Honestly, I am more envious of the G#1s and even the C2s in there. C2 is the lowest chest note I have ever hit, but that's an incredible rare occurrence. I suppose I should stop comparing myself to such incredible basses such as Geoff.
@@anonymousaccordionist3326 just be patient everybody's voice is different I can't quite reach the low range he can but I am still learning and practicing so no big deal just give it time :) I tend to use Geoff as my reference to gage my progress it's fun cause he does have a pretty high range as well
@@annebeaudry6875 Which _would_ rather mess up the story line, but: worth it. But really, since we are in that movie: shirt, hair, general face --> Beast, after being de-enchanted? Bringing us to: looks like a Disney hero _before_ being rude to a crone with an inexplicable red rose, sounds like a Disney hero a few minutes _after_ trying to let an old crone freeze in a thunderstorm. Come to think of it, that might just spoil the moral of the intro.
Now I want to hear him sing Gaston though. I'm more than happy to hear him sing *anything* he wants to sing though. Or read. I even like his spoken word stuff.
One of the things that I love about Geoff is that his diction is so good, no matter what octave he's in, or what effect he is pulling off with his voice. A lot of basses can hit low notes but the lyrics get very muddy and just sound like a rumble. Geoff is very musical throughout his range.
I love his diction too. I am a mezzo who often sang alto/male range parts in multi-part arrangements of choir/opera songs. You have to be very careful that your enunciation can keep up with your volume and range, and vice versa.
what amazes me most, perhaps, is geoff's bouncy, bouncy bass. he hits those subterranean low notes while still keeping the most light, lively bounce to his voice. this song is fast! yet geoff's voice is never heavy. them's some limber vocal cords!
One of my favorite reaction channels watched his House Of The Rising Sun and at one point went "you know, I think, the one day God was making this guy, he sorta went, well let's give him the range of five whole people and set him loose and see what happens" and tbh I couldn't agree more
I think this is one of the most impressive, and hidden songs in the world. I must’ve listened to it over 50 times and I can’t stop my body from dancing. If that’s not what music is about, what is?
in the description: "No Geoff's had their hair cut for this performance." 🤣🤣🤣 Hopefully also no Geoff's heads were cut for this performance, or do we have to be worried? There's... literally Jiff, Goeff and Jeph's heads lying on the table, I believe. May they RIP, 3 of Geoff's clones bravely lost their heads for the production of this video, we'll never forget their sacrifice. That's what I call dedication!
Its really obscure, but a song that Geoff absolutely HAS to sing at some point is an extended version of the song of the Phantom Train in that one halloween episode of Hey Arnold called "The Train 25" I'm still haunted by that conductor's bass voice all these years later and a Geoff cover might destroy my brain.

Okay as a fellow bass I have s solid C2 and on a good day a B1) who used to play old Brom Bones and narrate the Legend of Sleepy Hollow at Ft. Wilderness at Disney World, this is AMAZING!
I've been learning about head voice, chest voice, subharmonics, etc. Just realized, after many viewings, that the Geoff heads sing harmony using only their head voice. Nice pun, Geoff. Love your sense of humor!
Holy freaking crap, this is SO well put together, I CAN"T. Honestly, THAT VOICE. DAMN. CHILLS. And the video was SO well put together. And the perfect, harmonizing vocals. AGH. Someone call an ambulance please!
So Geoff can teleport now on top of singing incredibly low AND high... what a weird flex. He's a man of many talents. This cover is stuck in my head for all of October now. It's truly amazing and has such a perfect vibe, which is even more impressive to me than the singing alone, cause it's so tough to get the mood right with lighting, effects and (voice-)acting etc., but I think Voiceplay as a group really have mastered that. Thanks for this gem to Geoff and all your clones, you did an amazing collab again. Even if they might be divas to work with... give them some credit man, they lost their heads for this! :D In terms of what I'd love to see next, I wanna just encourage you to produce, sing and narrate whatever you, Geoff, would love to do! I guess there are many people suggesting, begging or even demanding for stuff, but as you said on Patreon, this is one of the songs you loved and geeked about for such a long time and finally had the chance to dive in and cover, so don't forget about your own wishes and favourite stories and songs. Cause I'm sure people gonna love to see what you're geeking about and you're gonna introduce more folks to awesome little gems like this song. We're here to follow and support your creative journey wherever it takes you! ps: *free virtual hug* for everyone reading this! these are tough times, we gotta be there for each other, have a wonderful day everyone
I know I said it before, but this is my new favoritest thing ever!! ❤️❤️❤️ I've been a fan of the Thurl Ravenscroft's version for a little longer than you have (I'm a wee bit older 😉). It's thrilling to hear you do something that obviously means a lot to you, and to do it such justice. 😍 And no, I am neither terrified nor surprised that your folks had all that stuff lying around, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 😉
@@GeoffCastellucci Thank you for putting this song cause these are 1 of my favorite. (The Headless Horseman Needs A Head Murararararahahahahah ------>🎃🐴🧛). I'm your new subsciber to your channel.
