Quirky really covers it! Mitch was asked what it was about and he said he had no idea, but it was fun to sing. Fun for us, too. The original is also strange and weird. Very creative.
Yeah, I heard that interview and thought, if they can't even figure out what the song is about when they've learned the words and pondered on it, then there's no sense in me trying to figure it out. And yes, the more you listen to the song the catcher it is and the more you begin to like it - even the verses.
Sounds like a Gyps caravan song from a movie. I don’t get Christmas at all 4:31
“I don’t know why I like it so much”. 😂 I think anyone that didn’t know the original felt the same way. Why do we like it so much? Because PTX knows how to create magic…and it always works! Great reaction as always!
I didn't know this was a cover, for a long time.
It's sort of like a capella meets Dr Seuss, without the rhymes.
Or maybe a song that like Tim Burton would write.
But, with a happy and bouncy upbeat twist.
It's actually one of my favorites.
You might find, after the 2nd or 3rd time through... You will probably like it, more than you think you will.
😸
Yes! I thought the same! Tim Burton meets a capella, fall in love and make a Dr Suess song baby.
It always makes me think of Dr Seuss lol
The original by Cosmo Sheldrake is much slower, has a long drum introduction, and is a single singer, so it's very different from this version. It's definitely not a Christmas carol, although I'd just have to call it a fantasy song. But this is one of my favorites - whether the song lyrics make sense or not, it's a blast to listen to them perform it!
Some of the references are to the "Jabberwocky" poem in Lewis Carroll's "Alice Through the Looking Glass." "Slithy tobes," "borogroves," "heffalumps," etc. The main theme seems to be to make every minute of our lives count. I love its bouncy fun. It cheers me up every time I hear it.
This was a favorite poem of my brother’s when we were growing up, he had it memorized and would recite it on command when he was about 9 or 10. So these phrases were very familiar to me 😀
I love this song from them. My daughter says it sounds like what faerie folk would say to someone when trying to get them down to Underhill.
Why can’t this just be a feel good happy song that’s superbly executed ?!?!
I love the song and ALWAYS feel better after listening to it…that’s more than enuff for me!
The first time I watched this video I was like "I have absolutely no idea what is going on here... but I LOVE it!" I think of it as the musical equivalent of the Mad Hatter's tea party.
The song references "Winnie the pooh, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan" Greek myths, and other children's stories. In other words, come along to world of adventure, fantasy and play
i think it wouldve been helpful for you to listen to the original first. it's VERY different than this, they definitely upgraded it a lot and made it way more pop and upbeat. that being said, it is a super fun song, you can never go wrong with a ptx reaction :)
Listen to a bit of the original. It is even more bizarre. This was written to go with the Alice and wonderland kind of theme, I think. Listen to it 4 more times and you’ll love it like the rest of us!
Great reaction..... This song was used in an Apple Commercial....... It was catchy and Pentotonix just ran with it........ Made it their own.......... Thanks for all your reactions.........
As a bookworm, I loved the lyrics. There are random references to lots of books. Lewis Carroll of course, but also others. It's such a fun, bouncy, treasure-hunt of a song!
This song became popular when it was used as the background for an iPhone advert on TV. The lyrics are straight from fantasy stories and the vibe is unstoppable. Everybody loves it. We can't explain why.
It's kooky but fantastic, kirstin killed it again
This is one of their more overlooked pieces from the Early Matt era. I love it!
I love this song so much. It puts you in a good mood, but at the same time, the lyrics are so cryptic that you keep thinking about them. It's from Cosmo Sheldrake. The song became known through a 2019 Apple TV commercial. It's not Christmas themed at all. More inspired by fantasy stories. For example, The "Heffalump" is an animal from Winnie pooh, and the "slithy toves and Borogoves" from a dark children's poem called "The Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll :)
Quirky, absolutely! Don't know why I like it so much, yep. And when that chorus kicks in, I am dancing around like a loon. 🤣😂
You should listen to the original...it's just as kooky. Actually Cosmo really liked PTX version/upgrade. I consider it just a fun, up-beat and kooky song and I really like it.
I always feel like I've entered a fairytale when I listen to this one. I love that PTX shows us that we don't have to be tied down to one type of musical genre. We can dip in and out of all of it and love it all. They make us more well rounded, musically. After they hit me with something unexpected, I hear myself saying over and over again, "OK. What's next?"
Would. LOVE for you to react to "Shoshanna Bean with Scott Hoying - All To Me". Scott is more soulful than you've ever heard him. Please don't miss this one. I promise, you won't regret reacting to it. Thanks.
The more you listen to it, the more you will like it.
