UC Men's Octet - Stayin' Alive

Who says white men can't dance? Spring show 2003.

[@AnonComeI]

as a performer in a collegiate acappella group it's definitely nice when the audience responds during a performance, cause you know that they're enjoying it. and that is, after all, the whole point of why we perform. for the audience to enjoy it. it also gives you more confidence when you're up there singing

[@swanhildm]

They should invest in tickets to the U.K. when the Britain's got talent auditions are running. The Brits would LOVE them.

[@peaceho]

I think that was the most entertaining song/dance/performance this group has ever done (or that I've seen so far). Good work! =]

[@musicamom]

six years after all their rehearsals, this video is addictive...my favorite favorite!!

[@TeaPriestess]

Really well done guys! Great stage presences and the singing was bang on! Great job!

[@Mollielikescats17]

incredible these guys are the best i have ever heard i never get tired of watching them!

[@Coldwind4]

Someone needs to give the singer of this a cookie or something...seriously, perfect vocalist and style for the song. Oh yeah, and the video is pretty damn epic. XD

[@erciasico]

this batch is really great! nice choreography and very entertaining!

[@rvisual]

Classic a cappella performance, thx for posting !

[@edezagon]

I looooved it! music, choreography and all!. I wish they'd have a reunion (now that all members are all over the place) and make a real video and recording. Man, I'd fly anywhere to see them!

[@cochinamocos]

one of the BEST UC OCTETS ever! you guys should have a reunion show! i'd buy tickets for that! c/o 2000...sad i missed out on you guys!

[@jasony4]

[@rundoetx]

[@akaginger3]

I love watching videos, they're hilarious!!!! They were great dancers :D

[@asphipps1]

Your joking?! The singing was completely in tune and sung 100% professionally! Best acapella group i've heard in a long time!

[@Kunzey78]

This group is amazing the singers hitting the high notes is what its all about

[@Gringanica]

Unbelievably GREAT!!! Keep up the good work guys. You just made my day!!

[@kungfudoggie]

Hey, you guys are great dancers! Good moves.

[@azn1stknightsoul1]

I had no idea this could be acapella. Well done.

[@geometric2]

everything this group does is amazing!

[@Cassy1plus2]

Oh shnap! freken awesome/hilarious. Nice dancing xDD. Plus luv the singing, expecially at the begginging. I like the baw baw baw and doo doo doo doo xDD nice :D

[@myrtemans]

They are in one word: AWESOME!!! great performance guys!

[@uncomfortablepanda]

one of my favs this one!

[@museofcolgate]

Fabulous and impressive as usual. And Kenny is absolutely hilarious!

[@Amberke93]

my mouth was wide open when I saw this xD I love these guys !

[@007qtpie]

this never ceases to amuse me

[@TREholic]

what a pity, to miss out on performing like that. they're an awesome group!

[@DealyRizazamatizazz]

Excellent dancing Ken

[@ihatemrbean]

HAHA! THE end was hilarious!!!! repeat the last 6 seconds 1 million times! :))

[@OnceUponAMidnightDreary]

Um, yeah. This is basically the most awesome thing I have ever seen in my life. Wow!

[@monkfan72]

That. Is. Tragic. Get to Berkeley and hang you of Sproul on Wednesday at 1 pm and get that experience. :) I've yet to see them perform live, but I hope to go to Spring Show. I've got a lot of their music, though, so that helps. :)

[@H41TCH41TCH41TCH]

2:19 is the greatest moment in dancing history. And I mean that.

[@musicchic28]

love the dancing!!!!!

[@MasterofEtherium]

These guys are awesome!

[@rickcoona]

true enough, but the camera was in the middle of the audience with no audio feed from the mixing board, ether the camera couldn't handle a separate mic input, or (more likely) it was someone in the audience videotaping it.

[@cat4uhere]

Incredible voices, incredible fun.

[@cecisota12]

THIS. IS. FREAKING. INSANELY. AWESOME. i sense overwhelming amounts of win in this sector.

[@vanessagarbelotti]

Muito Bommmmm!!!!!! Adoreiii

[@lechelondrio]

muy divertido!!! apoyado en unas voces espectaculares! los felicito!

[@ipoderma]

Great! they are really great.

[@EvilPandaShizue]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!

[@PhantomMaestro]

THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!!!

[@Dragon_grl86]

OMG.. yall are soo good...

[@monkfan72]

2000 had a great Octet as well. I wouldn't complain. :)

[@Khei25]

love it so much

[@OsiaSharapova]

You are GREAT GUYS!!!

[@Shaowl1]

This really made my day!

[@KissdaKittyKat]

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER SEEN.

[@greendayrockdude]

EPIC WIN. :D Kenny has got to be the best dancer I have ever seen.