My 5 year old refuse to listen to "mommy music". I played this song today and she is convinced that the low note at the end is a long burp. Now we have to listen to "The burp song" over and over
A great tribute to Thurl (Tony the Tiger) Ravenscroft. Without a doubt, Geoff has the voice and also is a master of using recording technology that Thurl couldn't have imagined.
I'm impressed at how much you sound like Thurl himself. I've noticed that the audio version and the version in the actual cartoon both have a verse unique to them. In the cartoon the verse is "They say he's tired of his flaming top/He's got a yin to make a swap/So he rides one night each year/To find a head in the hollow here". I'd enjoy hearing a cover that combines both versions just to make the song a little longer.
I've heard this song from Geoff numerous of times. And even to this day, I'm still never prepared for 2:20 this note right here. Like Daaaayamn Geoff, your giving the girls heart attacks lol.
If Disney ever decided they wanted to re-record the audio for Haunted Mansion (which is a tall order for sure), this guy would be PERFECT. Thurl Ravenscroft would be proud!!
I agree with a couple of people below. Your own take on Ghost Riders in the Sky and Sounds of Silence would be as incredible as everything else you've done.
Geoff is seriously such an inspiration for the longest time i felt like i couldn't find my voice until i saw Geoff hitting insanely low notes and figured i wanted to do that and now i'm singing along with every song
Exactly. I always thought I was a baritone, but I’ve learned I can fairly easily sing along with Geoff (and Tim), which has opened up a whole new world for me.

When i was a child I had a vinyl LP with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on one side and this song was on it. The record of course was broken long ago and I hadn't heard this song since - but as soon as I started listening all the words came back! And with a voice as deep as I remembered.😊 I really enjoyed this version.
I agree!! When wearing headphones while listening to this awesome song with Geoff's amazing base right in the ears, it feels like getting a soothing scalp massage. I love it ^^
I know that I’m late to this Halloween party, but ever since watching this for the first time I’ve kept on smiling and giggling every time I watch it. The front vocal and the background instrumentals in this is very much like the version from Thurl Ravenscroft, and the contrast between the happy sounding instrumentals and the scary story makes it more fun than scary to listen to. But more than the audio part of this video what I find most amusing and enjoyable is all the visual details that I notice throughout the whole video. 0:17 The clock running as a reminder that something scary is right on our heels and we better hurry to safety. 0:39 The look that the narrator sends the three heads like ‘you guys better not start something now’. 0:27 + 1:00 The reference we get to the pumpkin head showing up and the visuals on the finger snap as a reference that this was originally a cartoon. 1:07 The look on the narrator’s face, when the trio actually start to sing is golden, a straight up a “what the heck?!” 1:25 The axe that the Headless Horseman will use to chopping heads with. 2:03 The eyes of the narrator turning red like the horse’s eyes in the cartoon. The ghostly movements throughout the whole video to reinforce the feeling of something ghostly and that we never know where the Headless Horseman is coming from. The three heads remind me of a barbershop quartet even though there are only three of them, and I’m fascinated by how much expression and personalities they portray with only the use of the faces. The head on the right seems constantly worried with his eyes flicking from side to side and a frown on the forehead. I get a feeling that he had his head chopped of doing a terrifying chase in the woods and now he still tries to watch over his shoulders. The head in the middle seems to be more amused about the situation and just having fun especially with the low note at the end. I feel almost like he must have been in cahoots with the Headless Horseman or maybe he just never took the story serious and now that he is only a head he seems to be stuck at that stage. The head on the left seems to have been traumatized and maybe there have been some nerve endings that have been damaged and has therefore left him with some tics in his face.
