Every Tube Station - an arrangement of the Jay Foreman & Jon Gracey song, for choir and piano, by Paul Ayres - sheet music available here - www.paulayres....
First time I ever heard Jay play this song he introduced it by asking audience members how they’d got to the gig and then for those who said “tube” which station they’d come from. Then he was able to banter a bit about the 270 and how hard it’d be to name them all. He didn’t ask me though, which was just as well as I’d come after work from the nearest station to my office.... Bank.

You may also choose to sing "Heathrow Terminals Two and Three" instead of "One, Two, Three" as Heathrow Terminal 1 isn't a station anymore.
*doors closing* *does all the sounds of the lines speeding up* *slows down* This station is Ickenham. Change here for Piccadilly line and Metropolitan line. This is an all the lines train terminating at Bank. The next station is Hainault. Change there for the Central line. *sound of doors closing* Hornchurch. Ickenham. Hainault. Cockfosters. Ravenscourt Park.
I can't tell what adds to this so much - the sincerity and semi-formality of the performance, or the reactions of everyone at the back... Either way, I love it!
@@armedmaster2472 The London Underground network extends some distance (above ground) outside London (and used to extend a lot further). The only other underground railway in the UK is the Glasgow Subway, although both the Tyne and Wear Metro and Merseyrail have some stations underground. There was also the long-abandoned Clifton Rocks Railway in Bristol, which was an underground funicular railway.
If this is not part of a holographic video essay in 150 years about how London's public transport has changed, I will be sorely disappointed. I won't be alive to see that, but my ghost will be around.
1.25x also sounds pretty good. Fast and bouncy enough to get the snappiness of the original, still slow enough for the strengths of the choral arrangement to be retained.
Great suggestion! It's a lovely arrangement, and probably already difficult for the singers to sing at that speed, but at 1.5x the song really shines. Sounds like the arrangement cut it down to exactly two thirds of its original tempo, and dialing it back up puts it right at the tempo of Jay Foreman's original. Update: It doesn't sound half bad at 1.25 speed either. It keeps most of the snappiness of Foreman's original, while also retaining the more ethereal style of the choral arrangement.
“All rise for the anthem of the Tube.”
@Battersea Power Station what?
@Vaupaye 2 do you mean London underground (even if there is a London Overground)
"Rail salute, Present arms!"
@@jsut2654 Kensington (Olympia) has limited district line service
Old Kent 1 and 2 planned for Bakerloo: This is so old.
I like how they are so commited to saying every single letter in that song
I love a 2:18 they say "Arsenal" like a football chant
Well, it is the only Tube station named after a London football club

Absolute genius! Does the original Jay Foreman and Jon Gracey song proud, and some beautiful voices too.
But I’m sorry for the delay
Okay so I just wanted you know if no train come Stratford. Song London Underground
Yeah
@@tashko1225 what
The most entertaining thing is seeing the audience at the back trying not to laugh.

Jay Foreman needs to see this
He has
@@bleentrean5849 You Don’t Know
@@whitefluffyclock9882 apparently he was in the audience
I love the song! It’s better when it’s in 1.5 speed.
And even better than that again when at 1.25x.
I prefer 1.75x
Absolutely - loved it at 1.5
better on 1.25x
@@maface2247 Yeah, that's EXACTLY it 😀
This is THE most British song I've ever heard
Best 5 minutes and 29 seconds of my life. Jay needs to see this!
I can't tell what adds to this so much - the sincerity and semi-formality of the performance, or the reactions of everyone at the back... Either way, I love it!
Really great arrangement! The parts where it goes into a minor key make it super interesting which is great!
what an homage. Not on London but on Jay ^^ I absolutly love it
RUclips's alorithm is clearly broken. How come it showed this to me full FOUR years after the premiere?!
Exactly, especially as I've watched Jay's version several times!
Amazing how they sing it as a group where as doing it as a tour comedian singer it was very hard he had to change the notes and speed.
That descending line the chaps have between Upton Park and Stonebridge Park is a brilliant arrangement
My life is finally complete and i can die happy. Wow. Someone must tweet this at Jay so he can see this!
I'm happy to say that Jay was in the audience for this concert!
@@paulayres Nice!
@@paulayres it would be nice if u did a camo of jay foreman in this
True
@@paulayresI'd love to have seen his face!
love the suddenly plagal Temple
And the suddenly deadpan "ARSENAL."!
@@kala_asi And the "Airplane taking off" sound at the Heathrow stations.
Amazing how such a small island can have so many tube stations
that's just the tube stations in and on the outskirts of London, bet there are way more outside of London

