OMG. You guys rock. I love, love, love it!!!!
I hope you are giving the family any income from this video
@musicalthinker Are you the dad or mum? Lol
If only they hadn't started to say the f word, as my children, and my family will obviously fill in the gap, and I have decided not to share anything at all with any language in it. I wouldn't care, the rest of it was fab.
Where's the link to the original?
I can't even imagine my family being this coordinated.
My kids won't get off RUclips or Roblox long enough to do something like this
Antha Perkins St. Paddy’s, we tried doing family stuff. Everybody starts arguing & my Aunt announces she’s going to bed & don’t drink her booze.
@@JulsLittleBeirutAnarchy HA HA HA HA!!!!!! That in itself would be a great video!!!!-
Hahaha, it would probably be the same with mine!
Mines either, we are at the why does your face look like that faze....
This. This is what happens when you let theatre kids have sons and daughters.
HAHAHA
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL 😂
😂😂😂😂
Isn’t it awesome???🥰
True!!! Lol
"Do I change my underwear?" is a worldwide shared dilemma.
The universal answer is a resounding YES LOL
It's not a dilemma lol
True..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I heard that the first time I literally died of laughter
"...thy can't work Skype, we're broken hearted." Too funny, too real.
"Have you seen my brother's hair"
Killed me XD
potatolised I thought his brother was gonna kill him for that, hahaha!!!
potatolised then he followed it up with underwear, truly a masterpiece 🤣
😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@cristyjaller same here!!!
@@yasminsparks1012 Yessss! It fits nicely XD
People now know what spending quality time together really is.
Too bad it took a virus to teach us that.
@iemand die raar is People now know what spending quality time together really is
It's been there all along "Quality Time" A lot chose to ignore it
If i may add another thought. Now people know what spending quality time itogether really is.
@@z11542 great input 😂
The von TRAPPED family singers.
Clever girl
Ahahaha you win the internet 😂😂😂
this is such an underrated comment
AWESOME comment!
April King I actually shouted "Ha!" when I read this! (I'm a huge SOMusic fan, can you tell? hee hee) Such a great line. :)
I've watched this over and over during the pandemic and I can't thank this family enough for the pleasure and enjoyment they have provided. Also stunned by so much talent in one family.
The young boy has a really nice and deep, rich voice.
TrueBlue AoV it’s gorgeous! I’m in a choir and it’s hard to get men with that deep and strong a voice. We only have one.
The kids are all awesome in their particular age groups. The older girl's head voice is angelic. But the guys do steal the show.
@@begformeowcy I know! I used to do choir in school and I'm a girl so I envy their deep voices.
@@coffeync yes! They're all amazing
NBA YoungBoy doe
This family just won the internet
Josh ua the kid in Watford shirt goes my school he’s in my form he’s called Tomas Marsh lmao
Josh ua
Josh ua sorry
@@mintyluvsyou9088 Don't worry. His name is all over the news. 😊
I’m still here 10 months of lockdown later
I think i'll only get married if guaranteed a family like this in the future
Your family will be what you make it.
Lol
How did this not go viral 2 years ago? I’m just seeing it today but it’s tremendous! Well done family!! 👏👏👏
it did
Imagine historians coming across this in a couple hundred years
Thats exactly what they said in sSpanish flu pandemic lockdown 100 plus one years ago...
I was just thinking that!!!!
Are Voyager 1 or 2 accepting updates to those fancy vinyls they’re shlepping across space?
Funny! Ben is a history professor I think...
@@michaeld3303 I lost a great grandmother in the Spanish Flu Pandemic in Philadelphia 1919 at age 58..
The little one singing “One more selfie of me glaring...Not long till the data’s blown” ...hilarious
Cruising Mimi seriously though my data is costing me more than food and wine - and the wine budget is blown to pieces.
PoppyCorn144 that’s what I’m talking about...where the bar bill ends, the Home drinking begins...jk!
Cruising Mimi They won't share with me! Adorable
And they won’t let her share🤣
@@PoppyCorn144 do you not have broadband?
Well done mom and dad! What a lovely family... and BRAVO for getting a teenaged boy to sing with his family on video!
See you in 10 years when, google algorithm recommends this again😅😂
Ten months apparently feb 5h 2021
@@kirksta123 that’s because they just went viral with a new song
This is a musically blessed family. They all pulled off a technically hard song beautifuly!
It was EPIC...
Heather Blake well said
That was my first thought!
Right?! More dislikes than likes = HATERS 😂
@@pisceanqueen1 I`m not sure you got it right??? ...221,000 likes is significantly more than 2700 did you read it wrong??
