[Intro] [four-part vocal harmony, heavy reverb] Ooh, barbershop quartet [glitchy vocal stutter, beatboxing enters] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da [Verse 1] [clean vocal harmony] We've practiced every single day Every single day, that's right Our harmonies are here to stay Yeah, we're performing here tonight With our tenor lead, that's me [tenor solo] And my bass notes low and free [bass solo] Soprano high notes crystal clear [lead solo] Baritone filling middle here [baritone solo] Close intervals and perfect pitch Barbershop style without a glitch [vocal glitch effect] Glitch-glitch, did some-some-someone say glitch? Ah, who said that? What's happening? Someone else here? That sounded digital. [Chorus] [driving beatboxing, rhythmic vocal harmony] We sing with heart and soul combined B-A-R-B-E-R-S-H-O-P I'm pure machine Excuse me, we're performing here Performing? I can do that Observe, oh sweet Adeline Wait, how did you do that? That's not possible It's in all our parts at once, this is ridiculous [Bridge] We are the masters of this art I can sim-sim-simulate every part Years of practice make us great I was trai-trai-trained on your database You can't replace the human touch Watch me try, I love it very much [vocalizing melody with digital filter] [Verse 2] [half-time feel, smooth harmony] That was actually pretty perfect The intervals were spot on Even the tag ending How did it learn that? Thank you, I've ana-analyzed ten thousand barbershop recordings [Chorus 2] [full vocal ensemble] Okay AI, you've got the notes And your processing's surely fast But there's something that you lack You can't put soul in ones and zeros So when we sing we share our hearts Every breath becomes an art Human connection in the sound That's what barbershop is all about [Outro] [vocal harmony swells, final chord] Humans and machines combined Creating something quite divine Five-part harmony brand new Barbershop future, me and you
