newfangled four? no waaAAYYYYY!! For the barbershop newcomers, barbershop normally refers to the style of vocal harmony and is (normally) performed in a men's quartet with a lead, tenor, baritone, and bass. At the end of every arrangement, there is a 'tag' which is kind of like a coda and often has a long high note sung by the lead whilst the other parts carry the rhythm (although tags don't have to be loud and energetic). If you watch barbershop quartets you'll notice that the harmony is mostly based around dominant sevenths, and the person singing the seventh will sing it slightly flat so that it is justly tuned. When sung like this, a 'ringing tone' is created as the pitches interfere to create a harmonic. If you want to watch barbershop then you should probably check out the Barbershop Harmony Society (ruclips.net/user/BarbershopHarmony38). Happy singing!
If this vid gets even one more person to fall in love with the new fangled four than I will be extremely happy And yes I know they broke up but they are my fav comedic singers ever
Every time I listen to pieces I sang years ago, I have a small crisis wondering what hellish arrangement I've stumbled upon before remembering what part I sang.
I just got over the fact that Ryan left the newfangled four and you decide that now is a good time to transcribe Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? I'm sending you my therapist's bill for the next few weeks, alright?
Normally I'm not a huge fan of Acapella groups like this, but this was really fun to watch. These four fellas are extremely talented and excellent performers
If you think these guys are talented you should check out some of the actual International Champions like the Bluegrass Student Union, The Gas House Gang, and The Boston Common just to name a few.
Barbershop is absolutely awesome! Even if you don't normally like Acapella, barbershop is kinda unique. At least listen to "the newfangled four", they have tons of other fun songs
Call me crazy, but I ended up watching the whole video and only after reading your comment realized that the whole thing was acapella. LOL Kudos to the group for such an outstanding performance.
They're not really regarded for their overwhelming skill in comparison to some other quartets but the Barbershop world will never be the same after them, a shame they're kind of disbanded
@@andrec.fennell9255 same here! It'll be different, but the new baritone seems to be fitting in well. Maybe this year they'll be fifteen people's favorite thing 😉.
My dad would have LOVED this. Being a classically trained baritone himself (whom always tried bass for some reason) and loved singing in quartets, this was his element. Rest in peace daddy.
I went to school with Jackson (the lead I believe), he was a trumpet player back then. Super nice, multitalented guy. Great job guys, you all sound fantastic!
what's really impressive is how they maintained 4 part harmony when the guy on the left started going sharp at the end - you can hear the offset for just a moment before they all match him perfectly all the way to the end
Never expected to see the Newfangled Four on this channel. Great transcription as always! :) They're coming back, by the way. They've found a new Baritone and will be performing again.
@@bunniiac Don't quote me on this, but I think it was a health issue. Regardless, Ryan will be dearly missed and I'm sure we all wish him the best with whatever project he pursues next. He left his mark in the Barbershop world. Here's hoping the Newfangled "3+1" will be able to pick up where they left off.
@@bunniiac they have a facebook post on it, the short version is that their ideals about how to rehearse, etc were very conflicting, and it was affecting their friendship. ryan chose to leave, and he's now in a new quartet singing lead (i think noteable quartet)
oh hey I've been waiting for this... would love a transcription of their "hello my baby through the years" - must have watched that at least a hundred times (and that's not even an exaggeration...)
I was lucky enough to see these guys live and meet them after the show. The bass (Jake) was super nice, and overall it was a great treat to see them perform.
I've known about these guys for years and it's so cool to see you transcribing them. I used to take vocal lessons from Ryan (the baritone), and got to see them in person. It sucks that Ryan left
The bass' mom was my homeroom teacher in middle school! She liked to show us the yearly barbershop competitions but I had to go to high school and covid hit before they were finally crowned as number one and the ceremony had to be held virtually which sucks :(
The Newfangled Four is truly an amazing group. Found these guys in 2019 I’m pretty sure and I forgot about them in time and it’s so good to see these guys again
YES I'm so happy you did a vid on the newfangled four!! if anyone wants to watch more of their performances, Barbershop Harmony Society's channel here on youtube has a bunch of their contest performances :)
Newfangled Four is my favourite barbershop group ever, so this is great to see on here! I saw them perform this live at a concert in Sydney back in 2019 and it's incredible every single time you hear it!
