I heard this it's my favorite now and I always listen to this all the time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hollishan]

Your sound is absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing more of your work! (New subscriber btw.) 😁

[@Teas333]

Thanks!

[@A.I.R.Song2701]

Wow I cant get over that powerful voice he could out-sing some birds. Also the faces he does its very dramatic in a good way

[@Gozersinventions]

This is just brilliant!

[@isikzsuzsa]

❤

[@summerz8867]

Excellent!👍😽🌿

[@tobascoheat6582]

This is a great cover of this song. I always enjoy watching it again. You may already know this but ICHABOD means "the glory of God has departed". It's from the Bible, but I can't remember what book it's out of. It was actually a curse rather than a name as it has worked out to be. It would be a terrible name to give a child or a terrible name to have! 😏😏😏

[@mr.gasmask4289]

This is great

[@do0myk]

bery nice

[@wolfgirl0410]

You truly are talented! Thank you for sharing your amazing bass voice with everyone! Love videos I've seen from you! The songs you've done with Malinda are also truly amazing!

[@unknownstranger3646]

I remember when i use to listen to this song, good to hear another versión of it. On Halloween no less

[@warrenjones7636]

Awsome❤

[@efes_art2136]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@kmwwrench]

Lovely, velvety voice and a very fun song. I'm a little late to the party, but just in time for this year's Halloween.

This whole vid was excellent, including the narration in the middle and at the end. Total thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍😎

This is honestly amazing! Silky smooth Bass you have. Amazing job! :3

[@GuilhermeDinizLZ]

What a voice!!!!😮

[@MrFileasfogg2]

I love it

[@Farfilliaisloved]

Bobby Bass, has the best low voice I have heard, it's actually pretty amazing to be honest! Keep it up Bobby!

[@Clair1801]

Malinda is lovely, and the other Wellermen are great, but it would really enjoyable to hear a few full songs of just Bobby, no one else. You got a great voice man.

[@carolynrosser1574]

I just ADORE your voice, the deepest notes turn me to jelly! You look divine as well.

[@TheMusicPinkLover91]

Telling you you have an amazing voice is an understatement. You deserve much more subscribers!!

That voice! Splendid

[@olabergvall3154]

Great performance! I thought Marwan would be involved in the editing because it looked like his work, but Kudos to you! Everyone and his mother will be comparing this to Mr Castellucci's rendition, I think that is missing the point. You did great in this, a great tribute to the version by T Ravencroft

[@audreyvalek1822]

Ok, your blinking or lack of blinking is freaking me out.

[@animeaunty]

I just realized a wine room like this would b a great place to sing/record. The cubbies plus bottles act like rudimentary sound traps 👍

[@AusTheBassBoss]

Bobby kind of sounds like Geoff Castellucci!

[@jameshagerman7681]

Similar but unique. Bobby seems to have a warmer tone while Geoff can hit crazy subharmonic notes and hold them longer than I expect no matter how many times I hear him. Geoff I also think has a higher natural range than Bobby

[@luscao8444]

@@jameshagerman7681 Bobby's low chest are rich, maybe I seem crazy saying that, but that's true, his voice is more bassy.

[@dreir1321]

bobby has a much warm, rich and dark tone and timbre than Geoff, while Geoff has a heavier tone. but yeah, sounds "kinda similar"

[@luscao8444]

@@dreir1321 Yeah, even richer than Avi, and Avi has pretty rich low notes.