Hey, i figured this was a cool thing if you hadn't yet considered it. At the time I'm writing this you've got 68700 subs, and the 3 solo songs you've put out so far have averaged 357k views. so you've averaged 5.2 times more views than your current sub count, which is awesome. Well done Geoff! Ofc getting hung up on views is probably not great but its cool how many people apreciate your singing. This one was a lot of fun
Young Man, you just became my favorite Bass Singer of all time! I've heard a lot of Bass Singers, too... predominantly in Southern Gospel Music. You remind me of them...but with more resonance in your voice, than some of them do.
Honestly, the C2's are the biggest issue for me. Obviously then I can't hit the G#1 in chest, but I can get it fairly handily with subharmonics. I can't do a subharmonic C2 very well and I can only reach a C2 with open vowels. Curse you, vocal cords.
I’m jumping up and down and clapping with “fiendish glee!”😈 “King Geoff and the Geoffheads” I’m not in any way suggesting you consider it as a stage name.
Don't cut your hair! apart from your voice, your eyes, your smile, your enormous talent, your charisma and your manliness ... 🥰🥰🥰 your hair is part of that interesting attraction that has us all stunned ...🥰🥰🥰🥰
I absolutely love the lyrics being changed for this cover. I listen to different versions of this song year round, and this changes the horseman from being a seasonal ghost to an ever present threat, but in a fun spooky way. I like it.
Oh my goodness, splendid all over the place. The voice, the imagery, the three headless mini-mes, the underhanded humor, the enough-but-not-too-much special effects, the as-deep-as-possible-and-then-deeper voice ... Love it to bits.
This was one of my favorite songs originally from Thurl Ravenscroft. He was a multi-talented bass singer as is Geoff Castelluci is now. Love the touch and creativeness to this song!
I have known this song for 4 months and every day I listen to it 4-5 times. The low final note gives me the chills. I can't put into words how much I like this song! this is a masterpiece!

When Geoff hit that low note at the end, I could almost feel the earth splitting apart.
He does a similar earthshaker at the end of Oogie Boogie Man.
I think I felt my testiculars transition to ovaries
He hits earthshaking notes with the same emphasis Kristen Chenoweth hits the high notes.
Now gather round while I elucidate
On what happens outside, when it gets late
Along about midnight, the ghosts and banshees
Get together for their nightly jamborees
There's ghosts with horns and saucer-eyes
And some with fangs about this size
Some short and fat, some tall and thin
And some don't even bother to wear their skin
When I'm telling you brother, it's a frightful sight
To see what goes on, in the night
When the ghosts have a midnight jamboree
They break it up with a fiendish glee
Spooks are bad but thе one that's cursed
Is the Hеadless Horseman, he's the worst
When he goes a joggin' across the land
A holdin' his noggin in his hand
The demons take one look and groan
And hit the road for parts unknown
And there's no wraith like a spook that's spurned
They don't like him and he's really burned
Swear through the longest day he's dead
Yeah he'll show them that he can, get ahead
The Headless Horseman needs a head
The Headless Horseman needs a head
So close all the windows, lock the doors
Unless you're careful, he'll get yours
But don't think he'll hesitate a bit
'Cause he'll tip your top if it'll fit
And he likes 'em little, likes 'em big
Part in the middle, or a wig
Black or white or even red
The Headless Horseman needs a head
The Headless Horseman needs a head
The Headless Horseman needs a head
It's after midnight so, listen good
Better stay at home, like you should
'Cause right outside and waiting there

Now *gather* ‘round
@@RaulFRosa Definitely "gather 'round"...it's a common English expression.
@Dark Clan, thanks!
@@WoefulMinion ok, I corrected it. Thanks!
It's more like

Okay as a fellow bass I have s solid C2 and on a good day a B1) who used to play old Brom Bones and narrate the Legend of Sleepy Hollow at Ft. Wilderness at Disney World, this is AMAZING!
Wow!
geoff: i'm not a bass. also geoff: 2:00 -- 2:25
Thanks!
