After seeing these guys on the Today show last year, DH and I downloaded their Christmas CD. It's one of my favorites!!! Their version of the 12 Days of Christmas makes me smile every time!

I heard their 12 days of Christmas song on the radio the other day and it made me laugh sooo hard, so I downloaded the CD off itunes. I love it! The can can song is my favorite. SOOOO funny!

I've never seen or heard of them before but now I am thinking it maybe worth while getting the CD for it. That was an amazing video. Thanks for sharing it with us.

My daughter's music teacher (grade 3) actually played this for them as an example of a remix !!

 

[denise]

thanks for the link. I never had heard of them before. Loved it. Really like their song: I'm Yours/Somewhere over the rainbow...found it on iTunes...

I love this so much. Thanks for reminding me of it. They are an incredible a cappella group!

Straight No Chaser is a great group. They released a second album this year and the deluxe version features a number of non-Christmas tracks. Definitely worth checking out.

We are doing this song for our christmas concert. It is called the 12 Days Of Christmas? by the Buffoons we didn't add the dreidel part though

Hey, Froggy ~

Can you give me a clue as to where to find the sheet music for The 12 Days of Christmas? by the Buffoons? I have a small women's a cappella group and we would like to perform that in December 2010.
We'd like to get an SSAA arrangement, but if there are only arrangements for men's voices, we can transpose. Please let me know where your group got the music, and how did your performance go?
You can e-mail me at justfrieda[at]comcast[dot]net

Thanks,
Frieda

I looked at this and it appears to be the original (I read music and am a music teacher) which Straight No Chaser started with - but I think they added the Africa part themselves.

Hope this helps and welcome to the DIS!

Hey! That is exactly the arrangement I was looking for! Thank you so much - I have ordered it. It's arranged for SSAATTBB, but I think I can transpose it to SSAA with Sibelius 6, or can ask some advanced musicians I know for help. You are great to have located this for me, and I really appreciate it!