This song always trips me out! At first I thought it was a song from Winnie the Pooh?? The only Heffalump I’ve ever heard of is in the world of Pooh! 😂 The chorus is so damn catchy it made me love the song!
Thanks for your PTX reactions!
Checked it out and the guy that wrote it is an English guy. He calls his genre "Baroque pop". Some of the words are made up to give the song the feel of a fairy tale. The reference to the "birdsong" is that he bases his melodies on birdsongs. Hoped it helps.
Welcome to the club of "I don't know what this is, but I really dig it." That seems to be the general consensus of a majority of people who listen to this one. I've got a background in classical music, so I was less tripped out by it than a lot of people (musically), but the lyrics were like putting Alice In Wonderland to music, so it was definitely still trippy for me, too. I loved your reaction (you popped up at random on my front page, btw)!
“I don’t know why I like this so much” 🤣 same friend. Same. But it’s fire 🔥
I had to look it up because I couldn't remember and it was driving me nuts but it's not Doctor Seuss (close though), it's inspired by Lewis Carroll’s poem Jabberwocky from Through the Looking-Glass: “’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.” So very much related to Alice in Wonderland I believe! It's just such a fun quirky song that is very upbeat and bouncy and you just can't help but chair dance along to it - and friggan song of a Mitch! He gets up there high - another fun one that I have probably suggested before (my memory is crap) so sorry for a repeat potentially but 'Sing' is an original that is amazing and upbeat
Definitely weird, but the technicality and difficulty that PTX just smashed out of the park makes this one of my top 10 favorites by them! Never heard the original, and I probably would not like any other version but this. You can't help but vibe to it, even if the words make no sense!
Original was done by Cosmo Sheldrake. Some of the words are from the poem The Jabberwocky. It truly is a very weird song. Not a Christmas carol. I love both this and the original.
I've always been drawn to the name Cosmo Sheldrake. It's quirky enough that it stuck in my mind.
I agree. It's weird, but a good weird! And the more times I listened to it, the more it grew on me. As for what genre it belongs to, I kept it REALLY simple. It's in the Pentatonix genre :D
It's a weird and catchy song, think of it as a psychedelic 'Alice in the Wonderland' song. The lyrics were originally written sung by Cosmo Sheldrake, but Pentatonix as usual made and sung it much much better.
They say they are choir nerds at heart and they love to sing this song bc its like when they were in choir.
This is definitely not a Christmas carol nor Christmas song. Maybe you need to watch the original video by the original artist. You will be scratching your head even more. LOL. I love this Pentatonix video and I love their rendition of the song. Most fans love "Come Along". I see that others have explained the song already so I won't repeat. The words of the song are pretty cool. Read them and listen to them. Who wouldn't want to run away from the hum-drum and go to a place safe from greed, anger and boredom...?
I think it is a fantasy song like some of the Winnie The Pooh songs, such as Hephalumps and Woozles, but with a darker edge.
I had heard that it was supposed to be part of a sequel to the Nightmare Before Christmas or something like that, but it never happened.
It had references to Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" and Winnie The Pooh and various phrases that reminded me of Alice, Looking Glass and Winnie The Pooh. I get the impression the song is the siren song of some dark master cheerfully luring children away from their regular life for some bad purpose.
They do a similar treatment to My Favorite Things, which is usually a bubbly song, being from The Sound Of Music. But they did the dark elf version, which is really fun. When a song has become too predictable and boring, they make a key change and give it new life. Quite often, all they really need to do is to fix the arrangement, better chord sequences, better percussion design, cleaner vocal execution and removal of annoying indulgences, such as in Royals. I hated the syrupy original of Royals, but PTX's version has the syrup removed. But sometimes a good song has been done the same way too many times and just needs a change to be interesting.
PTX's voice mix is exceptionally good at strange fantasy songs. Oddly enough, an excellent example is their rendition of "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" from the Nutcracker Suite, which won them a grammy.
Just a great feel good song..one of my faves!!
This is one of their biggest upgrades. The original is completely different. Almost not the same song. Many Pentaholics get Disney vibes, possibly Alice in Wonderland specifically.
Owhh it's been so long since the last time I listened to rhis. This is an orginal of an English artist named Cosmo Sheldrake. After watching this, I checked out Cosmo. His other works are yup, somewhat weird. The PTX upgrade is indeed upbeat. This is not a Christmas song btw. And yes, the song has been used in an iPhone commercial years ago. Thanks Sean
Cosmo Sheldrake - "son of parapsychologist Rupert Sheldrake and voice teacher Jill Purce, and the brother of biologist Merlin Sheldrake", English composer. Started very young with incredible originality. Takes ques from the sounds of nature. Definitely worth going down the rabbit hole discovering him. The song took off in the US when it played as the soundtrack for a commercial for an 2018 Apple iphone. The minute I heard that song before PTX covered it, I posted over and over again that they needed to cover it. Thankfully, someone read my posts and they covered it in 2019. LOL
Vocabulary note: cues and queues are homophones. It was pretty creative of you to split the difference and write "ques" when you didn't know which word you wanted. The word you wanted was cues.
