"The Bare Necessities" is from Disney's "The Jungle Book".
Music Written by Terry Gilkyson
Originally Performed by Phil Harris as Baloo
This version of the song was produced/ arranged/ and sung (singed?) by yours truly, please be kind on the upper harmony parts, I'm not a tenor.
Mixed by Ed Boyer. Thank you, Ed.
🎸 I used Native Instruments Session Guitarist "Strummed Acoustic" to create the entire instrumental to go along with this song. It's an incredible plugin and if you should want to check it out - here's the link: bit.ly/3fvp1yN (this is not a paid endorsement, but Native Instruments...send the check 🤣 )
Thanks again for watching!
Can we agree that if we hear him singing Hellfire would be AMAZING?
It would, but I'm not sure he'd cover it as it's kinda overdone at this point (plus there was a snippet of it in the Disney villain compilation)
Yes
YES!!!!! That would be awesome
Absolutely
I don’t even now what that song but it sound cool as hell so yes
The only real necessity is this video
True

Geoff: "be kind for the upper harmonies, I'm not a tenor"
*proceeds to sing the upper harmonies better than most of tenors*
He's using falsetto
@@raulsardeni2372 I know
A common choir joke I remember was that basses made the best tenors. It's obviously more to fuck with tenors but there is a slight truth behind the fact that basses tend to have SUPER strong and controlled falsettos.
Always loved basses in their head voice
@@xxgremlinsxx So true. And not just in choir, in most musical areas. Basses are just good at it all
Seriously! When I was a small child, a pediatrician thought that I’d be a low bass-a Bass 2. When I finally sang choir 40 years later, the director put me as a Tenor 1.
2:12 tenor range
2:18 Bass range
VoicePlay: So Geoff where can you sing?
Geoff: Yes
Thanks for watching everyone! I'm consistently humbled by the kindness and support you guys show me and to VoicePlay. You're the best. Stay safe out there and keep smiling!
This video the whole time had me at 😍 I JUST SOOO LOVE YOU'RE VOICE! And your pretty hair that deserves not to be cut!☺
This is wonderful!! Keep these coming
You should do a cover of autumn leaves
Freaking amazing Geoff! Thank you for this. One of my best friends is a huge fan of yours and is geeking out for this vid! He is getting really good at vocal fry and is working on approximating your range :)
You are are incredibly talented!!!
Geoff: I'm not a tenor
Also Geoff: killing the high note beautifully
Geoff: I'm not a bass
Also Geoff: G1
Jamie Milbourne hahah, he does that through a technique called subharmonics, it gets your note an octave lower
Edit: Ya, he can do it in chest too, but the subharmonic technique helps too! Sorry for the confusion guys!
Just like when he was in toxic audio and they covered Grace Kelly. He hit high notes at the end after singing bass notes throughout the rest of the song
@@sirploom nope, he hit a G1 and even an E1 in chest at some point
@@amber-yj1gm At first I was surprised by Geoff's high notes in this and then said outloud to nobody, "but he did do those high notes in Grace Kelly"...
I just forgot since that was so long ago. Lol!
His vocal range, is just out of this world.
I am getting addicted to hear his songs ❤😂❤
Not only does Geoff sing pitch perfect across a unbelievable vocal range, but his rhythm and sense of timing is impeccable. He really makes this old classic swing. What an artist 😊
One thing that I find amazing about him is all of his songs, his whole range, is so effortless. He doesn't strain to hit any super high nor any extremely low notes. It all has a gentle, relaxing sound.
Now i cant speak for everyone, but i can pretty confidently say that we all want a full cover of Be prepared
Edit: and any Thurl Ravenscroft song would be *T H I C C*
Yes absolutely, that’d be amazing
You speak for everyone with sanity, dear friend.
You speak for pretty much everyone, I hope Geoff does it soon, imagine him singing deep notes throughout the song!
Looks like you have to make another video of geoff hihi
Yes!
So, Geoff, I hear you’re interested in joining our vocal group. What part do you sing?
Geoff: Yes.
🤣
The only problem with Geoff is that he stops singing when the song ends.
You hade me in the first half ngl
Hello Geoff. I love your incredible cover of SIXTEEN TONS written by my father, Merle Travis. Tennessee Ernie Ford made it the hit that brought the plight of coal miners to the world eye, but it is also a song that any person that feels they work hard without getting ahead can relate to. Your voice is just, wow! Thank you for sharing your talent.
xo Merlene
Your dad was amazing Miss Merlene! He's one that I wished was immortal when I was a child ❤️
Bless you and thank you and you’re family for the wonderful song! I’d hope to get some more acknowledgement on this. If you could perhaps make a video on the subject, that might be appreciated! Thank you
yeah your not her. 1 she would have commented that on the sixteen tons video. 2 travis is only her madien name her names is merlene maggini,
@@harveypotter8749 doesn't mean she wouldn't use her dads last name at some point.