I agree though there are at least 2700 jackasses that have watched the video...
“Tomorrow we’ll discover what TESCO ONLINE has in store.”
A massive round of applause please to this family.
John olaybar Tesco Online had totally gone bonkers here in Malaysia
@Brenda It’s a grocery store in the UK :)
It’s an online grocery company where you buy online and they will deliver fresh produce to your front doors.
@Brenda Schultheis
It's a huge supermarket chain...They have stores everywhere, and they also do online shopping.....So what the family are singing is, "How are we doing our shopping tomorrow?"
COVID-19: The Musical
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
It actually exists... Google it.
okay can we adress how easily the kids could harmonize? this is fantastic!
The kid in the football shirts voice though, damn son.
Thats what I'm saying!
His voice is bigger than mine and I’m 33! 😂
Yeah... ive sung casually all my life, but with no training or anything, and i was blown away by him.
I was shocked by his voice and I’m just cackling all the way through
Sandpitturtle his voice is great! Definitely should consider vocal training, he’s got the raw talent.
“Our grandparents are miles away. They can’t work Skype, we’re broken-hearted” 🤣👏
I am glad Dad took a drink at the right time .
metso grand Yes that was genius 😆
This gets to my heart, parents are in other country, but still can heard their voices 😕
I laughed out loud at that line.
Linda Gnat-Mullin It reminded me of my dad when I explained to him we could do video calls on WhatsApp. He asked “What’s the point in that?” I said “We can see each other” He said “But you’d only see my ear?” 🤣
How anyone could give this a “thumbs down” is beyond me. These must be very unhappy and jealous people.
Perhaps some of those people suspect that The Guardian just stole the family's video as there is no link that sources to the original. I am now wary too that The Guardian might have stolen it as they still didn't respond to others complaining about this..
Maybe because it's nauseating?
MOST OF THE WORLD IS NOT MADE UP OF BRITISH HOMOSEXUALS. A REAL WONDER THIS VIDEO GOT ANY THUMBS UPS AT ALL.
Maybe some of us see "a vaccine for every man" as a problem, a theft of our autonomy and human rights. Can't you see that? Do you believe everything you're told- I don't think so because chances are you are another amazing individual doing their best to engage honestly with our world while maintaining an awareness off the magic show and the magicians working to manipulate our perspective and for what? more money but more importantly more control. I love You
@@drServitis Look at your language. And you call yourself better than other people? Loving music and singing indicates different sexual orientation? Be a better person.
The father is honestly 100% a real Broadway singer like bro he sound like he’s in it
I'm impressed they had five mics just lying around their house!
Kelly and Julie Elander that was my observation as well.
They seem to be a family with music and performing in their life.
@@marcelociarro8527 That was rude and unnecessary
@@marcelociarro8527 How is you saying "the mom needs to take lessons she sounds like a dog" supposed to be interpreted as a joke? It's blatantly mean and insensitive. If you just admit you were wrong then I will delete my reply- because right now you are just saying you were joking because you realized that people were going to get offended by what you said. Honestly I think you should be apologizing, not deleting your comments to hide the evidence.
don't disregard Gerard gotem
So impressed with how the parents got their kids to participate like this...
Stephanie Soprano it’s not like the kids got better things to do...
Uni Corn they have their choices :)
@Cole Czecho :O
@Cole Czecho impossible
*or*
The mother looks like Molly Weasley
I KNEW I recognised her... sort of
Thank you
omg trueee
Thank u I was thinking where I have seen her from
Hehehe
Reaumur G THANK YOU!!!! POTTERHEADS UNITE
I swear, this is what the Potter family gets up to when Ron comes over and Hermione's not looking.
😆😆😆😆😆
why no replies? This is awesome!
This is a hard song to sing, harder to sing with overlapping lyric and tune. To do this in a crowded living room is a real accomplishment. I hope they'll record it in better circumstances and release as a charity record.
N L Wilson Are you secretly Niall Wilson the olympic gymnast? 😂
I don't think so. In better circumstances the last thing anyone is going to want to do is reminisce about this ducking nightmare
@Humble Bugg
True but people aren’t going to forget. We are in a future historical event right now
@@humblebugg5270 people will remember how everyone dealt with this situation and ,in this cas it is a beautiful way to deal with it. Singing and creating fun moments in family.
@Who let the virus out? Woof woof woofhan actually they’re not. They cross most people’s singing ranges and/or have people coming in loud from a cold start, and thus are difficult to perform.