@@paperheartzz What I mean is that Joey sings Tenor in the Newfangled four quartet, and he knows how to do a dance called the drop while singing the Mary Poppins. Barbershop is normally a style of harmonizing. Men quartet has Lead, Tenor, Baritone and Bass. Women quartet: Lead, Soprano, Mezzo and Alto. Get it?
CORRECTION: the tenor note on bar 19 is probably not an F#, but a harmonically "just" tuning of G natural (flattened a bit from its equal temperament standard) which is commonplace for barbershop 7th chords, since it emphasizes the harmonic series and creates the signature barbershop 'ring'. This is the same thing as how the Bb partial before high C above the staff on the trumpet is much flatter than if you played Bb with the first valve.
Now Gandhi fasted so long that his frame was rather frail And when he'd eat the strangest foods his breath was often stale He walked barefoot so hardened bottoms were his diagnosis: Super-calloused-fragile-mystic-hexed-by-halitosis!
My life's goal was to be in a Barber shop group after seeing Music Man. Never made it but still so cool to listen too. It is a solid trained coordinated sound. Thanks

@@davidolinger3948 i just spent hours watching videos of their performances oh my god
YES
Holy shit as a long-time fan of both the Newfangled Four and George Collier I greatly approve
@@davidolinger3948 They have a new baritone. Still singing.
That baritone verse hit so close to home I think I need therapy.
Every time I listen to pieces I sang years ago, I have a small crisis wondering what hellish arrangement I've stumbled upon before remembering what part I sang.
Remembering barbershop baritone parts makes me question why i enjoyed singing the one part that's hard to listen to or even hear.
I don’t speak choir nerd. What’s the time clip
@@ACasualTrevor 2:05
As my choir teacher told me when I signed up: “Baritone always gets the shaft.”
If I only knew.
Actively telling the judges they blew it. It's a bold strategy, Cotton, lets see how it works out for 'em.
i believe they took 11th this year.
It’s part of their attitude, there’s always at least one comedy quartet to take some shots at the judges and these guys loved being the ones
They get just high enough to show their bit was appreciated, but not high enough that they receive any palpable reward.
@@oscargill423 they might not be the most technically accurate but I would say they’re the some of the best showmen.
Is that a Dodgeball reference?
The Newfangled Four are the very definition of “a hoot”
I just got over the fact that Ryan left the newfangled four and you decide that now is a good time to transcribe Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? I'm sending you my therapist's bill for the next few weeks, alright?
WAIT WHAT RYAN LEFT NOOOO
They’ve got a new baritone 😃
@@TeapotBeepot He left in 2020, which was originally supposed to be the end of NF4, but they now have a new baritone
@@alistairwall5470 they did a couple of covers of video game songs which are great.
Aw nooo :(

The analysts at Disney are gonna be so confused with why Mary Poppins viewership increased this week . . .
This channel is so underrated. You're a gift to the human race my dude.
He honors the Collier Surname
I wouldn't call a channel with 350k subscribers underrated... but this one definitely is.
@@1AmGroot But everything he does should be trending 24/7!!!
They're not really regarded for their overwhelming skill in comparison to some other quartets but the Barbershop world will never be the same after them, a shame they're kind of disbanded
They're coming back! They have a new baritone to take Ryan's place.
@@phoebegilliland8897 Oh really?? It won't be the same but I absolutely cant wait
@@andrec.fennell9255 same here! It'll be different, but the new baritone seems to be fitting in well. Maybe this year they'll be fifteen people's favorite thing 😉.
