My bishop and his first counselor performed this at our ward brunch, and it was amazing!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh look at the guy doing the Carlton dance at 1:58. He does it so well. These guys are seriously so talented. Go BYU Vocal Point!
I heard this on the radio the other day and thought it was hilarious! I didn't know it was BYU Vocal Point!!! Love them!
i've seen these guys live 3 times now. they're amazing. the lead singer (paul) on the africa christmas song is my favorite. vocal point is amazing! :).
love this its one of my favorite ones they do every year especially since my birthday is in december!
They've always been good despite having to switch out new singers almost every year at BYU!
purely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great-who disliked it?
"once there was a snowman a snowman a snowman" mormon reference, haha.
Straight No Chaser was definitely first. But both do a great job with it.
@Irishwhatever4 It's actually called "Rains Down in Africa" by Toto.
they did a good job with the Straight No Chaser version of this song. :D
@SingerGuy59 As a former singer, and arranger in an acapella group, I can say that the music is not taken note for note and all the same intonations that they did. The very good acappella groups arrange their own music. Although, some may sound similar, they are usually quite different. There is plenty of new music for groups to perform. One just has to be creative in how they arrange and perform it.
I can't decide if i like Straight no Chaser or Vocal Point better. The chord as 2:52 was kickass and their tenor was cool. But Steve Morgan from SNC (the white guy of their two high tenors) makes those high notes sound completely effortless. Check it out for yourself.

@ThingsnStuffCrew '98 actually. Vocal Point covered Straight No Chaser.
There isn't a whole lot of new music available for collegiate groups to perform. If you go to a competition you'll hear many of the same numbers done by different groups. So while it's true that SNC did it first, Vocal Point hardly "stole" it.
@LittleBoiFen And it isn't like SNC didn't "adapt" their version from the Williston Caterwaulers and groups before them either.
LMAO! That tenor better sing...good Lord.
Who originally wrote the Christmas in Africa song? I want to have it with me at all times, especially while I am running. :)
Africa by Toto
also by Karl Wolf
This is a little different from Straight No Chaser's version; but who cares? They perform it well!
Yeah, I'll take the bass who did the Carlton dance...yeah.
TWO DISLIKES!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Somebody doesn't know the difference between a thumbs-up and a thumbs-down...
@ThingsnStuffCrew No actually. Straight No Chaser had their arrangement from back '99.
Do you know if there is an MP3 of this? I would LOVE to have it on my iPod. Please MESSAGE me if you know. Thanks (:
My high school did something like that... But they started to rap a Jewish song :D
@Noone6six Are you mormon? If not then i don't blame you for not liking Once There Was a Snowman. That's a song that mormon kids learn when they are really little. It's just a fun cute song to sing for them. So most mormons think that part in this song is really funny.
yes, they are doing the same song as straight no chaser, but that doesn't mean anything. Almost all of straight chaser's songs are just remakes in A' Capella.
@dudechuck82 What version did you listen to? The SNC version is so much better vocally and better performed. Vocal Point did a decent job but just did a cover of the original changing out one or two things.
SNC winns....but i still like it :-P
The line "I had christmas down in Africa" isn't NEARLY as epic without the token black guy in your group.
Nice Carlton dance btw.
Okay, it's a good song, but I've heard it before... This song actually belongs to the group called Straight No Chaser... A group from Indianna University! This is NOT an original VP song. Sorry guys~
Well I think(hope) the reasoning was to be politically correct to Jewish tradition, which is kinda still uptight but whatever.
Still good, but which came first, Vocal Point or SNC's performance?
@Irishwhatever4 toto ;)
Not at all "adapted" from Straight No Chaser's song...
I didn't like Once There Was A Snowman either, but they used it in lieu of the Jewish Dreidl song (which IMO would have made it 4 times as funny....not EVERYTHING is blasphemous...)
They stole most of this from Indiana Universities "Straight No Chaser"
