The fact that this didn’t get them in top 5 is... bananas. But in all seriousness, this felt right in line with the barbershop style, they were in-sync and in tune, the arrangement was solid, and it was extremely entertaining. No wonder they started to get more passive-aggressive after this year lol
The following year, they did a parody of All Star and there was a bit where they were singing “you’re and all star (points to each other), and you’re an all star (points to audience), and you’re an all star (points to audience center), and… not quite (pointing to the judges)
@@nathanapplegate5374 Taking good-natured pot shots at judges is classic barbershop competition fodder, and in no way is indicative of them expecting to have gotten better scoring.
Their sense of humor is so unique, it gives them such entertaining character. On top of that incredible sound, I think they'll be champs not too long from now.
The 2 year old I babysit asked to watch this today! She said "I wanna watch bana phone." We haven't watched it in a while, but she remembered it and wanted to watch it! I was pleased!!! I always get excited when she wants to watch barbershop! 😁😁😁
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394i don’t have barbershop experience but i did acapella in college and my group competed in icca. all the groups competing loved watching each other and were super friendly. just because you’re competing for first place doesn’t mean you can’t be big fans of each other
So sad this group broke up during COVID. But appreciative of their very honest and open message about their reasons. It sounded like it was just too mentally and financially difficult to keep traveling while holding jobs, having families, etc. Sad, but glad they are able to still be friendly.
Love this quartet. Tight harmonies, great blend, so stinkin fun and funny!!!! Hope they win someday. Am I the only one that loves Ryan's face (the bari) at 3:03? Lol. Also, shout out to Kohl Kitzmiller (bari of Instant Classic, sorry if I misspelled it...) for this arrangement, great puns haha.
I'm interested to learn how one can be both a tenor AND a bari, but anyway, if you come to the central coast-ish of California they do a lot of community barbershop events around there, I've had the honor of meeting them a few times, and even have a t-shirt signed by all four of them, if you are interested at all, they will be at a Harmony Camp September 8-10 in pollock pines, which is between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe
🎶"If you like to waltz with tomatoes, up and down the produce aisle..."🎶 All I could think of while listening to this haha. Awesome job buddies, y'all are the best.
OMG! I haven't heard this song in 15 years. It was on the first cassette tape I ever got and came with the walkman I got for christmas. I used to love this song until the tape broke. I love it! Yay!
The Newfangled Four is gonna be a crowd favorite until they die
I️ hate to say I️t but they are the next Main Street
Nah man, main street is the next Main Street.
I'm just saying that they are kinda simular..
oh yeah! they are. And no ill mention of Main Street, but they are older than The Four, in time, but also. We now have both of them!!!
Frak- For sure
They'll win one day.
Holden Montgomery I really hope so
They've already won my heart and probably a few competitions.
I hope not then they couldn’t compete anymore
One day....
They'll settle for 5th ;)

They were clearly enjoying themselves, they moved around and kept the energy up, and it was a solid arrangement. This was top 5 material.

Even if they didnt make top five it was still... apeeling
This is the pinnacle of our growth as a society.
In bunches.
Matthew Hopper you misspelled pineapple
....It's supposed to be pinnacle, not pineapple....
The joke flew right over your head. Don't be a lemon ;)
nah, they somehow managed to make bananaphone boring imo...
Before the movie starts make sure to turn off all your Bananullar devices
Lmaoooooooo
Good one mate

That Stockholm joke was absolutely amazing
Could you explain, please? I do not get it.
Ricardo Morsa Stockholm Syndrome sang a song where they used hair spray as part of their gag its just a small joke

I sooooo want a bananaphone! Guys, you are perfect! 🎶💕💕💕💕💕🎶
I like how they named a bunch of [family name] phones just to make the gramophone joke at 2:55
It's in the original song
Yeah it's actually a song by Raffi for little kids. I used to listen to it when I was little.
I never realized it was a joke about a gramophone. I thought it was just grandma phone
@@figment616 - I dont even know if it was a joke in the original song. I think they might have just realized there was potential there
In the original version the gramophone joke was probably the easiest joke to miss, so it makes sense they emphasized it in this version.
Starting at 3:37 it's incredible to hear them all modulate and hear that chord ring in tune with their harmonies
the fact that they used the “phone with appeal” joke 3 times and managed to make it funny every time is amazing

They didn't break up. Ryan left the group. Marcus eventually joined the group and whilst they have yet to win they have at least made the five.
They're around and better than ever! We miss Ryan but Marcus is also a killer bari
Love this quartet. Tight harmonies, great blend, so stinkin fun and funny!!!! Hope they win someday. Am I the only one that loves Ryan's face (the bari) at 3:03? Lol. Also, shout out to Kohl Kitzmiller (bari of Instant Classic, sorry if I misspelled it...) for this arrangement, great puns haha.

3:39 Reminds me of the THX intro.
Are we not gonna take about how good 2:58 is? Like that part is so clean
Even more brilliant than I remembered. Like a Pixar film I'll have to watch and listen to a ton of times to try to catch all of the awesome gags.

Things get so much better😂
You should see the next time they do Bananaphone...

