Their clothes could use some work, I'm sure there is some kind of reason for it, but otherwise - amazing talent.

LOL I just researched them a bit... it's a group from Dartmouth University called the Dartmouth Aires... I guess that was some sort of variety show they were doing.

From their website:

http://www.dartmouth.edu/~aires/index.php
Hi! You've reached the home page of the Dartmouth Aires, Dartmouth College's oldest a cappella group and one of the nation's premiere performing ensembles. We have been singing live, producing albums, and touring the country since our founding in 1946. Our vast repertoire features a mix of contemporary favorites, traditional Dartmouth tunes, sketch comedy, and the occasional piece of opera, guaranteed to please audiences of all ages.

Their current repetoire includes Beatles, BeeGees, Gnarls Barkley, Bowie, Simple Minds... Wow, what a mixed bag!

I wore leg warmers in the 80's, over jeans, not in the winter. Not too mention my big Texas hair!! 8)

You just made me think of something hilarious. I work in a shop full of men. We are computer techs for a school board, so we are expected to dress half decently, but we do get dirty on the job sometimes (laying cable etc.) so some guys dress down. One time at a staff meeting the boss was trying to get us to smarten up and he said, "If it's good enough for the golf course, it's good enough for here."

When we left the room, my one coworker grumbled, "Fine. Tomorrow I'm wearing plaid knickers, argyle socks, two-toned shoes, a beanie with a pom pom and suspenders."

I never thought I'd stop laughing at that one!!! LOL

Interesting, I didn't wear a lot of heels - my high school boyfriend was near my height, so I wore a lot of flats. I did see a lot of heels. ;)

Before I became a part-time gym rat, my big hair was wider than my shoulders. Shockingly, I was still "waiting for the right girl to come around" in 1993, at age 23, when the law of averages won out and poor Lauren Bluestone had a beer too many and made the worst (and shortest) mistake of her life.

LOL nice analogy. Yeah, he had some flat moments, but on the whole I thought the whole performance was awesome. It's a hard song to sing. That crack at the end was a wee bit hard on the ears. I still loved it though. I love that a song like that has seeped into the popular culture to that level.

I think that was quite enough out of this group. :roll: :lol:


I thought that first clip of Separate Ways was pretty good though.

HAHAHA I would be careful how you throw that word around in a classic rock forum, mister! LOL! Those wacked out Swedes hardly qualify! LOL

If you liked that acapella, here's another one from a different troupe. I don't think it's as good. It's "Don't Stop Believin'"

If it isn't Steve Perry I don't want to hear it. Total disgrace. No one should be allowed to sing that song but "The Voice".