Oh course you're going to get some na-sayers. But if you are truly Merlene Travis, and your father wrote 16 tons... The one song that Tennessee Ernie Ford sang and made famous.....this Geoff Castelucci is the next best Singer. Try replacing Roy Clark for guitar player. Arms crossed, toes tapping, waiting impatiently.
"Can you sing tenor or bass?"
Geoff: yes
actually, it should be
Geoff: yeos
@@aryamanneelakantan7882 lmaooo
@@aryamanneelakantan7882 I wanted to comment the exact same thing
and a bit of octavist at times
edit: neeeeeeeevermind
Geoff: Yeos.
Man's voice is lower than my self-esteem
I AM THE ALMIGHTY 69TH LIKE
And his teeth are brighter than my future ...
@@mehurar XD
And higher than your hopes?
😂😂😂😂
I can't figure out which one is actually his normal voice. So good😍
haha, it can be hard to tell with Geoff! but his most natural range is the middle where his normal speaking voice is. which is baritone. if you listen to his Shenandoah song, the "second Geoff" has a whole verse in his most natural voice.
I discovered this man and his voice when I was searching for the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol. He did such a good reading that I searched for more and then more and now I am a huge fan!
2:34 Funny detail! When he hits the low g you can see by his right shoulder that he puts his hand down and forward as he always does when he sings low. You can tell here without seeing his hand lol
I totally did. I can't help myself.
@@GeoffCastellucci 😂😂
Can i like this comment like 20 more times? 😂😂😂
Sophia Prost, yes, you can, but you have to unlike it 19 times in between them, and it’ll still only end up with one like from you. But if it makes you feel better, go for it!
@@DennisKovacich 😂😂
Geoff: I'm not a tenor...
Also Geoff: *has more notes in his chest range than I have total*
You should hear him do the “Oogie Boogie’s Song.” He sounds freaking awesome there.
Also Geoff: Belts a B4 in Oogie Boogie's song, and a Eb5 in Queen in Five Minutes
@@wihcin.3488 true
Would also like to hear you sing "be prepared" from the lion king... 😍 your voice is wow!❤
Yes
@@calmdownkaylaapostolicpent7660 I know! Imagine him singing Walk the Line by Johnny Cash! 😄😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Such a cute version of this song 😊 Geoff is adorable, and his vocal range is stellar 😊
Heck yeah he is! 😍😍 He is way too cute to be considered old!
This goes without saying: "The sound of silence"
He already did a collab with Peter Hollens one that one my boi
Tales from the Abyss no, that was tim foust
Tales from the Abyss that was tim Foust not Geoff 😂
Tales from the Abyss Lmao that was Fim Foust
@@talesfromtheabyss8151 wasn't that tim foust?
“Bass cover”
First 10 seconds: *lovely tenor notes*
At my age, when a voice actually impresses and amuses me, it is a voice that should be paid attention to. Thank you!
This man's range is unbelievable
I think a Disney villain cover would be great. Be Prepared, Hellfire, or Friends on the Other Side would be fun. Or of course, a Thurl song. Love the chest G1’s, too :)
Love to hear a Thurl song and his Phat G1 is probably his best since white Christmas
@@Marcell0Bass Funny you say that . I've been thinking for the past few months, how it would be if Geoff sang a Thurl song. I feel You're a mean one,Mr.Grinch is an awesome song quite popular, however the headless horseman is something that people never cover . Or even maybe an " Asleep in the deep ". Another funny thing, Thurl actually has sung bare necessities . Thurl's version was actually the original version for the Jungle Book ,but Walt Disney thought it and a few other songs were too dark for a kids movie , and removed those songs including replacing Thurl's with the version we know
YES HELLFIRE
It’s not a whole song but the ending of that’s what friends are for in The Jungle Book when Sheer Khan comes in with his big ole bass voice is one of my favorite Disney song moments
Ben McGill oh yeah I remember, he hits a nice C2
Killing time before this premiere:
Me: *how many differences are in the 4 Geoff pictures at the top*
😂
The one with the red background is smirking slightly
True I was looking at it for a good 2 minuets
The orange one is looking more to the right then green.
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Well, next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw;
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Золотые слова- все необходимое для жизни к тебе придет.❤🎉
Wh- this popped up in my recommended and I nearly fell off my chair when the song started- new sub!