They are my favorite quartet in the entire world i love them. They help me have more comedy with my quartet. Hope i can meet them one day
young astro They inspired me to join a quartet when I'm ready. I want to meet them too lol. I hope you get to meet them
Daniel Pham awesome dude whats your voice part?
young astro Gotta love the lead part. I expected to be something like a baritone but Im lead. "It's the best, beats the rest!" Lol what is yours?

As the algorithm has just started handing me the Newfangled Four, they seem to be winning the internet.
0:26 IM CRYING
I'm delighted Amy Rose recognized this had to be one of the first videos to release!
Thanks Amy!
Not just my call... the whole team was in agreement about halfway through the song. I just get to flip the switch! - Amy
Mosquitoes be like 0:32
The Large Ginger is such an 'every troupe' character
2:57 "Oh yeah"... love it.
The Gramophone pun is so good
I'm so glad I can come back to watch these guys performances years later. I still cheer up every time I watch them.
These quartet always making me cry in laughter.
they've got to win 1st place someday
Its the phone with appeal... DANG IT! gets me every time
love the Ring-a-Ding-Ding! riff at 2:05
OMG! I haven't heard this song in 15 years. It was on the first cassette tape I ever got and came with the walkman I got for christmas. I used to love this song until the tape broke. I love it! Yay!
3:42 Jaxt7 knew they nailed it
you can not be sad and watch this at the same time it’s impossible
Scientific tests confirm.
I've seen this video several times, but I just realized this was uploaded on my birthday
Man that’s fore banana sing really good
These are the only guys I enjoy watching in barbershop harmony
How can they not win??? Nobody could possibly be better than they are!

Blue Hill Four from Canton, Ma. Would have loved this. God Bless them comedy quartet*
That was epic, they did an amazing job, amazing flash back as well being a kid & hearing/watching that flash cartoon.. oh good times being a kid.
This is beyond perfect.
You guys kill it every time!
To all the DCI fans, NF4 are the Bluecoats of Barbershop

hello?
hello?
I'm sorry I cant hear you I have a banana in my ear.
That made me laugh. Here, have a like.
Fozzie Bear!
Comedy
Heheh
This is hilarious! It''s funny songs like that I love to hear! The classics are good too but new funny stuff is the way of the society I believe!
I haven't screamed yes so hard in a long time, BananaPhone has to be my most fav song ever.
That was really fun.
they work together so well.
Once again another spine tingling performance gentleman. Absolutely amazing harmonies. ❤❤❤
Gonna miss these guys so much.
This cover is brilliant and fun
These guys win my heart every time!
Heard these guys perform in Charlotte, North Carolina at the "Gold Standard" concert about a month before the convention. They brought down the house!
I absolutely love these guys. :)
Omg I've listened to this a hundred times and just got the phone tag joke.
Oh guys you are adorable, funny, and so easy on the eyes😊😂
I love them in those colors
Jackson is my favorite lead ever!
Fabulous.
Fantastic entertainment guys!
I can't stop watching this. It's so good.
Amazing stuff! I love listening to barbershop quartets, particularly since I am sucker for those nicely blending large final chords!
My three year old can’t stop acting out Jackson’s “it’s a phone with appeal DANGIT” but.
3:11 we don’t do this anymore jackson, we talk about grownup things… like Stonehenge
And wishing boots!
I met New Fangled Four a couple weeks ago and they are literally so nice and talented!!
They sound amazing, together!
Does Raffi know about this fabulous cover? Dude seems like the type of guy who'd completely dig it.
Kristine B. Raffi literally just posted this video on his Facebook page! He's seen it and he loves it !
@@alonzomourning33 Excellent!
And one of their few covers that keeps the original lyrics too!
@@faith1characterhope I think the only change is from "operator give me Beijing" to "operator give me Stockholm Syndrome" if I recall correctly.
I would have liked to see him and Creber credited.
Damn. That very last note they hit was pure perfection
Love these guys
I've watched this on the delayed webcast more times than I care to admit...
Love it!
gotta always watch these videos literally 4 times to see each face exprecions over the performance
i love the singing and all around! awesome!
This is the most fun song these guys have done
It’s excellent
These guys are amazing
LOVE THESE GUYS
Hahahaha Banana Phone is so funny. I Love it.
Wait
at 2:01
Jackson told a joke without messing it up and then going 'dang it' at the very end
I cannot like this enough
A week or two ago I searched up bananaphone and found this.
I then fell into a rabbit hole.
No one knows who won this contest, but everyone will forever remember these guys!
cant WAIT for these lads to hit Aussie shores!!!!
I just realized that the last words of this arrangement are “boopy doop bodoop doop, Phone Tag”
That’s amazing
I love this, I cannot believe this is still popular just wow.
A Raffi song in Barbershop? GENIUS!!!!
I've been hooked to NF4 these past few days. I rewatch their performances every night. It's really sad Ryan is leaving the group... :'(
The best part of this entire video is definitely the "a bung bung" at the end. So satisfying to hear
Perfect
Too cute!
I live listening to them
these guys have such a great ,and slanted look at songs!
Ahh I remember the first time I heard bananaphone. It was on ebaumsworld. Fuck. Good memories, man. Memorized the lyrics and sang it so many times.
I love the sound of that CMaj7 on "Operator give"
Yeah that just s C R a t C H e S your brain doesn't it
@@slaughterofelysium Yeah haha
awesome!
