Humdingers Barbershop Quartet Sing Unique Medley Of Disney Songs
Calling all lovers of Disney music! You’ll want to listen to the Humdingers Barbershop Quartet as they sing a unique medley of beloved Disney songs. These harmonizers Performed live during the Saturday Night Spectacular for the 2018 Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention.
The dapper gents were dressed up in traditional looking barbershopper costumes, complete with colorful vests and boater hats right down to the white spats over their shoes. Most notably seen, and most non-traditional for this style of music, are the unique looking instruments they each were utilizing during the performance. Each member of the quartet held one in each hand and the sound would ring out as they shook them much like a handbell! Of course, we had to know what these mysterious looking instruments were! They are called “Deagan Organ Chimes” and look similar to cut-down organ pipes mounted on a board of wood. The sound is produced when the instrument player shakes the chime. It reminded us a little bit of the sound of a steel drum or a marimba (similar to a xylophone). Those most familiar with barbershop quartet competitions will know instruments other than voices are not traditionally used, so this added a fun and unique experience to their performance.
The playful medley of popular Disney tunes had a very recognizable line up. Songs featured included everything from “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” and “Whistle While You Work” to “It’s a Small World” and the Mickey Mouse Club theme song. Some comical choreography coupled with a little tap number round out this creatively performed toe tapping routine. Thanks to these catchy classics, which of these Disney tunes will get stuck in your head today?
