    This is from the 1960 AT&T musical "Tom, Dick, and Harriet", with vocals from The Sportsmen Quartet. That's Thurl Ravenscroft on bass, but Jim Backus is pretending to sing.

    Lyrics:
    I’ve got a honey baby t’other side of town
    I talk to her upon the telephone, telephone
    I just can’t see her everyday but I’ll be boun
    I won’t let her forget she’s mine alone, mine alone
    You bet I’ve got her number, she’s got mine as well
    A long, a short, a long, I’m on her line
    Then with thanks to Mr. Alexander Graham Bell
    Why this is what I say to baby mine
    Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal, my baby
    Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart’s on fire, oh baby
    If you refuse me, honey you’ll lose me, and you’ll be left alone
    Oh baby, telephone and tell me I’m your own
    Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal, my baby
    Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart’s on fire, oh baby
    If you refuse me, honey you’ll lose me, and you’ll be left alone
    Oh baby, telephone and tell me I’m your own

      they could have 5 guys singing barbershop, but yeah traditionally it's 4 guys, my dad used to sing in one for half of his life lol, as i kid i really didn't enjoy the style of music, but as an adult i have grown some appreciation for it.
      playing fallout games and the bioshock games helped me to this direction, now i can't get enough of it and feel like youtube doesn't have enough of these oldies tunes.
      i mean there is a lot of newer style barbershop, but i have more interest in the older songs over the new stuff at this time.

      they have been called barbershop quartets the whole time though.
      i'm not sure about this quintets is though, it's obviously spelled differently?
      what makes me mad is when your looking for barbershop quartet music, i often run into something that doesn't at all reflect a quartet and it's just some rap music, it's super annoying lol.

    The bass appears to be Jim Backus. He played Mr. Howell on Gilligan's island and provided the voice for Mr. Magoo. I don't know who's doing the actual singing but I don't think it's the guys being pictured. There is no way that Jim Backus had that low of a singing voice. But I could be wrong!

      Without counting the terrible garage band nonsense music being created, modern music has STUCK to basic rhythms and progression. The bulk of it comes from what is popular now, pop, trap, etc.

      Because tastes and mass appeal have changed; we've moved closer to more electronic sounds and even EDM over the years. It's a natural part of how society and music interact; it's why the barbershop quartet took over from the more religous SATB ensamble.
