You can really see the thought and hard work that has gone into not only rehearsal and personal vocal practice but also the whole piece from lyrics to music!
Fantastic performance guys. Excellent writing and done well. I don’t know how anyone familiar with Star Trek could NOT like this. Great barbershop harmony, and a great original Star Trek series tribute.
I love original Barbershop music. It is pure genius. It requires such a firm understanding of chord structure and vocal arrangements that it defies comprehension to all but a few composers. Good work.
I think I just broke myself jumping up and down watching this... I love this kind of music and even more so love Star Trek, where can I see more of this ??? *giggle* I would even come in uniform (even if I do hate the original's short skirts for the women..eek) to cheer you on.
Hah, watched them out of order, so i didn't get the "potty" joke. Now it makes sense! Great song, great quartet! We need more geeks! I wish there were more geek girls in my SA chorus... :(
I'm sorry, but how in the HELL can someone give this ONE thumbs down, let alone FIVE?!?!!? Was it the New Tradition ('85 Champ QT) and their coach?!?! Come on!
"Captain... I still fail to see the hu-" Great part... Absolutely love these little twists to such songs.
"Dammit Jim I'm a doctor! Not a baritone!"
Not only are you guys astoundingly amazing singers!! You pulled off an awesome good quartet!!! and a Star Trek themed one at that haha!!! Keep it up!
This is just fantastic! (lifting hand in Vulcan salute) MAY YOU LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!
You can really see the thought and hard work that has gone into not only rehearsal and personal vocal practice but also the whole piece from lyrics to music!
I'm now an instant fan - I will never get sick of this song!
Fantastic performance guys. Excellent writing and done well. I don’t know how anyone familiar with Star Trek could NOT like this.
Great barbershop harmony, and a great original Star Trek series tribute.
Just plain wonderful!
Yes, we are very active, performing and competing wherever we can. Mostly, we just just love entertaing the fans!
Dang, Scotty goes HIGH. Awesome job to those men.
I'll second that! These guys are simply among the best quartets in the Society!
Wow! I miss barbershop so much! Very well done, guys! Good to see that I am not the only geek who sings barbershop!
I am absolutely in love with this.
A quartet called Hi-Fidelity, I am the bass (Spock). We were the National Harmony Sweepstakes winner a couple of years ago.
This was delightful AND red-shirt guy made it out unscathed!
I watch this at least 2-3 times a year and I would kill to perform it.
Without a doubt, one of the best barbershop quartets to grace the earth, and in fact, the Federation ;)
You guys are AMAZING - This is WORLD CLASS STUFF!
Nice Job!
The phrase was completely in context with the original show. Bones frequently said "Dammit Jim, I'm a Dr. not a ....whatever" hence no problem.
Spectacular Harmony!
You guys are amazing!! I love it!
I love this! It is both musically good, and and incredibly amusing. Very clever. Five stars.
This is adorable!
"Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor not a Baritone!"
Ha, that makes the act. (:
Trekno, thanks for posting about this on Excal. Brillian!
That was quite possibly the best thing I have ever seen on youtube!!! Seriously, just amazing!!!
That...was...great. :D As a trekkie, I can say that I am happy. :)
I think that these guys are fantastic, unique and inventive! They also harmonize extremely well. I love it.
LOL, this was awesome! It combines two of my most favorite things of late - a cappella singing and Star Trek :) Well done, guys!
I love barbershop--and I love Star Trek! You guys are awesome!!!
I love original Barbershop music. It is pure genius. It requires such a firm understanding of chord structure and vocal arrangements that it defies comprehension to all but a few composers. Good work.
Well i'll be! That was some of the best stuff I ever heard! Good singing, awesome theme, and of course, comedy!
The food on the Enterprise must be exquisite!!
Really cool. Great singers performers. Stunning rhythm.
Made me laugh.
that was beautiful!
Holy god. This is pretty much the greatest thing I've ever seen. :D :D :D
HAHAHAHAHA! Oh man! my first time and i'm addicted!
Damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a baritone! haha.
they're very good :)
Great job. Amazing overtone at the end! I can't wait for your new album.
Loved it--so creative. Irony of anachronism--the past of Barbershop and the future of the Federation
Great lyrics, great shtick, and phenomenal singing.
I have never heard a *glissando* ring before! That is just astounding.
LOL I love it, by the way I was also a quartet singer 6 years a go during my school days :D
That was brilliant!
@LissaLovesMusic Thank you for the comment! We appreciate it!
most fascinating. Live long and prosper, and you guys need to get a TV spot! Tweet this to Colbert, or I might!!
This is made of more win than I can possibly begin to explain. Very well timed, guys! Everything was both hilarious and audibly pleasing! :D
Bravo! Very amusing and entertaining!
THAT ROCKS
and for the record "don't bring sulu" is about not bringing the ONE who keeps the ship in orbit LOL
Great Fun, Great singing!
Ok thank you! I was sure it wasn't that haha but I wanted to make sure.
You guys sound wicked good!
I loved it!!!!
If nobody's shared this yet with Takei, someone ought to...
omg that was amazing!!!
shut up Wesley! lol sry, thats my favorite line from any star trek
Instant love.
Get back into it! There is an amazing chorus based in Phoenix!
Logically speaking, you are very entertaining.
Love it!
It's nice to see some Barber Shop mixed with imagination.
I jizzed my pants on the last chord :P
I think I just broke myself jumping up and down watching this...

@Yodycoyote Yes we are still signing. Besides Star Trek we also do shows as Elvis, the Addam's Family and of course, just ourselves
Love it
@captaindan1000 We are Hi-Fidelity Quartet! Come see us sometime
surprised the guy in red made it to the end of the video LOL
whoa whoa hold on the guy in the red shirt is still alive all the way till the end
Roger Payne, Chuck Hunter, Martin Fredstrom, Craig Ewing
@lloydino We dont sell the music, but if you want to "lift" it from the video, go for it.
Congratulation. A whole other level of nerdom.
@iPyromantic Glad you like us!
i was wondering if i could get the sheet music to teach my students
Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a baritone!
Geekery for the WIN!
Clever. What you can't do with barber shop!
@iundonei Ummm....no. The lyric is "Don't bring Sulu, Chekov instead" As in Ensign Pavel Chekov.
@LissaLovesMusic Thank you very much for the nice comment!
Married, each one. With kids.
snap, nuff said
Welcome to the internet, where many jokes happen
@greatsayain They're riffing on an old standard called "Don't Bring Lulu".
@TWBee Thanks for the nice comment!
Who are you guys? That was excellent!
I'm sorry, but how in the HELL can someone give this ONE thumbs down, let alone FIVE?!?!!?
Was it the New Tradition ('85 Champ QT) and their coach?!?! Come on!
You guys are great...Have you heard of Dragon*Con The filk group would love you guys.
would you mind if i used this song in a talent show for my school
Holy shit, that's cute.
hey mrfredstr..
great song lovin it.
Where could i buy the music for this??
@mfredstr "Damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a Physicist"
this is what would happen if the next Star Trek series was done by the creators of Scrubs
it's ok, lol. I can see how that fits.
Actually this is the first song in their skit
I just started ringing out here in southern california. Where are you guys?
@lloydino its on itunes
play nice with Sulu he is cool... also Uhura
Why all the hate for Sulu? Love the song though, great sound and very humorous.