Fabulous! Very beautiful, a pleasure to listen to! Thank you! Svetlana. Russia, Krasnoyarsk.
Such a fantastic song that my son has so endearingly named “Headless Geoff.” 😂🥰
Haaa irony
How is your comment two hours agi if the video is only one hour ago?
Premiered an hour ago. It’s worth it to be a Patreon 😉
@@ebelknebel8585 oh ok
This is so catchy, I am so happy to listen to it
“I dare you to chest that F1” sounds like something Layne would say, Jejeje.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFF JEJEJE XD
It isn’t chest though?
@@魚-c3d I know, I’m just saying because it’s crazier to do it in chest and it’s funnier too🥴
@@魚-c3d Subharmonic for sure
He can do it now!
OMG I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!!!!! Let's do this!!!!
I would like to hear Geoff record Ghost Riders in the Sky. With his magnificent voice it would be truly amazing.
This may be your lucky year...!
@@tonifinley4872 Aaaand it's finally coming
Congrats 🎉
Well aren’t you a lucky one hahahahaaa
This aged well. Lol
Geoff you are going to kill me one of these days. He makes my soul and body shake when he hits those super low subharmonic’s/growl/fry notes. Man.
Geoff is the best bass singer alive change my mind
@WISDOM ABRAHAMSON words of wisdom right there
@WISDOM ABRAHAMSON Facts
2:05 why do the backup Geoff's look so happy while singing about heads being chopped off ?? 😂😂
Hypoxia.
🤣
@@GeoffCastellucci I didn't think it was possible to love you more. I now stand corrected.
They want him to join them
@@hobbesthetiger never thought about that, maybe they are just lonely, they just want friends!
Ok but why is your Thurl impression spot on?
And 2:01 that’s just showing off 🤣
It was so perfect!!
Agreed! 😁
I don't know! I need help...
Geoff Castellucci you clearly don’t need help 🤣
Geoff Castellucci that thurl impression was spot on!
I've been learning about head voice, chest voice, subharmonics, etc. Just realized, after many viewings, that the Geoff heads sing harmony using only their head voice.
Nice pun, Geoff. Love your sense of humor!
Lovely, that you too realised this. 👍🏼🤩
Holy freaking crap, this is SO well put together, I CAN"T. Honestly, THAT VOICE. DAMN. CHILLS. And the video was SO well put together. And the perfect, harmonizing vocals. AGH. Someone call an ambulance please!
Yeesss Geoff can’t wait for another amazing cover by one of the best singers of this time, keep up the good work!
So Geoff can teleport now on top of singing incredibly low AND high... what a weird flex.
He's a man of many talents.
This cover is stuck in my head for all of October now. It's truly amazing and has such a perfect vibe, which is even more impressive to me than the singing alone, cause it's so tough to get the mood right with lighting, effects and (voice-)acting etc., but I think Voiceplay as a group really have mastered that. Thanks for this gem to Geoff and all your clones, you did an amazing collab again. Even if they might be divas to work with... give them some credit man, they lost their heads for this! :D
In terms of what I'd love to see next, I wanna just encourage you to produce, sing and narrate whatever you, Geoff, would love to do! I guess there are many people suggesting, begging or even demanding for stuff, but as you said on Patreon, this is one of the songs you loved and geeked about for such a long time and finally had the chance to dive in and cover, so don't forget about your own wishes and favourite stories and songs. Cause I'm sure people gonna love to see what you're geeking about and you're gonna introduce more folks to awesome little gems like this song. We're here to follow and support your creative journey wherever it takes you!
ps: *free virtual hug* for everyone reading this!
these are tough times, we gotta be there for each other, have a wonderful day everyone
I'm looking forward to this. If it's anything like his Edgar Allen Poe reads, I'll listen to it a thousand times
It's a song, not a reading. I thought so too.
I saw that after I posted the comment. I still think I would listen to it over and over.
Какой голос! Блеск! Джефф ! Мне 80 лет, я живу в Москве. Восхищаюсь Вашим голосом! 😊
He's got the villain laugh totally down pact! 😉 Great special affects and great singing as usual, Geoff 😊😊
I know I said it before, but this is my new favoritest thing ever!! ❤️❤️❤️
I've been a fan of the Thurl Ravenscroft's version for a little longer than you have (I'm a wee bit older 😉). It's thrilling to hear you do something that obviously means a lot to you, and to do it such justice. 😍
And no, I am neither terrified nor surprised that your folks had all that stuff lying around, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 😉
THANK YOU!!!