Vocab-nerd, out.
Can't tell if you've already done this one (don't see a PTX playlist on your channel) but White Winter Hymnal is a great one and with a twist that you'll really enjoy.
I get the impression it is telling us that life is too short to live it in a humdrum way. The reference to mythical creatures and nonsense phrases is calling us to live more like a child with the wonder of dreams and play.
Love this version!!! Love your look of confusion during the song. It gets stuck in my head often. I often think of Dr. Suess when I hear this. Not sure why, I guess it is just the bright colors, silly lyrics and bouncy vibe. You really need to check their cover of The Greatest Show!!! 😍😍😍😍WARNING......You will get Mitch-slapped!!😍😍😍😍
Loved it! But yea weird as hell😂
Yep, definitely weird and wonderful. I liked the bewildered look you had through most of it, all the while boppin’ along like the rest of us. It looks others have explained the nonsense, so I’ll just say thanks for listening to one of my favorite PTX songs. Peace …
I’ve always thought of this as a nonsense song. It doesn’t make sense, and it’s not supposed to. I love it! It’s so much fun!
This is one of my favorits of Ptx covers. So fun and upbeat.
First time I listened I was like #what? and now it's on my Short List Faves ⚡🔥🙌🏻🔥
I think the first time I saw this one I just said "I have no idea what's going on but I'm having a good time."
I kind of think of this now as "well if the fae come disguised as PTX I guess I'll go with them willingly?"
Definetely in my Top 5 ranking of PTX songs.
Your reaction cracks me up 😂 Maybe the genre could be called Christmas-core. I think of the Grinch that Stole Christmas when I hear this.
It definitely sounds Seussical.
definitely prefer this version rather than the original by Cosmo Sheldrake great reaction by the way once again Sean.
Look. Look. Listen. Lissttenn! Love that reaction.
🙌
I don't know what the hay they are singing about, all I know is that I love them singing it. There is not any other song that I listen to where I don't know what type of song it is, I don't understand what the song is about, and I think the song is weird but in spite of all that I love the song and add it to my playlist anyway. I think that speaks to the expertise of Pentatonix that you will like a song and not even know anything about the song itself. Sometimes it's best not to put everything in a box and just enjoy it for what it is, good music.
I had somewhat reaction as this song began. The visuals is the thing, the simple set with cool lighting, and can talk about Kirsten’s traffic stopping outfit? They just sit there, and make it look like they’re having sooo much fun. I know it’s not live, but I can see them riffing around on the plane between gigs and cutting up the whole time.
It's a fun song that makes me feel better after hearing...
Come Along just seems like a song you would find in an animated Day of The Dead movie! Think this song as background of the movie Coco
Yes! I can see that
Pentatonix version of Dr. Seuss meeting Tim Burton vibes.
I feel like the song belongs grouped in with the "Nightmare before Christmas" type of vibe.
Very much so haha
It really didn't matter much to me what it was about. It is just a really fun song...great reaction.
This gives my dr. Seuss vibes with the weird world he created and the odd storylines and words! But this is still so fun! And they are so talented!! Love your reactions! ❤
Great reaction! I felt the same when I first heard it, but it does grow on you, especially when you stop trying to figure out what the heck it all means! 😂 It’s fun and catchy and it’s PTX so it’s fantastic!
One of my faves!
The original was used in some Apple product commercial back in the day... but I'm pretty sure it was written for a never-completed sequel to A Nightmare Before Christmas. It's definitely a weird one, always makes me think of Where The Wild Things Are.
(in your fine words):Listen" in a shout, It was good, you were vibing to it. It's a strange one but it bopped! Fantasy like Alice in Wonderland. LOL Good reaction, thanks!
I think it has to do with books, ie Alice in wonderland and Winnie the pooh. Stories will always be there even when the sun goes down. Stories can take away the boredom anger, sadness, ect.
Absolutely loved your reaction to this!!
🙏
I'm laughing. I LOVE the part where you say, "I don't know why I like it so much." I thought exactly the same thing. Not at the same moment you did, but during this song, the first time I heard it. Here's my answer... "How can you NOT???" Such a catchy vibe, absolutely stunning harmonies and textures... Amazing, as usual! My head was bobbing, my feet were tapping... I was FORCED by the magical spell they cast to just get into it.... head to toe. So fun! Great rection!!! I subscribed just based on your obvious enjoyment!!!!