[@monkfan72]

@scarlotty123 They did. It's called Octopella, but this song isn't featured on it.

[@dandooded]

Man im a beatboxer and i love making music with my mouth but this is just inspiring!

[@KidaZephyrPiper]

This is awesome!

[@cochinamocos]

thanks monkfan72! unfortunately for me...i missed out on those guys too! i can't believe 4 years of walking through sather gate and i never saw the octet perform...and sadly i have yet to even attend a football game! what's wrong with me? lol :)

[@PirateNinjaCookies]

@mickeyd6971 this college is so large and has so many people, there is no way SO many of them know these performers to create that much applaud its one of the best colleges in the area its quite amazing these people are so brilliant, and can do this as well

[@FayeJen]

love them all!

[@monkfan72]

@RinRanThatWay It's called falsetto. It's just singing like a girl. He solos in Let's Stay Together and Bohemian Rhapsody if you want to check out his non-falsetto voice.

[@LDSProduction23]

yo guys are fantastic!

[@mickeyd6971]

@ludjo81 This is at a college, so most of the people there more than likely know who they are and may be friends with them. Also the audience would more than likely be excited to see their friends up there. would you never do this when you were in school and you saw your friends up on stage doing something as this?

[@jerseygirl474]

VERY impressed ... I can't even hit those notes!!!

[@BaritoneStud3]

lol. those are the kind of things my friends expect me to listen to and are all surprised when they listen to the music on my zune. Apparently now I'm a "gangsta." =]

[@wejner]

Jeez I LOOOOVE these guys, where can I apply?:D

[@doctorwhom1]

what we are hearing is pure talent, what we are seeing is something else entirely

[@daani829]

this just made my day! :)

[@lauriendr1991]

AMAZING!!!!!

[@mcnultysfan]

THAT WAS SO FRICKEN COOL i will find them all and make them mine they are so rad

[@monkfan72]

@tmac3323 These guys are also real students who do this in their spare time. They write their own arrangements, work out their own choreo, and book their own shows. This group is student directed, has been around, continuously, since 1948. The current members are in Beijing as we speak - performing for the people there. Glee is what it is. It's a Hollywood production. I'm not dissing it, but these guys are so legit it's almost laughable to compare them.

[@GuitaristInProgress]

WOW. Bravo! Fived and faved!

[@mordby]

wooooow that is soo awesome your are amazing jajaj looool

[@tiggerbell332]

do they have cd's or dvd's? they r really good!! where r they from?

[@littleblossom79]

omg this is awesome!

[@tracksensations]

Haha exactly the same although I wasn't prepared to admit it- I'm also a teenager right now- not even my era either :P

[@cmcwoodard]

your amazing!

[@monkfan72]

The eighth Octet guy left the group earlier in the semester to focus on academics. Octet-ing requires lots of commitment - 11 hours weekly just for rehearsing. When they have to perform, that requires extra.

[@scarlotty123]

Book a studio and get some recordings done. We'd miss the dance moves of course, but the singing is so spectacular!

[@midnightbreeze2]

omg...take me now! seriously any one of them could have me whenever. GAH! im such a band geek!

[@littleripper312]

I love these funny choir groups the US universities have. A lot of them are pretty entertaining if not more then actual celebrities

[@roraranita]

Amazing!

[@gmhots]

@monkfan72 They're pretty good (I've only heard them perform twice, and not yet with the new members, so) I'm a huge a cappella fan btw (and I miss performing it myself ):)

[@Leccarospi]

one of the best song in my opinion ^^

[@weekendwarrior8404]

These guys seriously KICK ASS!!!!! I love it!! ^_^

[@6tinkerbelle9]

lol Kenny your the sexiest dancer i have ever seen in my life!! :P

[@gaesba]

Son geniales... They are amazing

[@Thilath]

OH MY GOD XDD I nearly pissed myself laughing at the pose they make at the end xDDD AMAZING.

[@Amandat170]

hehehehe. The soloist is awesome. I immediately thought of Justin Timberlake's portral of Barry Gibb on SNL a couple of years ago.

[@monkfan72]

@tmac3323 as far as I know, there isn't just one video, but if you watch all of the videos by kennyk314, it's the whole show.

[@monkfan72]

XD Yes!!!....I have to wonder how large the Octet's repertoire is.

[@TouchOfHell]

Nice Job guys! Keep working :) 5 *

[@mzhaano16]

i would love to hear them sing unchained melody!!!!

[@zannybato]

OH WOW. I love these guys.

[@monkfan72]

@LucioMaximo He's in a band called the Sunrunners now.

[@krastiel]

que buenos son,que buen show

[@worldismarble]

I heart so much!