I like how his voice is so low the sub titles don't even know what he's saying.
🤣
Lolll
😂😂 and Normally youtube captions are pretty accurate so this is double funny
Me irl I get so frustrated I don’t even talk
@@Marcell0Bass didnt expect u to be in this comment
Avi Kaplan is out there somewhere jamming along while harmonizing along to Geoff's video. 😊😂
Now THAT would be a dope collab.
Apt😊
So very true!
Tim Foust too.
@@marybell2897 Yes! Those three should collab as the Bass Bosses!!
Throw in Adam chance aswell, he isnt quite as low as the rest, but would still be cool.
Geoff instructing us about the Paw paw... absolutely adorable!
Me: what's your vocal range?
Geoff: YES!
*Yeos
This shouldn't be called a "Bass Singer Cover" but an "Awsome Singer With an Incredible Range Cover"!
I first heard this young man sing at my daughters house I was completely amazed didn’t want to move so I just set And stared and listened to such a voice that will touch your heart every time I hear him I stop and listen and he isn’t the only best He downright a very handsome young man I am blessed to get to hear and see him I
I found him through a vocal coach reaction video, and I'm just like 'yup, there's another hyperfixation'
What an amazing gift ... his voice and he's darn good looking too.
I told my daughter if she didn't add this to our driving playlist she was out of my will. Can't get enough.
Daughter: Who's Will? I'm telling dad.

Favorite Tenor: Michael Crawford.
Favorite Bass: do I even have to say that it's him? He's incredible.
Media: Endgame is the most ambitious crossover event in history
Geoff, Jeff, Goff, Joff and Jiff: we’re about to end this man’s whole career
Did you see the comment on geoff’s instagram post as well?
why do people keep saying "whole man's career" which makes no sense, when man's whole career is the correct one
Amaa .A no, what was it?

Talent
No matter what song you sing, brings smiles and great joy to my heart. ❤❤
I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but I would absolutely love to hear you do a cover of "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!"
yea right?
Voiceplay has a cover of it. He has his parts
YES!!!! MR GRINCH
I second this
They did
At 2:21 he didn't stop singing, he just hit a note too low for humans to hear.
Lmao!!
HAhaha Smart man.
That's Tim Storms, lol.
Sadly I don't think he can do that
@@HelplessTeno like this reply says though Tim storms can
Whatever song this man chooses to sing, he makes his own. And afterwards - nothing compares ....
Улыбалась все время, пока Джефф пел 😊😊😊 Он замечательный ❤❤❤
Geoff's Left Brain to His Right Brain: Alright we need background colors.
Right Brain: Red!
Left Brain: Great, just four more.
Right Brain: Orange!
Left Brain: Perfect, only three to go.
Right Brain: Green!
Left Brain: Great, two left.
Right Brain: Blue!
Left Brain: Amazing, what about the last one?
Right Brain: Blue!
Left Brain: We already have blue, how about like yellow, or purple!
Right Brain: Blue!
this is actually funny lol
Geoff: “I’m not a bass” Also Geoff: 2:18
thank you very much for doing this version, I have been playing this song my son since he was in his mummys belly and now ihe is 14 months old and loves this version, its the only song that stop him crying and brings a smile to his little face! i am also a Bass/baritone singer and he loves it when I sing along ( would love to do a collab!!) he also love your other songs!! thanks and keep up the good work!!!!
Holy cap, the vocal range is incredible!
*Inside Geoff’s mind*
Okay dude, don’t reach down when you hit that juicy low note
Alright I won’t
*Reaches down when hitting juicy low note*
I’m sorry
that's hilariousss
That'sit. I've melted. I'm just a puddle.
Hi puddle. I'm also a puddle
This is now 3rd one from Geoff in a row (just found him). Oh my...
In the intro he actually sounds like an organ. A big church organ. Amazing harmonies
He’s got such a pure voice
Can we all agree that he has the nicest voice? * - *
at least i think so :)
EVER!!!
That voice range terrifies me. I did not think someone could have a voice that deep but still hit notes that high without breaking a sweat
It took one random recommendation in my UA-cam homepage, and now I am totally addicted to this channel
Over a year later, and in 2021 the words of this song have more meaning to me than ever. A very belated thanks to Geoff for this song, it seriously makes me think about life on a different level.
Geoff:please be kind on the upper harmony
Also Geoff: sings like an angel in the upper harmony
We: love it
btw, when everyone's waiting for the low notes I'm waiting for the high notes cuz we don't get to hear him sing high often😍
When he does the high-end quartet it proves that he has a 6+ octave range. He's amazing!