@@GeoffCastellucci Thank you for putting this song cause these are 1 of my favorite. (The Headless Horseman Needs A Head Murararararahahahahah ------>🎃🐴🧛). I'm your new subsciber to your channel.
My 5 year old refuse to listen to "mommy music". I played this song today and she is convinced that the low note at the end is a long burp.
Now we have to listen to "The burp song" over and over
My little brother is the same
Ha ha ha! Seriously laughed out loud!
Lol
LOL! That's adorable. Leave it to a kid.
Icelektra, it actually FEELS like a burp when I try that note
When I do the subharmonics it sounds more tense but when he does it, it sounds so relaxed, I am fascinated
A great tribute to Thurl (Tony the Tiger) Ravenscroft. Without a doubt, Geoff has the voice and also is a master of using recording technology that Thurl couldn't have imagined.
Pretty nice he's giving credit to Thurl Ravenscroft since it's his arrangement of this song. Obviously Geoff is taking it to the next level.
Nobody has a better name for singing spooky songs than Thurl Ravenscroft though...
He should really do the bells of notre dam. He has the most perfect voice for that song!
or Hellfire!
I'm impressed at how much you sound like Thurl himself.
I've noticed that the audio version and the version in the actual cartoon both have a verse unique to them. In the cartoon the verse is "They say he's tired of his flaming top/He's got a yin to make a swap/So he rides one night each year/To find a head in the hollow here". I'd enjoy hearing a cover that combines both versions just to make the song a little longer.
Most impressive voice I've ever heard... the idea of him as Phantom of the Opera... 😲
Really?😕😕😕 A bass man as the Phantom of the Opera?? Really??😕😕😕
I would Love that! 😍
@@jasminnemcdonald94A well, voiceplay have a song from the phantom. But the phantom is played by Tony. And christine is played by Rachel
@@eduaelster well, voiceplay have a song from the phantom. But the phantom is played by Tony, and christine is played by Rachel
@@cheyendijk1750 I know but I don’t like Tonys voice that much like Geoffs. ✌🏼
I've heard this song from Geoff numerous of times. And even to this day, I'm still never prepared for 2:20 this note right here. Like Daaaayamn Geoff, your giving the girls heart attacks lol.
If Disney ever decided they wanted to re-record the audio for Haunted Mansion (which is a tall order for sure), this guy would be PERFECT. Thurl Ravenscroft would be proud!!
I agree with a couple of people below. Your own take on Ghost Riders in the Sky and Sounds of Silence would be as incredible as everything else you've done.
He did Ghost Riders!
Geoff is seriously such an inspiration for the longest time i felt like i couldn't find my voice until i saw Geoff hitting insanely low notes and figured i wanted to do that and now i'm singing along with every song
Exactly. I always thought I was a baritone, but I’ve learned I can fairly easily sing along with Geoff (and Tim), which has opened up a whole new world for me.
The talent for literally everything is immaculate! The editing, the harmony, the bass, all superb! How am I only just now finding this??! 😭😭🖤
1:59 that is a call to asleep in the deep, specifically the thurl Ravenscroft version
The "BEWARE" at 2:01-3 sounds like a nod to another song Thurl Ravenscroft recorded; Asleep in The Deep
Lawdy - I remember hearing this on a kids' record back in the late 1960s! And he's *KILLING* it!!! My new favorite version!
Lyrics ❤
Now, gather 'round while I elucidate
On what happens outside when it gets late
'Long about midnight the ghosts and banshees
Get together for their nightly jamborees
There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes
And some with fangs about this size
Some short and fat, some tall and thin
And some don't even bother to wear their skin
I'm tellin' you brother, it's a frightful sight
To see what goes on in the night
When the spooks have a midnight jamboree
They break it up with fiendish glee
Smokes are bad, but the one that's cursed
Is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst
When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land
Holdin' a noggin in his hand
Demons take one look and groan
And hit the road for parts unknown
And there's no wraith like a spook that's spurned
They don't like him, and he's really burned
He swears to the longest day he's dead
He'll show them that he can get a head
The Headless Horseman needs a head (2x)
So close all the windows, lock the doors
Unless you're careful, he'll get yours
Don't think he'll hesitate a bit
'Cause he'll flip your top if it'll fit
And he likes 'em little, likes 'em big
Part in the middle, or a wig
Black or white or even red
The Headless Horseman needs a head (3x)
It's after midnight so listen good
better stay at home like you should
Because right outside and waitin' there
Is the Headless horseman
Beware!