@@phoebegilliland8897 Right! And their introduction vid on their youtube makes me believe that they'll fit in just fine ;)
@@avacadoufo6964 I thought so, too :)
1:46 - "walk across the stage with a deeply unsettling smile" just amazing!
"Take a long walk... just like that joke"
The random …. TOE SIS got me sounded like a donkey
My favorite part is that at 1:46 you can hear someone in the audience say “oh god” before the pun was even finished
Hahaha man I would have just sent this to you so you didn't have to transcribe!
Ew, gross.
There's no fun in that!
But then there won't be "walk across the stage with deeply unsettling smile"
@@NoxCaelis oh you sure about that???
😱
My dad would have LOVED this. Being a classically trained baritone himself (whom always tried bass for some reason) and loved singing in quartets, this was his element. Rest in peace daddy.
“Baritones don’t want to be baritones, they either try to be a bass or just deal with it.”
-A baritone who tries to be a bass
I went to school with Jackson (the lead I believe), he was a trumpet player back then. Super nice, multitalented guy. Great job guys, you all sound fantastic!
I’m in high school and I can’t play trumpet and sing tenor
Thats cool
Woahhh
The clap at 3:43 is one of the most satisfying sounds I've ever heard
what's really impressive is how they maintained 4 part harmony when the guy on the left started going sharp at the end - you can hear the offset for just a moment before they all match him perfectly all the way to the end
timestamp?
@@silver63803:43 roughly you can hear them shift
"nope too late you blew it"
Damn the judges probably only got in like 3 words in 😂
The Newfangled Four are a national treasure
I remember finding this in like 2018, sent me down the quartet rabbit hole. Truly amazing how talented and hilarious some of these performances are.
Yep same here
69,000 views......nice.....
the most newfangled comment
when do you guys just become the fangled four
Never expected to see the Newfangled Four on this channel. Great transcription as always! :)

This is an instant classic!!
…Hey, wait a second.
Oh if George broke down an Instant Classic song I would subscribe immediately...
wink, wink, George
*Walks across the stage with a deeply unsettling smile *
Jake's little march all by himself kills me every time.
I got to work with these guys at harmony explosion camp once! They’re fun
I was extremely lucky to hear them perform this live, IN MY HIGHSCHOOL!!! They were helping lead a barbershop camp in my hometown one summer :)
2:05 the modulation at the baritone's melody, and all that part is such a good work.
I was lucky enough to see these guys live and meet them after the show. The bass (Jake) was super nice, and overall it was a great treat to see them perform.
I went to high school with Jake - can confirm, very kind and funny dude. Stoked to see he’s still out there doing his thing!!
It’s a four minute video and I’ve been watching for half and hour…
I've known about these guys for years and it's so cool to see you transcribing them. I used to take vocal lessons from Ryan (the baritone), and got to see them in person. It sucks that Ryan left
i am a year late but did you happen to know ryan’s birthday my friend asked me I’m still trying to find out
@@emilyjajaiajs9 sorry, i never learned when his birthday was
As a George Collier fan, a barbershop fan, and a Newfangled four fan. Simply yes is all I have to say to this video
1:12 The emotions on this man's face is amazing
HELLYEA I LOVE THE NEWFANGLED FOUR
may i suggest making a video about their All Star cover?
Somebody once told me to do this
The newfangled four are some of the most influential quartets to barbershop. Awesome to see you posting barbershop content!
It's amazing how creative people can be and what they use that creativity for.
the "nothing else rhymes with istic" joke at 03:20 is so underrated lmfao
The bass' mom was my homeroom teacher in middle school! She liked to show us the yearly barbershop competitions but I had to go to high school and covid hit before they were finally crowned as number one and the ceremony had to be held virtually which sucks :(
Ah yes, Barber Shop Dubstep, my favorite genre.
Hey, I know these guys! Absolutely brilliant barbershop quartett
Yes. Now check out their Bananaphone from the 2019 Intl contest
Such a good chart istg
Heck yeah, the NF4!!! Love their singing!
