BEHIND THE MUSIC: As you can tell, one or more of us in The Newfangled Four are HUGE Ylvis fans (I'll give you a hint, it's me). If you aren't familiar, Ylvis is the comedy/music duo(trio?) from Norway that made the world famous "What Does the Fox Say" song in 2013, now with over a billion views on UA-cam. They have a lot of other songs too which are very very funny, including one about Stonehenge. A few years ago, fellow Ylvis enthusiast, Anthony Bartholomew sneakily shared this arrangement with me (but not for Newfangled Four, I think he was just bragging), and all I could do was appreciate it from afar and laugh alone in my room during pandemic quarantine probably, and wishing I would be allowed to sing it one day. Fast forward to 2023, we are looking for 4 new songs to sing at the international contest in July, and we have this amazing idea for a parody of a different song and immediately reach out to Anthony B. to arrange it for us. He tells us, "NO GOD NO PLEASE NO ANYTHING BUT THAT SONG FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT SING THAT SONG," because his quartet is going to do that song. So I said, fine, but give us Stonehenge, and then that's how we got to sing Anthony Bartholomew's arrangement of Stonehenge. He did do a teeny tiny bit of re-voicing and updating, and eventually we landed on a version with 8% more barbershop 7th chords. We also had no idea how this would do and were completely prepared for it to fall flat and for no one to get it, and amazingly it was our highest scoring contest song ever.
Suggestion for next year: continue the Ylvis series with "A Capella" - I think this would also make a great barbershop contest song. Or is that the song you asked Anthony Bartholomew to do originally, where he said "please not this one"? 😀
Fun fact, this was by far their best scoring song of the competition, with a total of 92.9 points. Their music and performance scores (95.4 and 94.4 respectively!!) were especially fantastic! I'm so excited to see them compete next year.
@@BrunnyBeatboxYeah, I think so. It's funny how they made a gag about being "4 years past their peak" but yet this is their best year yet with two songs scoring well over 90 points
The improvement from Joey and Jackson is staggering! Jake's level is still high as ever and Marcus has blended in really nicely. Genuinely have a shot at a medal next year
Still can't believe they haven't medaled yet for the level of quality and originality they've brought over the years, but yes it's just a matter of time❤❤
I don't know. They seem to be stuck in sixth place and the gap between them and fifth is as big as the gap between fifth and first on the scores. The Judges just do not reward the things that make them stand out and excel.
@@TwoToneShoes Respectfully disagree. The makeups of each of those Top 5s was completely different, plus taking into account the new lineup. With Marcus breaking in and Joey's improvement especially there are places to go. Despite how good Stonehenge was I'd say this was their weakest selection of 6 songs on the entertainment front. The right pick of songs (like 2019) with this technical skill could see a Rooftop Records-esque leap in rankings. Granted, yes if GQ are back then it adds to the pot, but they and Squeezy are top, I could easily see NF4 leapfrog Throwback and go toe to toe with First Take and Three and a Half Men. I think the next 5 years could be far less predictable for winners with the current progression curve
@@joshwmiltonman What do you mean by song choice? Is this another "just throw in some judge pleasing songs!" thing? Because it's stupid that they have to give up what makes them great because the judges can't give a proper performance score to save their lives.
Ever notice how these guys are the only quartet in the competition that move the audience to spontaneously erupt before they're even done with their final note?
The sweetest moment by far is 5:10, At the end, where they all look so proud. Jake is sort of still in the performance but his smile right before they break character is so heartwarming
oh my god I saw the title was Stonehenge and I was like, 'the only Stonehenge song I know is the Ylvis one but there's no way they're doing that, it's way too obscure' AND YET so yeah NF4 is my life now I love them so much for this
Probably biased opinion here, but I actually thought this was the song of the contest. Spider Farm was clever and hilarious, well executed, perfect score etc. But it was still quite derivative, whereas this one injected something new and very different.
@@Lozza1991I wouldn't necessarily say it was derivative, since so much of the humor wasn't through repeating the old jokes but through them getting the old jokes wrong. But yeah, they(/KJ) executed the comedy perfectly but didn't stretch themselves musically.
That lead solo in the tag is not in the original, that means Anthony Bartholomew came up with this iconic bit also that slide feels like the biggest whole step of all time
The Newfangled Four has come so far in terms of vocals. Most notably, their tags have gotten a LOT tighter. The way Jackson's voice locks at that post is unlike anything I've ever heard from him before. I mean, he's not even harmonizing at that time, it just locks... by itself! Perfectly holding that note so smoothly is incredible.
This was the best performance of the whole competition hands down. The tuning, the barbershop elements, the performance… everything was just perfection. P.S. 3:47 this is the exact book that was used in Ylvis’s original music video of Stonehenge
Fucking hell the jokes are incredibly well delivered this is genuinely funny. Also Jackson is an underrated lead. Epic performance. Will be remembered.
I cannot believe they covered a Ylvis song for the 2023 Barbershop Quartet Finals. Absolutely insane (btw that's the What Does The Fox Say? guy lololol)
