WOW! WOW! WOW! I sure wish I could have been there this year to see your fantastic performance and watch you win another gold! Ya'll never cease to entertain! There is always so much going on that it's hard to see it all in one viewing. I've already watched it 3 times and I will be viewing it several more times today to try to catch some of the Easter Eggs and listen more to the words. Love you all and hope I get to see you perform in person again. ❤❤❤Carolyn Brandenburg

If you're having trouble with some of the phrases: Cup of ambition: Coffee, the thing needed to give you the energy in the morning to go pursue your dreams 9 to 5: 9AM to 5PM is the typical American work day Mortician: Doctor specializing in dead people for autopsies or funeral preperation PHD: An academic credential, known as a "Doctorate". People with PHDs often refer to themselves as doctors even if their area of study is not even remotely medical. (In this case, music. Considering music careers are largely subjective and fame-based, a PHD in music is probably useless.) Lobsters screaming: Lobster is often prepared by being boiled alive. You'd scream too. Sous Chef: 2nd in command to the head chef Crustacean: Ten legged animals without a backbone, includes lobsters Composition: Writing sheet music for multiple parts in harmony. IE how we went from a country song to this. Judges: This performance was part of a chorus competition! They're being judged for their performance against other choral groups at the same event 95: A score of 95 out of 100 is usually in the ball park of the winning score of the event. Silver: This particular group came in second place the year before, and probably for several years before that Incidentally, this performance netted them a 95.6 and the gold medal Tag by David Rife: The Tag is a chord or series of chords that is held at length near the end of a song. It's important to get your harmony just right for this part, so sometimes extra people help with the writing or direction for this part. David Wright is the Associate Director of the group, which is based out of St Louis
Ambassadors of Harmony is a men's chorus. Their chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society also has a Mixed Youth Choir and a newly created Treble Choir.
Thank you for your answer. So you are saying that even if we only see men in this great performance, everybody is welcome and the barbershop community is willing to get more diversity, am I right ? If so, this is wonderful ! What female performances would you recommend listening to as well ?
@@maxencebrevard9406anything by GQ, The Ladies, the White Rosettes, Rich-Tone, Skyline... if you search for Sweet Adelines you'll find half the world of women's barbershop singing, the other half is slowly making its way into full unification with BHS, making it the generic barbershop society for all group makeups
2 Corinthians 5:18-21 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ.

Rhyming "damnation" with "crustacean" is literally the gold standard of rhymes.
They actually got a 95.6% score 😂
Ask and you shall receive! 😂
92.5 would have been funnier. 😆
@@bryankrejcarek2386but they needed more than 95 in their song
❤
98.6 for all the medical stars🤷♀️😂
"Once again, we're not counting PhDs in composition" shots fired lol
and they did, indeed, score a 95
At least Jim is getting good use of his regalia
Wow! And the second guy to wake up is lead of Gas House Gang. I think he was wearing a "tour" shirt of his championship year! Great Easter Egg!
Add'l Easter Egg, the framed picture of Dolly Parton on his night stand!
Indeed I recognized him at once. Such a GREAT quartet! I will never forget their performances in the UK.
dolly would be proud, i hope she saw this! i will post a link on her facebook page right after this!
I met one of the members of the groups' parents at the winery I work at. They insisted I check this out, and I'm glad I did! Really good job 👍
This is fantastically written, choreographed, costumed and executed!! Catch your breaths, guys!! BRAVO!!! 😂🎉❤
..thought that said 'fractionally written.. ..'. thankfully not so. And..if ONLY it would stream (want to hear the next few secs/mins
oh ..and SEE :P :)

Its time to tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street and traffic starts jumping
at folks like me
out on the job from 9 to 5
Working 9 to 5
What a way to make a living
Barely getting by
It's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind
and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
crazy if you let it
Stopped up toilets really are a bummer
How the heck did I become a plumber
I can't stand the smell of all this crud
Grab a tooth and then you yank it
Deliver a baby then you spank it
I can't stand the sight of all this blood
Working 9 to 5
Has put this man in bad condition
Sure he's still alive
Soon we'll need a mortician
Someone help this guy
Please call a doctor or physician
We need one for real
not a PHD musician
Work all day to write a sermon
Find a sinner get him squirmin'
Sometimes we need sanctuary too
The kitchen's hot, the pots are steaming
Diners gripe and lobster's screaming
Even worse our sous chef has the flu
Workin 9 to 5
Trying to avoid damnation
there's a better life
if you're not a tasty crustacean
It's a rich man's game
You need money and ambition
Once again we're not counting
PHDs in composition!
Farmers wake up with the sun
and work the fields till they are done
We toil and sweat until our fingers bleed
And these poor judges get up early to score us
Sit through every quartet and chorus
Take a break we'll tell you
what we need
Is more than 95!
How 'bout 96 or 7?
And a perfect score's sure to
get you into heaven
We're not trying to cheat
Or rob or steal or pilfer
We've got to say we're
tired of getting silver!

Phenomenal. The arrangement, the performance, all incredible. This is barbershop at its best.

One of the best parts about this song for me, has been seeing the song slowly grow from each show i've seen them sing it at!
That’s so cool!
One of these people is my pe coach 😂
WOW! This is absolutely fantastic, what a brilliant arrangement and they perform and sing it flawlessly.
Congrats on the well deserved gold medals! :D
