This "other" YU acapella is super excellent on these counts:
1) Its members sing very, very, very good.
2) They have never been on national TV.
3) They unabashedly cover non-Jewish music—unashamed that it is not "Jewish", and non-delusional about passing it off as yes.
We recommend the album, which includes unpretentious covers of "Unprepared" off Lion King, "Misplaced" by Moshav, and more.
A funny side-note: I heard this CD for the first time on Lamed-Beis La'omer and thought: Hmm, let's post an acapella track in honor of...Lag baomer!!! Nahh...
ReplyDeleteFavorite piece: Harmony at 1:40... "You might be a big fish..." [HARMO-LOOOVE!!!] "in a little pond..."
Enjoy!

This arrangement completely misses the heart/message of the song.
