Chords and Roaring 20’s clearly are the two best here. However, while Roaring 20’s may have better technical singing, they really kind of butcher the song in my opinion with their oddly-timed doo’s. The Chords may have a couple of cracks, but the musical quality is still pretty good, and the dancing I think produces a more entertaining performance overall. PLus come on, how could you say no to those all of those hip thrusts and bye bye byes!? Clearly has more heart, and clearly should win.

p.s. you should try to make your site not suck. i only clicked “post comment” once. You’re like those dicks at the bank who try to get your payment to get deducted twice and then blame you for clicking too many times. Douches. Also, if this all stems from not getting laid enough, consider singing an a cappella solo. Worked for me. Maybe that’s where all this comes from…

Holy crap. First of all, I acknowledge bad a cappella’s existence, but you can’t go randomly find one youtube video and say that it represents all of Princeton a cappella or the Roaring 20. Not only are there, say, at least 5 or 6 much worse groups at Princeton, but if you looked at any of the other Roaring 20 videos posted on YouTube (none of which are the best, but nonetheless…), you would be blinded by the greatness that is the Princeton Roaring 20. But good job finding one video that isn’t perfect (though, it’s really not half bad either). Lastly, it’s not your fault, your Dad loves you deep down, and your mom left for her own personal reasons that had nothing to do with your bed wetting.

Can someone explain to me why the hell you have enough time and little enough dignity to think about this much a cappella? START A CHARITY! VOLUNTEER! KNIT A GODDAMN SWEATER!! Jesus, you guys are ridiculous.

@Cornell 010: The song is actually by Third Eye Blind, and about half of it is actually spoke-sung (or “rapped”, I suppose) on the original. That said, the soloist’s voice was all wrong for the song, they rushed the syncopations like it was going out of style, and utterly ignored certain key harmony parts that make the song so good.

But they still weren’t as bad as Absolute Acapella. Videos like that just make me want to bust a cap…ella?
Sorry. It’s late and I couldn’t help it.

Its just plain cruel to make a fatty sing in a group called Cordon Bleu.

as much as i hate giving princeton props, their group is the least bad of the remaining choices. i mean the soloist is absolutely terrible, but the background singers give us a decent performance, and the song choice is decent.

but yea, the penn group is total crap.