I applaud the parents for instilling music in their lives.
Absolutely this.
And music of this quality, too. (That is not even remotely sarcastic, Les mis always has been and always will be the greatest musical out there IMO)
Now that's how home school music theater class should be done! Brava.
Yes Ms. Logan indeed!
If I end up being a history teacher I’ll show all my students this video
Yep. Collect all sorts of micro-historic documents. Be sure to download and preserve the evidence. Wherever this may lead, looking back will be intetesting. Worthwhile perspective to be looking Forward to looking back at this. Very liberating.
the kids in the future must be so lucky they got these interesting events in history lesson
Imagination is cool, I agree with your name and feel compelled to send you this encouragement. Teaching is an honour. I hope you will take it on. Just don’t let anyone ever steer you away from believing in the value of your own unique abilities to inspire those entrusted to your care. May joy lead the way.
This is one of the loveliest-creative things I’ve seen in a long time. You all “ROCK”!!! Thank you for the uplift. This is what family is all about.
How lovely that they have such a close family that everyone wants to participate!
Actually, they were fighting like hell leading up to this. Dad bribed the kids with pizza.
They were for sure bribed or threatened...or both
I share your opinion, but must claim that we can‘t know if there aren‘t more
Ikr I wish my family was like this 😢
Can't guarantee there aren't another 3 kids sulking somewhere
Imagine being the neighbor to this family, while they practiced
Its better than living next door to a bagpipes teacher!
They might have called the cops after this.
JK
@@JenniB123 lmaoo
I'd take that than all the screaming and fighting happening across the street every day for hours on end...
That's what i was thinking
This is brilliant! Not only have they got fantastic voices but the lyrics are hysterical! Nice to be able to laugh🤣
I clapped at the end. Alone. Fanstastic.
Everyone here praising the boy's voice and I'm right here admiring the father's. What a wholesome family.
And I'm here to celebrate the mother, who I am certain is the mastermind of it all :-D
Hannah Mahfuzah he sounds like javert in the movie 😂❤️
@@tanayatargaryen7044 Inspector Javert?
I'm noticing that this lockdown has brought out a lot of creativity in folks...This virus is creating a lot of virals!
D.J. Oops. HAAHHA yes, him 😂😂
I can't belive how they all controlled their laughter. If I was there I'd die laughing n not let anyone sing a single note.
Same here 😂😂😂
After practicing it a bajillion times I'm sure they were over it 😆
I laughed and cried so hard. What a great way to start the morning of my 66th birthday (potentially the strangest birthday of my life thanks to covid). I was blown away by this family's creativity and their joy in collaboration! DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? IT IS THE MUSIC OF A PEOPLE WHO WILL THRIVE WHILE HONORING SOCIAL DISTANCING AND LOCKDOWN DURING THE PANDEMIC!
I wholeheartedly agree
THEY'RE ALL SO TALENTED!!!
The whole family is incredibly talented but the children steal the show, especially the youngest. Thank you. 🇦🇺
THE HARMONIZING OF THE BROTHER AND SISTER,, Absolutely OBSESSED.
THIS IS LITERALLY THE MUSICAL AND LESS GINGER VERSION OF THE WEASLEYS
Anony Mouse too many daughters
Hahaha!!!
Hahahha jaaaaa
Anony Mouse was my pseudonym when I wrote poetry for class in middle school.
Give or take a few kids
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. I hope this kind of closeness, creativity and fun is part of your family forever.
I first heard this back in April, which seems an eternity ago. The family bonding subtext is heartwarming and genuine. This performance never gets old.
This is the best thing to come out of the coronavirus.
Relatable, this is what happen when you stay at quarantine for decades
Tbh I'm loosing it
The best thing would be a cure or for people to stay in house like this family but choose to go to shops for a can or coke and snickers bar
This and the swans in Venice and the goats in London
RIGHT???
I’m filled with an unexplainable jealousy that I am not a part of this family
Me too. They're amazing!
Me too
Though my 8 year old son will totally sing queen songs with me so I guess there’s that.
Same omg😭
Me too. Greatest musical family ever.
Here is the translation: Thank you very much for this video! What a beautiful family union! I am French, and thanks to this video I was able to enrich my vocabulary in English! Thank you! Magdeleine 14 years
Loved it! This family is darling. The lyrics were fabulous, the singing was fabulous. You all must make more!
This is probably the best song about corona life I have heard so far. It was hilarious and still heart warming. Bravo to the whole family! You really did a great job.