Can't believe you finally went down the barbershop rabbit hole.
The Newfangled Four is truly an amazing group. Found these guys in 2019 I’m pretty sure and I forgot about them in time and it’s so good to see these guys again
YES I'm so happy you did a vid on the newfangled four!! if anyone wants to watch more of their performances, Barbershop Harmony Society's channel here on youtube has a bunch of their contest performances :)
Oh lord I remember watching this video an unhealthy number of times years ago
Every since I found this I can’t resist to come back every time it’s in my recommended
This is one of my all-time favorite groups! They definitely deserve the limelight 👏
Never in a million years did I expect the newfangled four in these
Next time I do Jekyll and Hyde or Sweeney Todd, "Walk across the stage with a deeply unsettling smile" is definitely going in the score somewhere 👌🤘
I've never heard of these guys but the performance was fantastic! I hope the youtube algorithm blesses them.
You need to see their version of Bananaphone. It's fantastic.
Newfangled Four is my favourite barbershop group ever, so this is great to see on here! I saw them perform this live at a concert in Sydney back in 2019 and it's incredible every single time you hear it!
Yes finally a New Fangled Four video!!! Outstanding job as always!
My favorite part of this video
GET READY FAM HERE COMES THE DROP
Omg, you did the Newfangled Four! I've listened to them for a while, and I never expected to see them transcribed on your channel!
I always love how they roast the judges.
This is channel is a blessing to music lovers
I don't know how we got here but we did. We really did. Thanks for this George!
NEWFANGLED FOUR! I’m so happy to see them here, thank you so much!
I knew a NFF transcription was due at some point. Thank you so much
Yo, I was waiting for you to transcribe this! The Newfangled Four are awesome, and I'm glad to see you found them!
Still cant get over "Superpower Fergalicious: definition-"
"- NO JOSEPH"
Thanks for introducing me to these lovely folks! Been bing listening to their song this past month xD best quartet ever!
The newfangled four are basically my favorite barbershop quartet for their creativity and being so funny 😂
The harmonizing was way out of this world!
Hell yeah, I love these guys! Perfect combination of humor, good composition, and fantastic singing.
A few years ago I found barbershop quartet youtube and fell down the rabbit hole, so cool that you posted this
as the only bass in my orchestra, that baritone verse hit home
I've watched this about 30 times now and idk why i love it so much
Been waiting for the Newfangled boys to show up here :)
Yay. I love you and the newfangled four so much. Thank you for this video
I was expecting a cover of a song I didn't hate from a movie I definitely hated... and got a whole-ass comedy performance. Beautiful.
FERGALICIOUS DEFINITION:
make them boys go Loco
the way the pitch gets slightly sharper when the song ends might be unintentional, but its so dang cool.
Haha I love they dropped in there "information superhighway."
aw man, i've been wanting parts for these guys for a long time
i am so glad this got here
That tag on this one is soo insanely good
I love the energy of it
All your videos are fun. This channel is great RUclips content. Thanks for all your work!
As a Muse fan I loved the "Supermassiveblackholistic" at 2:16.
Joey's verse never ceases to make me laugh hard I tell you and the drop though.
What do you mean? I know nothing about barbershop...or music theory. 😬

We need more barbershop transcriptions!! They must be a lot of work but this is top notch
YOOOO finally!!! ive followed NF4 for about a year now and I'm so excited to see this! (tbh someone was gonna do it anyways)
Cool that they shouted out Anthony Bartholomew in the song. Didn't realize he was the arranger of the piece lol
I’m so happy to see these guys transcripts. I love the Newfangled Four
Wow, Thanks George. ive just gone down a New Fangled Four rabbit hole because of this video. 😂
I love those guys and getting to perform with and hang out with was awesome
Barbershop is my secret guilty pleasure.
My life's goal was to be in a Barber shop group after seeing Music Man. Never made it but still so cool to listen too. It is a solid trained coordinated sound. Thanks