With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop
He's out lookin' for a top to chop
So don't stop to figure out a plan
You can't reason with a headless man
OH YEEES I NEEDED THIS
2nd stanza, 3rd line - *Spooks are bad, but the one that's cursed
When i was a child I had a vinyl LP with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on one side and this song was on it. The record of course was broken long ago and I hadn't heard this song since - but as soon as I started listening all the words came back! And with a voice as deep as I remembered.😊 I really enjoyed this version.
straordinario controllo del basso
im already gonna be 15 minutes late to work, because i couldnt pause your playlist. Damn you Geoff
... actually, just this last song, then i go
Headphone with max volume and bass is recommended when listening. 👌👌❤❤
I agree!! When wearing headphones while listening to this awesome song with Geoff's amazing base right in the ears, it feels like getting a soothing scalp massage. I love it ^^
*Bass. In music, it’s pronounced “base” but spelled “BASS”.
Yes; I, too, enjoy having my brain liquefied by vibrations.
Geoff just your normal voice is so low its AWESOME ! Probably the best in the WORLD in my opinion !
I know that I’m late to this Halloween party, but ever since watching this for the first time I’ve kept on smiling and giggling every time I watch it. The front vocal and the background instrumentals in this is very much like the version from Thurl Ravenscroft, and the contrast between the happy sounding instrumentals and the scary story makes it more fun than scary to listen to.
But more than the audio part of this video what I find most amusing and enjoyable is all the visual details that I notice throughout the whole video.
0:17 The clock running as a reminder that something scary is right on our heels and we better hurry to safety.
0:39 The look that the narrator sends the three heads like ‘you guys better not start something now’.
0:27 + 1:00 The reference we get to the pumpkin head showing up and the visuals on the finger snap as a reference that this was originally a cartoon.
1:07 The look on the narrator’s face, when the trio actually start to sing is golden, a straight up a “what the heck?!”
1:25 The axe that the Headless Horseman will use to chopping heads with.
2:03 The eyes of the narrator turning red like the horse’s eyes in the cartoon.
The ghostly movements throughout the whole video to reinforce the feeling of something ghostly and that we never know where the Headless Horseman is coming from.
The three heads remind me of a barbershop quartet even though there are only three of them, and I’m fascinated by how much expression and personalities they portray with only the use of the faces.
The head on the right seems constantly worried with his eyes flicking from side to side and a frown on the forehead. I get a feeling that he had his head chopped of doing a terrifying chase in the woods and now he still tries to watch over his shoulders.
The head in the middle seems to be more amused about the situation and just having fun especially with the low note at the end. I feel almost like he must have been in cahoots with the Headless Horseman or maybe he just never took the story serious and now that he is only a head he seems to be stuck at that stage.
The head on the left seems to have been traumatized and maybe there have been some nerve endings that have been damaged and has therefore left him with some tics in his face.
Quel style un artiste hors pair une voix explosive et si stable dans les grave tes un monstrer geoff castelucci un fan français biz
Hey, i figured this was a cool thing if you hadn't yet considered it. At the time I'm writing this you've got 68700 subs, and the 3 solo songs you've put out so far have averaged 357k views. so you've averaged 5.2 times more views than your current sub count, which is awesome. Well done Geoff!
Ofc getting hung up on views is probably not great but its cool how many people apreciate your singing. This one was a lot of fun
That last note shook my room
Geoff, Tim, and Avi should have disclaimer's on their videos that subwoofers are required so that you don't blow out our speakers/headphones!
I'm still hoping to see a collab from them one day, to really test the limit of my subwoofer.
@@zomby2d YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂
@@zomby2d, do you have extra insurance for the floor under your subwoofer?
@@DennisKovacich I fully expect the whole house to come crashing down.