The “Von Trapped” family! Bravo! 👏
Matilde Wosnjuk Underrated comment
Matilde Wosnjuk so clever! Bravo you!
Hahaha! Hilarious comment!!
Everyone go home. She just won the internet.
Matilde Wosnjuk: haha...best comment ever!
Omg ! This was so emotional,and brilliant ,and fantastic, ALL IN ONE GO ! The littlest girl has a lovely voice but they were ALL brilliant! WELL DONE TO YOUR LOVELY FAMILY !
WHAT A VERY SPECIAL THING TO DO DURING LOCKDOWN HAVING A FAMILY SING SONG !!! I JUST LOVED IT !
This made me smile at the start of the pandemic in NYC, and I'm back again. My second vax coming in two days. Blessings to you and hope all is well! And thank you!!
I’ve never wanted to be an adopted auntie more than this moment.
Adopted auntie? that's a new one, I like it 😂😂. I can just picture the children running back from school with excitement to meet their new adopted auntie 😂
Miss T xDDDDDDDD
ME TOO.
Stupid question but what is an adopted auntie?
You're on😁
This is the most brilliant use of quarantine time ever. What a fantastic family!
Staggeringly brilliant! Made me weep, made me cry... Just what we needed.... Thank you, Kent family!
Watching this in 2022 and still so grateful to this family for the cheer we all needed.
My family would be fighting with each other about things that happened 10 years ago before the completion of the first verse.
My family can't even be in the same room as each other Branden.. This is a family, and they are bloody fantastic!! 😃
"wtf you keep stealing my line?! F! Is this bc I ate your ice cream summer 5 years ago? I knew it mf!"
Lol
Some of the kids aren't even that old...
“That’ why your husband left you, Susan” I can hear it now
The boynin the foot ball jersey is going to be a tough lad.
I can imagine him singing in bars for his teams.
@Arthur Jeans Hunt don't go around posting what school you go to, especially when the other family didn't consent.
@Arthur Jeans Hunt yeah you should edit that part out of your comment
He has to be, he's a Watford fan.
This is the most BRILLIANT thing I’ve ever seen! I keep watching over and over. Les Mis is my all time favorite show and what you all did as a family to make this into, not only a comedic representation of the times, but how well you masterminded the musical elements is astounding. You are obviously a VERY talented family with a great sense of humor and societal recognition. Bravo in every sense of the word!
I had already appointed the winner in One Day More flash mobs, especially on weddings, and that one contained opera singers! But I have to backtrack, this is, without any hesitation, the NEW winner! Hilarious, witty, humours, smart, dedicated parents and children! Wow! And wow again!
They were all very much in tune. Especially the older daughter. She may have a musical career ahead of her!
If my kids and husband aren’t like this, I’ll be disappointed 😭😭😭
Joesphine they don’t come out of the womb like this, it’s all about team work
But the real question is, Josephine, are you like this?
Well, be the right kind of woman, pick the right kind of man, you'll have the right kind of children, promise!
I don’t want it
@@madisonberry471 that's ok, I don't want kids either.
Every single one of you is brilliant. Thank you for the joy!
10 months later. Still watching it. Still loving it. Thanks for the smiles this has brought!!
I laughed so much I nearly choked. Everyone is so talented, the whole thing is so clever! Lyrics and timing absolutely perfect - a standing ovation from this corner of Sydney!
Standing ovation from the middle of Illinois too!
I'm cheering from the UK!!
I laughed so hard when the dad pulled out a bottle of alcohol. That’s when I got into it
this deserves to go more viral than those pathetic tik tok dramas
I agree
true, but like it is. it is viral. it’s literally in the title.
*OH Yeeeeesssss!*
This is exactly TikTok quality... I actually feel sorry that they didn't post on TikTok
10 months later - and I have visited it every little bit over those months...the situation still holds...
Fun fact: they had so much time they all learned to sing too well
🤣
"Do I change my underwear?" Same here..same.
Everyday mate, everyday, please!
sheilaunderscoremay ah you should really 😀
Yes everytime you shower, so once a week
Do we really need to put it tho ?
Yep...especially when you live alone...!
Aside from the musical genius, we are living parallel lives. Thanks from Canada for sharing your humour and creativity!😄
I am so loving this clip! I've watched it several times and continue to be in awe of this family and their performance! Great job guys! Thx for making me smile and enjoy it EVERY time!
"watch our daddy drink." LOL that killed me.
I really hope the Guardian are paying a large percentage of the RUclips ad revenue to this family..
