Worst Ivy League A Capella Tournament, Day Two: Enter Brown
Welcome to Day Two! Day One featured two landslides, with #1, Penn’s Chord on Blues, trouncing #8, Harvard’s Fallen Angels by like 70 percent. Dartmouth’s Cords (#4) also steamrolled the competition and beat Columbia’s Nonsequitur (#5) by like 70 percent too. Thanks for playing, Harvard and Columbia!
But let us celebrate not! We must trudge forth with today’s matches, however aurally painful that becomes. One of today’s contestants will introduce two thus-far overlooked a cappella tropes: white rapping and beatboxing. LOTS of both.
In our #2 versus #7 seeds matchup, respectively, we bring you the Brown Jabberwock’s epic rendition of Talib Kweli’s “Get By” (strongly urge you to watch it all!) against the Princeton Roaring 20 performing that Third Eye Blind song.

Still with us? The last opening round match-up squares the #3 seed, Cornell’s famous Absolute A Cappella singing Oasis’ “Wonderwall,” against the #6 seed, Yale’s Living Water performing some Jesusy song.

Voting will go through 5:00 tomorrow (Wednesday), and then we will have the semifinals around 6:00. At least tomorrow you won’t have to watch any new videos, right?
