That's why people become actors, musicians, sport players. Also why they become scientists and researchers. The happiest people are the ones who find the job where they can have fun - but *fun* is not the same than amusement. Fun is fulfilling.

Layne in the back just casually doing the Floss and Geoff ending with a tiny marmoset on his head is perfect. Cesar is such a ham for the camera, Eli taking over the raindrop sound and J. None are just the cherry on top. I've been having a really rough week and Voiceplay never fails to put a goofy grin on my face. This song in particular brings back good memories of being much younger and silly in the car with my little sisters, bouncing back and forth while stepmom drove and sang along. I'm fixing to share the link with them right now.

[@lkayh]

Just goes to show they don’t need the sets, makeup and whole production to make us smile-they made my week, too!

The lion may sleep tonight, but nobody should be sleeping on this incredibly beautiful rendition of this song and this incredibly hilarious video! Well done guys!

This is soooo good! I love how the bass guy and the beat box guy got a solo line. It’s nice when everyone gets to sing

[@celticphoenix2579]

The bass singer in particular has a voice that is like stepping into a perfect temperature bath after a long week and finally feeling every muscle relax all at once. The rest of the group brings the ambiance of rain gently falling outside, scented oils and tropical plants, a light mist on the water. Just perfection for relaxation.

I feel like this includes EVERYTHING that we love VoicePlay for! The HIGH vocals, the low vocals, the crazy arrangement and of course the shenanigans! Just perfect! And my goodness Cesar just hit whistle register notes up to D6 at the end! What a champ! First ever vocal whistle notes used in a VoicePlay cover. SICK!

That was a penny whistle in the original song? I listened to it yesterday and thought it was a trumpet or some other horn instrument!

The original in 1939 had no whistle. Did you listen to the English version by The Tokens?

This is so funny ! I could not stop laughing with Eli's appearance while J. None was making his crazy solo. But Cesar, dear Cesar, let me tell you something: if your notes had been just a little bit higher you would be heard only by dogs. Layne, you are a GENIUS. Thank you for this unbelievable arrangement. There's so many things to enjoy in this video. I've seen it at least twenty times (and counting...).