I think it’s just under 6 octaves
Marcello Bass either way that’s actually ridiculous. The only singers I know of with comparable ranges are Yma Sumac and Mariah Carey.
Umm.. maybe 5 octaves. 5 and a half octaves is between A0 and E6, top soprano note of POTO Aria
His actual range there is just about 4 octaves between G1 and G5
William Charles Longwell 3 G1-C5 in this song
That is, without any doubt, the very best version of this song I've ever heard.
Incredible voice, awesome arrangements.
Thank you Geoff for bringing back some child memories.
3/1. PERFECTION. This is delightful to watch!
Still can't get over Geoff's voice... Doesn't matter how often I've heard it, that guy never fails to amaze me
2:35 the bear necessities OOOOOOF life
This is underrated, I had to wheeze😂😂
It’s nice to hear someone who has a deep sound as well
All of these guy are sounding great. Isn't it wonderful to find four or five guys that have such Great Voices?
There's only one guy. 😂
And all so handsome! Especially the one on the left. It's a shame they're all married (and to the same woman)!
@@silv-eee I think that the guy on the top right is the best out of the bunch, but I heard that he just got divorced and the other four and the wife are suing him for alimony. He did a "DNA" test on the kids and I guess he wasn't the father of any of the nine children.
@@Catbreath1000 Snort!!
Geoff...there are no word to explain the feelings when i am listening to your songs. You are amazing singer. You have the best, deep and soft, beautiful voice! I love it very much!!Thank you ❤
Those deep notes, though, how do you do it without killing your throat?! You really brought a smile to my face when I listened to it. Amazing work, Geoff! You sang the notes flawlessly.
Have a great day, everyone, stay safe, and indoors! ❤️
Big vocal cords. However pretty sure that G1 wasn't easy for him. That being said, the number of people who can hit that note is extremely less.
@@reubenmathew2902 I certainly can't lol. Some people are just an amazing mix of gifted and talented.
Ivy Slater he has a vid on how he does subharmonics I think
The same way strong people pick up heavy things
They grow long hair
Last note killed me... 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Geoff!!!!!! this is my FAVORITE Disney song. You Killed it sir. you alwayst do. I think my family is getting tired of Oggie Boogies song and Valhalla Calling. lol keep making music you alway make my day better. Thank you for sharing your insane talent with us. We are blessed to be able to hear you and all the members of Voiceplay! love you all!!!!!
When I’m feeling overwhelmed I watch this, and it puts a smile on my face.
I cannot explain how eager i am to watch this. I simply love his talent and wish i can possess even a little bit of that talent. Geoff is by far the best bass vocalist in my opinion. I wish i could meet him in person and just hug him and tell him he is super-talented and to keep giving us the mindblowing vocals.❤️
That's high praise. But, we all know who the best bass is. And it's ---
@@GeoffCastellucci woah!! Sweet Mother of God...a reply to my comment! That has never happened to me before.😳
@@GeoffCastellucci man now i really wanna know lmao.
@@GeoffCastellucci And the best bass singer is Subjective, but for me, it's you
I think he means Tim foust lol but y’all are both still so good
I’ve been listening to that song for 20 minutes and I don’t I’ll stop, this is really great ! It made my day actually ☺️thank you for bringing so much joy Geoff !
That middle bit where you're moving your head in sync when singing is so adorable, I can't stop replaying it
I like that you included the missing verse! It was always my favourite piece of Baloo wisdom. :)
I could see him playing Baloo for the remake of The Jungle Book, and not just for the songs
The Bass Necessities
This brings back a wonderful memory of when my aunt brought my sister and I to watch this when it was first released. I can hear her singing her heart to this, she had a beautiful voice, and the children around us singing with her. She was a great aunty to have as she has a heart of gold and was a sweet natured woman even now as she's about to hit her 90th birthday. A bit late with my thank you for this but I so enjoyed hearing your voice and this song again.
1:29 This is the type of video which i'll come back to watch again and again.....Amazing
hi geoff, i'm a 14 year old in iraq that's been over-bourdened by parent's "neccesities" of me getting new skills, me learning low-tone baritone from you has made me so much happier in life, just wanted to thank you :D
New skills are not necessary, BUT what i do recomend is to try different exercises if you like doing physical activity, like hand stands and such. All you need in a skill is to have fun with it. Don't let your parents decide what you like, my man. Cheers

My late mother danced with me to this song. She passed 7 days after my Birthday in 2021. I was so small back then. This filled my heart with joy! I miss my mom bad now around this Christmas season. I'd like to buy this song if I can?