Haha exactly. There’s just something about it! Thank you for your support 🙏
Hehehe. I heard the original. Is kind of an English carol old folk song type. Trust me... Is an upgrade
Thank you!
you can really see Kirstin embracing her inner disney character in this music video lol
💯
I'm with ya, Love it, no idea why LOL!!!!! Great harmonies, fantastic voices, pretty sure it was from an artist in England a while back.
Love this one it's quirky that's why it's so good ✌
please react to the original...i would love to see that haha
This is a whimsical song with references to the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.
Recommend their cover of Shallow.
I love that you said some kind of weird Christmas song lol 😂 you can’t deny It makes you feel some kind of way 🙃🤪😵💫music is life 🎶
Hey Sean 🙋🏻♀️ can you do some dirty loops - ( breakdown or work shit out ) both cause there so amazing 🤩
I enjoy you Sean thanks for making smile 😊🎶
I forgot to add the poem The Jabberwocky is considered a nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll. You should read the poem.
So it's a very strange song - but fun! I think the oddness of it allowed them to just concentrate on the music they were making. ETA: I have this on my upbeat playlists.
If you want an original try Anchor. It’s one of my favorites. I don’t know why they never made an official music video for it.
This song was in the movie Nightmare before Christmas
It sounds like it would be haha
Some of the words come from the Jabberwocky poem from Alice in Wonderland
The original was composed and recorded by British musician Cosmo Sheldrake. Apple picked it up in their commercial for their iPhone XR. All the colors they're wearing are a nod to the commercial. It totally grows on you. I think Pentatonix improved it with the tempo and harmonies. ruclips.net/video/UfiAr48KyRM/видео.html
Weird but so freaking catchy!! I loved it!! 😂❤
💯
It’s a weird little song for sure, but it grows on you. I like that PTX upgraded it big time. The original is even stranger. It’s by Cosmo Sheldrake. ruclips.net/video/bIyl9bCp6W4/видео.html
I loved it❤
Think Alice in Wonderland meets Winnie the Pooh meets Walt Disney and Tim Burton. Not sure how you got Xmas out of that. 😉
Does it matter the genre? Just say you love it, and move on and listen to it again. LOL I love it and it's so upbeat almost sounds like something you would hear in an animated movie like for instance The Grinch, even though it isn't a Christmas song. It's just FUN!
Yes it matters in terms of answering my curiosity! The more you know, the better you can understand something and maybe dive further in the rabbit hole 🤘🔥 this is oddly addicting tho haha
First time I saw this I turned it off halfway thru then I got addicted to it lol
I'm with you on your opinions of the verses. If you watch the original you'll see that this is a vast improvement over the original. I suppose if I had partaken of something gummy I might have gotten into the original more. Their arrangement is so good and gets me moving every time.
The original song had a darker, more malevolent feel to it. PTX kicked up the tempo and gave more of a funhouse vibe
I think when reactors do this one they should check out the original first to see what pentatonix was working with 😂
The lyrics are very literary. Quotes from Alice in Wonderland. Slithy toves and Borogoves are from the Jaberwocky.
Ahhh ok that helps this make sense haha
Hey Sean. You like PTX and so do soooo many people. I think you would truly enjoy their cover of “The Sound of Silence”. In my opinion, it’s better than the original.
It sounds like the music from the baroque era of music, just modernized. A lot of Christmas carols are from the renaissance era; baroque developed richer harmonies and strayed away from the heavy religious nature of the renaissance. It sounds very whimsical and festival-like. My take, and I'm not an expert.
If you think this is weird, listen to the original. I say "weird" in a good way though, I had to listen to it twice, before I liked it, but I do like it. The first time through, I was enamored by the process of the making of the song.
Think Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky!
A haunted Christmas song? Bah, humbug! 😄
😂
Weird song that I can not get tired of listening to. Thanks. Lol.
You want an original? Try Coffee in Bed, Be My Eyes, Sing!
The reason you didn't like the verses is because the verses are written as choruses. in the last "verse" the lyric is; Come along with this verseless song and get to where the 2 ends meet" The song is styled with no real versus which is why the ones you thought Were versus didn't sound good to you. It's a clever tune. If you listen to the original, you see that this is truly an upgrade.
It's ferries, singing
If Dr Seuss wrote music.
lol fr
So many people don't get the real message of this song.
And that message is???
@@df5199 Beats me! I'm one of the many!
