BYU Vocal Point, doing "Thriller"
And, as a bonus, and probably even more amazing, the U.C. Men's Octet, doing Bohemian Rhapsody:
Enjoy!

Good stuff! Listened at church instead of doing my work. I did some Sat. so it's all good.
You can purchase College A Capella group music on ITunes. I found it while looking for different covers of Oasis' Wonderwall.
I found one by this girls college that was incredible. (They actually covered Ryan Adams' cover of Oasis). Still - I like them so much I bought the whole album. The music is mostly recent Top 40, although you find the odd "classic" in there.
The music is pretty produced (almost excessively so), but it still sounds good.
Oh!!! Thank you for the Bohemian - that made my morning!!!!
NOW...if you want to see to GOLD standard of accapella music, with a vocal percussion solo to make your jaw drop

Their albums are on iTunes, and their Christmas ones are particularly awesome...
Note- it isn't their best song on that video -but it's the one that best highlights Jeff...
That's not the same Rockapella that was on Carmen Sandiego. They have switched members around.
Still sounds pretty much the same, though. That's always a pretty fun song . . .
Yup. Barry Carl retired and Elliot Kerman quit.
But I love the richness the new baritone and bass add.
My non-instrumental Church of Christ background is showing. A capella music with strong vocal harmony makes my DNA sing.
Nerds in ties doing kick-butt music. I like the Mormons, but I think even Freddie Mercury would've liked the U.C. guys.
thanks for posting this!!
