Amazing! I just hope the school I end up going to has a choir as good as you guys! I would love to see you guys do "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Keep on posting!
This is my favorite song of all time, but only when performed by OtR. This version isn't quite as tight as the very first group's version, but these guys are amazing. They've had good and bad years, but recently (as shown by them being in the Sing Off, etc), they've been amazing. EUGENE, OREGON, REPRESENT! Hometown boys making their city proud!
does anyone have a downloadable mp3 of this song?...or like who sang this one originally?!??... just looove their for the longest time rendition and that too is elusive...thanksies
I am a big fan of the original song, and I would agree with those saying that this is probably the best a cappella arrangement/performance I've seen on UA-cam. Soulful, not too rushed, and very well sung. I dunno what it is about a cappella vocal groups, but an inordinate number of them seem to rob music of all it soul, and it just sounds...friggin' weird. This is not one of those groups.
is there anyway to get music for this song? because we really ant to start an accapella group at my school and would love to learn this song....does anyone know to learn this song...like through sheet music or what?
SNC is still amazing. Both of the groups have their points. On the Rocks is pretty sweet, but SNC has the advantage of getting cd's out to the public. SNC is more well known than OTR. OTR is still really good, though.
Straight no chaser "above" this kind of comedy? I've seen them live and they are hilarious. They may be more subtle, but there is a lot there if you are paying attention closely to everyone in the group. This is excellent sound quality coming off of a live, unprofessional recording though. It really helps show how good the group really is
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL: Nothing personal, you guys, but if you have a relatively obvious question, please skim through the comments for the video!!!! Usually if you go back page by page, you will see your question answered at least once in the first few pages. Now, because I'm just that nice: This song was originally by Billy Pilgrim. (Unfortunately it is almost impossible to find by him.) : ) TGF
WAIT! The guy on the right (from our point of view), in the blue t-shirt... Isn't that Jake? Tha beatboxer they've got? Because if it is, man he's lost some weight!
quality could of course be better, but I do really like them singing this. Try checking out my channel for a studio recording of INSOMNIAC by my group. =) keep it up On The Rocks
I think they are really good. Kind of like the JV Straight no chaser. They are good but the soloist needs to work on a little bit more voice control, sometimes its just screamy. Very good though overall
The backgrounds are great, but the soloists just don't cut it. Way too AJ McClean for this song. The Harmony part is flat in some parts too. I am with Luckey312
great rendition n blend, considering open air sucks the life out of acappella..although the guy in the back with the thong sandals and white shirt with stripes is distracting; he is distractingly yummy
For anyone who wants to know the original song it is called, Insomniac by Billy Pilgrim. It's not a very well known song.
I am pretty sure that these guys are incredible. I sang in a concert with these guys once...it was a once in a lifetime experience.
The OTR era with Moses Barrett and that guy in the pink shirt was the best.
Nice balance between soloist & choir. FUN version.
i am addicted to on the rocks!
Absolutely incredible! This is the BEST A cappella I have ever heard. Definitely my favorite :)
Simply the best version on youtube. Better than SNC's version.
I love this song...........been in my head all night. The humor and friendship between you guys is what makes me keep watching.
those guys are worth being known man....
Fantastic! Buying the ITunes right now, sendin love from a Alabama country girl!
shades guy with the facial hair, hott!! You guys sound great!
i like their work it's better than flash mob
it is needed they come in france
quite amazing wish there were guys at my school i could do that with

I've still got the original recording of this song done by the group 10 years ago.

On the rocks is amazing. Gah, I wish I didn't have marching band during their concerts.
Amazing! I just hope the school I end up going to has a choir as good as you guys! I would love to see you guys do "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Keep on posting!

no one does this better than straight no chaser.
@Areagolasundomiel yes they are wearing their T shirts
is there anyway to get music for this song? because we really ant to start an accapella group at my school and would love to learn this song....does anyone know to learn this song...like through sheet music or what?
cool sunglasses
@Nickof13
you`re right. same group :)
@Brenda4Rock True:)
I want a t shirt. are they wearing OTR Tshirts? cuz i want one. :D
The guy in the white and blue striped shirt in 1:17 looks like Daniel Tosh. xD
@citenks yeah, I know... I was talking to the guy who said straight no chaser's version is better
SNC is still amazing. Both of the groups have their points. On the Rocks is pretty sweet, but SNC has the advantage of getting cd's out to the public. SNC is more well known than OTR. OTR is still really good, though.
why? they dont have the original version on the market?
@yogadb2001 ...pretty sure this IS On The Rocks
hey guys anyone knows who's the original singer of insomniac? tnx
wat happened to the video of brown eyed girl??
nice...
But the random guy in the background just walking around was hilarious

@Nickof13 What?Do you mean that's not On the Rocks?
do they study music because they`re soo musical?!
@yogadb2001 umm duh - who do you think this is?
@SpringStNatural The SoCal VoCals version wasn't the 'worst' I heard, but not the 'best' either. This version was IN TUNE ........unlike Socal VoCal.
@yogadb2001 Um...The University of Oregon IS On The Rocks...
@superhumungo Straight No Chaser
do they study music because they`re so musical?!
I just started clapping at my computer in the middle of the night.
You guys should hear straight no chaser sing this song.
@spit0089 Andy Mosman
funny,
Thats Jonah Seitz....
WAIT! The guy on the right (from our point of view), in the blue t-shirt... Isn't that Jake? Tha beatboxer they've got? Because if it is, man he's lost some weight!
nice t-shirts xdd
@yogadb2001 than what
@MagicByAndrew straight no chaser is better papi. they just have more people.
I wanna see them Live... ;/ But noooooo. My town's smaaaallll.
Straight no chaser's version still sounds better.
quality could of course be better, but I do really like them singing this. Try checking out my channel for a studio recording of INSOMNIAC by my group. =) keep it up On The Rocks
7 people must have insomnia :)
I think they are really good. Kind of like the JV Straight no chaser. They are good but the soloist needs to work on a little bit more voice control, sometimes its just screamy. Very good though overall