All of the old guys in the back audience, ate this up!
wtf

3:58 "Road. Road. Road. Road. Road. Road. Road. Road."

Every bit as good as The Slow Train (Flanders - Swann)! No I musn't forget to say a big Thank You for this one!
Nothing else but genius!
Absolutely brilliant

how do you only have 5 likes

I love the the 2 groups singing:Caledonian Road etc where as the deeper voices sing :Road and then it switches I watch it over and over all the time❤
Should it not finish on Mornington Crescent?

@@greatbigbadger oh ok I get it I don't watch BBC that's why
@@nanamacapagal8342 It's BBC Radio 4, not television.
No because from the start they were in nib which puts them out of play for 3 turns, according to the new classical variation of the rules.
Wooow, that's amazing!!! I got goosebumps, while it's actually quite warm here... ;)
Excellent rendition and arrangement!
I always get goosebumps at Belsize Park 4:25
Absolutely awesome
270 likes from every single tube stations.
Woking is not a tube station or in London.
Wow amazing that "Stoneleigh park" got me
Brilliant.
Cool! 🤩 👍 ❤️
That was amazing
So cool!
This is amazing. I love this so much.
Everyone gangster until they get to *Harrow on the Hill*
This slightly slower version is great when you are trying to learn to sing this masterpiece!
Do 1.5x speed for original speed just like jay foreman’s original song
1.25x also sounds pretty good. Fast and bouncy enough to get the snappiness of the original, still slow enough for the strengths of the choral arrangement to be retained.
OMG THANK YOU
@@AlexaVRgirl I completely forgot about this comment i sent in 2020
Amazing!
why, where, when and how
Our 2021 cohort has so many people heading to UK. Should we perform this at our graduation dinner?
Which school?
Perhaps :D
Helps them get around ;-)

What? Too fast, 1.25x is just right...

Great Song!
What’s everyone’s favourite station
I sort of like them all 😀
Stratford is certainly an interesting one
@@kinkisharyocoasters wow that's where I'm going for my birthday
Sometimes I play this song and just point at the tube stations on my poster.
I really like it
Wow
At the end of the song they 👏🏻

Ok this is great

Who's the choir? It's brilliant!
the choir is "Voxcetera" conducted by Jane Hopkins
ARSENAL
😁Ahah, Gorgeous!
The anthem of delays.
It could do with being a bit faster! Good fun though :)
Has Jay seen this?
In person, according to a comment further upthread.
They said “Arsenal” loudly because most of them are fans of Arsenal FC.
4:21
🏆
And somewhere the King's Singers are kicking themselves that they didn't get there first.....😉
This is gold. It has way to little views tho.
one of those people is 100% my teacher...
Who?
The Radio 4 version stops at the ninth station... 😉
Unfortunately, Cockfosters to Ravenscourt Park places you in Nidd and therefore you can't complete the game in the next two moves

I like when it says Tottenam hale😂

One thing I have learned from this video is to never ask the ladies of a choral society for fashion advice.
Why the f***k does this remix exist
Why the f***k shouldn't this remix exist?
@@davidguthary8147 true
Fantastic way to recycle London's churches and their choirs now that there is nobody left who believes the virgin birth and resurrection myth.
Its good but... its an Rip-off (I acctualy like this one because it feels like the 1980's) *and I am a liker not an hater*
rip-off = arrangement = cover version = homage = tribute = interpretation (see also: tomato = tomato, and potato = potato)