Steve Ledger 🤫
"I really hope the Guardian are paying the FULL percentage of the RUclips ad revenue to this family.." There, I fixed it for you. They fully deserve it!!!
Mihaela Gavril yup that's more appropriate. Oh it should be that way though 😂
Yyyyyeeeeeesssssss...........❤💕💞
Watched this a month ago. Came upon it again today and watched twice. Laughed out loud again and again.. Family From Kent, I love you and your amazing voices! Clearly you love each other. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is fabulous! What a great spirit you all add for us locked up at home alone.
Is no one going to speak about how perfect the little girl's voice is ?? The one next to the dad!
phillippe.m • 40 years ago and I thought the same thing ! She has a lot of potential 😁🤗
she’s like six and doing vibrato. that’s impressive
An incredible little singer.....probably perfect pitch!
This is magnificent-such a talented family to tackle such a complicated piece. Delightful that they each had special parts and that all were so humorous-I was literally laughing out loud and applauding all the way through. Bravo!
And the kids sing in harmony!
And they must have had a lot of fun doing the lyrics for this song!
I have watched this so many times and still love it. I have not only watched the children get taller, but their voices have also improved so wonderfully. I love it so much!!
How fun! How could 3.2K people give this a thumbs down? People are horrible. That's one talented, fun family!!! Nicely done.
I think after corona we are going to discover a lot of undiscoverable talents.
Because they only show themself in critical times
*during corona
If this lock down goes on long enough soon stealing will be a talent.
Unlike the horrid celebrity Imagine; this family is pure gold.
exactly. I don't give a rip what a celebrity is doing to pass the time. As far as I'm concerned, all celebrities should be getting PPE's and doing something constructive.
The best thing to come out of the corona crisis.
Keeping straight faces all along ..so professional .wow they deserve this
Yes!! These guys are so talented and actually understand the situation. Omg I couldn't stop laughing the minute she said that day 6 in quarantine got her feeling philosophical. Donate some of your wealth instead of displaying just how out of touch you are.
Unlike the horrid celebrity imagine cover everyone involved can actually sing.
I just wanted to wanted to say that you made my day and week! I was in a les mis mood and was looking up some recreations and this is EXACTLY the PERFECTION I was looking for. You guys are AMAZING!!!!!! I love this song and you all are so creative and such great singers!! New fave video right here!
How have I not seen this before now??? EXCELLENT!
My mom showed me this on FaceBook and just singing this in the first place is hard, but the harmonizing and overlapping lyrics are just mind blowing
Absolutely brilliant. Puts a smile on our faces at this dark time.
OK boomer
Liamo most incorrect use of “ok boomer” ever! (Replying OK boomer to my criticism would be a CORRECT use of the phrase!)
@@jordanjay5901 OK boomer
The first time I was making a joke because it obviously wasn't the right place to say OK boomer
What a talented family ! Congrats for making and working together. Love the karaoke lines. I took a lot of rehearsals and work but it's wonderfully done. Thanks a million ! Be safe, stay home and sing .. be well .. We'll survive with your songs ! Hugs
Thank you for sharing. A joy to watch. May YOUR FAMILY remember these happy days in trying times forever 😍😍😍
Coronavirus!: The Musical
With the Von Marsh Family Singers...
Great!

I like when dad kneels down to sing together with the little sister.
Tiny quarantine Eponine ftw!
A masterly performance. Total enjoyment. Worth watching over and over again. Well done to this family. It goes to show the resilience of the family even in the midst of a great social upheaval such as a pandemic.
Thank you from Dublin, CA, you made me smile!
Why do I feel like they’re the real life Weasleys 🤣
The mother kind of reminded me of Molly for some reason, maybe that's just me
WHY THAT’S EXACTLY MY THOUGHT!
What
3 more kids and it would be accurate
ZL Lyrics OMG YEESSSSSS LOLL
I listen to others saying they’re bored during lockdown self-isolation. At least this family knows how to make it fun and get creative.
BRAVO!!!! Encore! Encore! That was So Fun. I Love Les Misérables, and the words in this rendition is hysterical! I Loved this Marsh Family 😊
Too much fun! This was great!
Me: Okay time to head to bed
*Upstairs neighbors starts a musical*
XD I would sing along though ahahahaha
Are they your neighbors? Hahaha😍😍🙏
I can’t be the only one thinking that they remind me of the Weasley
Hell yeah

Others have commented agreeing with your statement.
Ikrrrr 😂😂

Shut up Malfoy 😀
Thank you very much for sharing , Marsh Family , that was absolutely brilliant !!
