    I have loved this song since Huey Lewis and the News sang it back in the 80s. Home Free just made it sound awesome. The humor is a trademark of a lot of Home Free covers. I believe they were gently spoofing “Anchorman”. So funny. Interestingly, Adam Rupp didn’t learn to Beatbox until he and his brother Chris formed Home Free. Adam even learned to play the drums so he could have a very realistic drum sound. Adam studied music in college but it was trumpet performance, I believe. Musical family. Love your reactions.

    I'm sorry but Adam's Rupp's non-harmonica "harmonica" is a wow!

    The HF guys have fabulous senses of humor which are clearly displayed here. They never take themselves too seriously. 😆 And Adam Rupp's vocal percussion & phantom harmonica are musical genius I have a difficult time getting my brain to compute... My family still argues that Home Free must use actual instruments--their harmonies are so incredibly unbelievable❣️

    This is a cover of a Huey Lewis and the News song from 1982 with an Anchorman theme. Huey Lewis played harmonica in some of his songs.

    The "teasers" about the hurricane when there is only a breeze cracks me up. The thing about the go kart was not planned. I'm not sure about the bball game, but in a behind the scenes vid the commented on how the go kart interrupted the vid so Tim took off after him & they decided to include it.
    I loved how Austin did "church mode" in part of his solo.

  • @chrismorin1318
    @chrismorin1318 3 роки тому +22

    I can respect your rating system. Personally, I'm a fan of the fact that they didn't put in the extreme highs from Austin or the sonic bass drop from Tim because it doesn't fit the song. It's the old "Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD" kind of thing. I've had this conversation about another artist and a few people got totally butthurt about it! Kind of like when a song is over played on the radio, when the groups overuse their extremes, it loses its magic. But, again, that's just my opinion! Great reaction! Looking forward to more! ❤

    • @Ingrid_Haendel
      @Ingrid_Haendel 3 роки тому +4

      I'm completely with you there! I mean - I love the wow-factors from time to time but doing it in every single song even if it doesn't fit the song at all (like one artist I can think of) gets me kind of annoyed. Nearly to the point now that I don't really want to listen to this other group anymore!

  • @angelamason9840
    @angelamason9840 3 роки тому +28

    Some of my favorite HF original songs: Dive Bar Saints, Land of the Free, Snow Globe, I’ve Seen and Full of Cheer. Watch Snow Globe after Mayday. Whatever Adam Rupp does will usually be my favorite part of any song. Freak of Nature Rupp’s vocals are always 🔥🔥. Loved his solo in this! Thank you gentlemen! A Home Fry tip: Remember Adam, you have 40% of Home Free names covered!

    Great job remembering their names. None of the guy's with equipment were plugged in. They also brought out a new cover today it's called Undivided. Actually during the harmonica part Austin went really high. Adam the beatboxer actually didn't start beatboxing until he was in college, he played the trumpet. Truly enjoyed watching your reactions, thank you.

  • @floprather4262
    @floprather4262 3 роки тому +3

    These jokesters know how to have fun even when working for a living. Chance's lead is great, he even had a bass note drop while Adam was doing his thing with the harmonica sound. Adam really out doing himself (he's not only human, he's an instrument). Austin wailing, Rob dancing, Tim's bass were great background harmonies, they just happened to see the guys playing basketball & asked if they could film them playing. Tim hot on the heels of a high speed pursuit was not planned but it made for you good news. One of their funniest videos in a long while. It's a cover song. React to a live show of Home Free song Little Red Riding Hood (search on utube). It will entice you to really want to get tickets for a live concert. Great reaction.

    To really get the full appreciation of Mayday you should listen to the Peter Hollens version of Misty Mountains featuring Tim Foust first to get the full effect of Tim's bass. He will then shock you with his range in Mayday, which they recorded in the same key as the original female singer, Cam.

The basketball players and the go cart kid happen to be in the park that day and they made a News story of them. How funny would that be to have people go hey you want to be in a video lol

    Tim Foust is from southeastern Texas, Austin Brown is from southern Georgia and Adam Chance is from Alabama - they sound country because they are from the southern U.S. In an interview Tim said that Austin is "as country as corn bread" and that when he first joined Home Free, he'd say something and the others would look at Tim to translate. Adam Rupp & Rob Lundquist are both from Minnesota.