Thanks so much for that! It's amazing that the song is SO ridiculous that they didn't have to do a parody! Love the inclusion of the books and props from the video!
OH MY GOD I put off listening to this one - it was the last of this year's competition, and I thought it could be a serious one (like 'Cottage for Sale'), so I needed to be in the right mood. I was not expecting this. This is hands down one of the funniest, most fascinating, can't-look-away performances they've ever done - and also some of the best singing! That final note from Jackson is the clearest, most pure sound I've ever heard from him - it just blew me away. And of course everyone's already talking about the final chord and Joey's fantastic high note. Not to take away from their own writing or anything - but this is seriously the closest thing they've done to absolute, holistic perfection.
@@hanszauner1572 Yeah, I've listened to the original, now, and holy crap. But I actually genuinely prefer this one! They really upped the comedy value. I've watched it three times now and every time I watch I'm laughing out loud at the very end (partly from astonishment at their amazing finish!)
The last chord is getting plenty of hype, and rightfully so, but can we give some love to that penultimate chord at 4:49? Especially with that cheeky note bend at 4:55, which I'm only hearing now on listen #47.
every time i watch this back, that last slide from jackson gives me chills. even though they didn't come home with any medals, nff should be proud of this season's run. easily the best I've ever heard them sound.
Such a great song choice and perfect execution! I really hope Ylvis sees this one day! Jackson goes absolutely crazy this whole song, and the overtone of that tag 😲
I’ve heard this multiple times, loved it every time, and I’ve been a fan of these guys for ages. But I really needed to hear it today, so my thanks to TNF4 (and Bartholomew of course) for being my small corner of Serotonin. You guys are absolutely killing it- can’t wait to see what you do next.
SO glad this is now posted for all to see. I predict this is going to be yet another big YT hit for NF4. So clever and the song (had to look up the original), lends itself so great to belting out that awesome P5 (stone-henge). Hard to forget.
I thought it was too close a copy of the original to be stylistically acceptable for the contest. But I just listened to it again with headphones on, and they are actually doing a lot of subtle, quick chord changes with inner voices I hadn't heard initially, and they fit the style needs. They just balanced things well enough that it keeps the rock/gospel feel of the original on the surface while filling the underlayers with barbershop color. It's really impressive arranging.
@@avbartholomewSeriously, hats off, my dude! I haven't heard your entire oeuvre, but this is one of the best genre-shifting a capella arrangements I've heard, barbershop or otherwise, and I've heard plenty. I can't _imagine_ the learning curve on this bari part.
I found The Newfangled Four in high school after a good buddy of mine sent me one of their performances. That was in 2018, and I have been hooked on barbershop since. It is undeniable the impact these fellas have had on this wonderful hobby. They've brought so many young singers in from their online performances and many youth camps they have participated in. I was absolutely heartbroken to hear that they were planning on disbanding. I'm so pumped that they are back and performing vocally better than they have before. This performance is peak comedy.
I've enjoyed all of the NF4 videos I have seen, but the ones I have seen from this year definitely outclass the past; much more skill and maturity - definitely medal contenders now.
Lol was wondering how they were gonna keep this, well, able to be sung in a barbershop competition with their content rules, but y'all that was so in the style of the song still that I barely noticed just because I was waiting for it! Well done!! Ylvis would be proud ^_^
I think this is my favorite barbershop performance of all time. The serious intensity of the performance for a joke song is so amazing. These harmonies are so frickin tight! I smile just thinking of this performance ... and then the tags ... uh, yes please! You can really tell how tight they are when Joey is on his knees and standing up, he has a note or two that is not perfect, but still good, and that is the only time in the WHOLE STINKING SONG I don't hear them just locked.
I love this one. 🥰 Sometimes their self-deprecating humor distracts me by making me feel bad for them. I really love that this one stays seriously musical the whole way through. I've come to realize that my personal favorite music is very silly topics treated seriously. 😂
Watched this about 20 times in the last week. Just such a catchy video, I wish I had enough knowledge of barbershop to articulate just what gets me about it musically.
Year after year, I see The New Fangled Four pop up on youtube, and i greedily watch all of their performances. I've tried to watch others, including the one's that score higher than them, and they just can't hold my attention through a song.
Argh...I can hear this over and over and the Tag always gives me the chills....wow, just awesome boys !! Keep on doing this great work of art you are doing and loving !
This is one of my favorite silly songs. This is my favorite silly singing group. This is a very very happy boy to get to listen to this on repeat for the next few years.
Is there 10-hour version of this because I'm getting behind on work moving the timer thingy back to the beginning all day to listen to this over and over.
Amazing!!!! This is great work! The build up...That mindblowing overtone and at the end the intensity of their faces. I love these guys! This song is theirs and the best yet. ❤