Young Man, you just became my favorite Bass Singer of all time! I've heard a lot of Bass Singers, too... predominantly in Southern Gospel Music. You remind me of them...but with more resonance in your voice, than some of them do.
Best version of this song that I have ever heard! The video is just perfect!
Wow. This song made me remember of my childhood. I remember that I loved this song during the cartoon, specially the rythm.
I love how all the heads on the books are singing in head-voice! Heh!
Sneaky, sneaky puns XD
This tone, so dark and smooth. A great control. Good idea for the "head choir"!
Definitely channeling Thurl Ravenscroft! You have quite a wonderful voice!! Mesmerizing and absolutely needs to be out there! Thank you for posting!
Love this song. Thurl Ravenscroft is truly one of the best basses. Geoff really did it justice
YOOOO I just noticed this has 1.3 million views!! Congrats man!!!
me: *tries singing this in bass voice*
geoff: *drops into his subterranean note*
me: ...damn it
Me: practised singing Subharmonics for 8 months and is astounded when I actually managed to hit it
@@pe8268 it took you 8 months?
@@gaiblexx1919 I've simply been practising it for 8 months. Obviously it didn't take me that long to hit a proper note
@@pe8268 I was about to say lol
Honestly, the C2's are the biggest issue for me. Obviously then I can't hit the G#1 in chest, but I can get it fairly handily with subharmonics. I can't do a subharmonic C2 very well and I can only reach a C2 with open vowels. Curse you, vocal cords.
I’m jumping up and down and clapping with “fiendish glee!”😈
“King Geoff and the Geoffheads” I’m not in any way suggesting you consider it as a stage name.
Geoff just reusing his “this is Halloween” shirt
I think it's a slightly different shirt. The ties are different. Gotta love a man who owns more than one of these.
Yeah he said on Patreon that it's not the same shirt, just similar 🙂
Katie D ahh
Stacey Post how did you even notice
2:01 is that a chest F#1? Back to back videos of a chest F#1? (Voiceplay vid yesterday, now this)
I just noticed at about 1:10 the look when the heads start singing. Never caught it before!
I'm your biggest fan from voice play..
For me you're the best bass singer ever existed !!
I really like your cover ... Keep it up!!!
Don't cut your hair! apart from your voice, your eyes, your smile, your enormous talent, your charisma and your manliness ... 🥰🥰🥰 your hair is part of that interesting attraction that has us all stunned ...🥰🥰🥰🥰
,,No Geoff's had their hair cut for this performance.''
Nice note. :D
That was... Wow! The depth of your voice is just so solid and pure! It's mind blowing and I love it! 😯
I REMEMBER THIS CARTOON- oh the nostalgia- its been years since I've watched it this is so cool!!
Boah, das ist sowas von GROSSARTIG! Wahnsinnig toll gesungen, umwerfend inszeniert (und irgendwie erst noch total witzig gemacht). Bin beeindruckt
This gets more and more amazing each time I listen to it. Thurl would be proud, Geoff.
Ok, so I know I'm late, but I just started reading the descriptions on these videos and I'm dying😂 They are so funny
Already ready to listen to this 182 times
Me too! 🤣 And I plan on BLASTING IT for the rest of the month!
And das on periodt 🤣🤣🤣
@@rebekahgaly-davis4368 Hear hear *thumbs up*
did you count? bet you missed a few times
I absolutely love the lyrics being changed for this cover. I listen to different versions of this song year round, and this changes the horseman from being a seasonal ghost to an ever present threat, but in a fun spooky way. I like it.
Oh my goodness, splendid all over the place.
The voice, the imagery, the three headless mini-mes, the underhanded humor, the enough-but-not-too-much special effects, the as-deep-as-possible-and-then-deeper voice ... Love it to bits.
That’s fantastic
This was one of my favorite songs originally from Thurl Ravenscroft. He was a multi-talented bass singer as is Geoff Castelluci is now. Love the touch and creativeness to this song!
I have known this song for 4 months and every day I listen to it 4-5 times. The low final note gives me the chills. I can't put into words how much I like this song!
this is a masterpiece!
Ya I agree this song is amazing
your imagination is way out there and I love it..!
I love how you do this in the style of Thurl Ravenscroft's version of the song, between the singing and the melody.