EW!
GROSS!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
You could say that this is Jaxississippi Nacho Bell Grande's Roman Empire
Joey Buss does it again, the overtone on that last chord is SCREAMING.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HEARING IT! honestly what an incredible chord at the end
Literally half the views is just me replaying the tag to hear them super sweet overtones 🥵
Fr it’s the loudest I think I’ve ever heard!
@@giannismusic2694You should check out The Vagrant’s rendition of Chordbusters March where he sings tenor as well. Joey is actually incredible.
Ever notice how these guys are the only quartet in the competition that move the audience to spontaneously erupt before they're even done with their final note?
Besides Midtown, yeah basically. These guys brought so many people to Barbershop over the past 6-7 or so years. They're the fan favorite
They’re also the only videos with over 50k views. Most have less than 10k including the “winners”
I'm def one of them. and this performance was stellar. The last note was chills!
@@adambeard4427besides main Street!

so yeah NF4 is my life now I love them so much for this
Oh my god, same
That was my reaction. "Wait, *that* Stonehenge song???"
To be fair I was like.... "a barbershop quartet is going to do a Spinal Tap song? ok....."
that's a lead ladies and gentleman
I have fallen down the Newfangled rabbit hole hundreds of times before and dang it, we're doing it again!
Also the Ylvis rabbit hole. Both very alluring. 😅
lol same! I love a good NF4 holé de rābbĩt 😂
The collective, “What’s in the box!” Is so great.
Ok but Jackson going off on those vocals during that whole ending is giving me LIFE! ❤
If it wasn’t for Spider farm, this would definitely be the song of the contest😂. Been so excited to watch this again
Probably biased opinion here, but I actually thought this was the song of the contest. Spider Farm was clever and hilarious, well executed, perfect score etc. But it was still quite derivative, whereas this one injected something new and very different.

@@Lozza1991to be fair, if we’re talking about originality, this is a cover
This is definitely better imo. Spider Farm wasn’t bad or anything but this is far more original and is way funnier personally.
I know I've been watching NF4 enough when I recognize the humor of a Bartholomew arrangement. 😅
That lead solo in the tag is not in the original, that means Anthony Bartholomew came up with this iconic bit
also that slide feels like the biggest whole step of all time

P.S. 3:47 this is the exact book that was used in Ylvis’s original music video of Stonehenge
A lot of us had no idea of that at the time, but the box is so iconic for them, so whatever it was would've gotten the same reaction.
do you mean the same publication, or the same exact copy?
@@AgainstMyBetterJudgement I assume not the one that was held by Ylvis if that's what you're asking XD

THAT FREAKING OVERTONE!!!! UGHHH❤
Fuckin' beautiful❤😢😅
Ah finally a version of Stonehenge I can share to my friends & family. Thanks NF4!
Im glad someone found joy in the “kisses my face” line.
My first introduction was actually this one so I was taken aback when Ylvis didn’t say “then she kisses my face” in the original
While it’s hilarious this is also seriously beautiful musically
I've listened to this at least ten times already. It keeps getting better and better.
3:13 Glad they added the part where it was moved from Wales to England, always been one of the fascinating parts of Stonehenge for me.
ONE OF THE BEST NF4 PERFORMANCES OF ALL TIME EVER THAT ENDING WAS ACTUALLY FRIKCIN INSANNNNNNEEEE
That overtone at the end is absolutely nuts
I know this is a silly song but every time I've hear this song I literally get chills. Along with laughter.
Jackson’s post in this was probably the best in the entire contest because my GOD
Such a great song choice and perfect execution! I really hope Ylvis sees this one day! Jackson goes absolutely crazy this whole song, and the overtone of that tag 😲
I've lost count of the number of times I've come back to this video. It just makes me happy.
I stopped counting since a few days ago 😂
That tag has got to be the most impressive one they've ever done. No matter how many times I watch it the ending just floors me.
That lead-tenor duet at 3:09 omg I want to sing it
Never in a million years would I have ever thought that Stonehenge by Ylvis would be covered by Newfangled. It's like my two worlds are colliding
I’ve heard this multiple times, loved it every time, and I’ve been a fan of these guys for ages. But I really needed to hear it today, so my thanks to TNF4 (and Bartholomew of course) for being my small corner of Serotonin. You guys are absolutely killing it- can’t wait to see what you do next.

Freaking amazing. Better than the original!! ❤
Is anyone going to comment about Joey just managing not to trip over Jackson at 4:06? Great save
everyone talking about the amazing singing but can we just tale a second to see their faces at the final pose. i feel that.
BHS judges denying NF4 a medal simply so they have to keep coming back. It's a selfish but understandable motive.
Idk didn't platinum get silver 3 years in a row or something? At least give em A medal
