May The Fourth Be With You!

Happy May the Fourth!

Happy May the Fourth.  Please enjoy these Star Wars themed a cappella videos!



One of the best videos to show you on this, the holiest of all Star Wars holidays, is this classic from 2008:



fun fact: this is not actually Corey singing.  Corey is lip-synching to the 2002 studio recording of moosebutter.


It was recorded at June Audio, Provo, UT.  Corey filmed his video in his kitchen.


double fun fact: Corey's Star Wars video was the most-viewed a cappella video on YouTube before Pentatonix.


Come to think of it, whatever happened to the "John Williams is the Man" guy?

Of course we couldn't forget moosebutter's "response" video from 2008!


triple fun fact: moosebutter's response was actually a response to a lipsync of their own recording.  This video is actually live. Gotta love the phone call to Corey asking if they got it right!


This arrangement even works chorally.

Not to engage in speculation, but this group might not do much choreo. It's great to see them let loose a little bit.


Arranged by J.S. Slagowski, Bryant W. Smith, and adapted by Mr. Tim, this arrangement premiered on May 19, 1999, the very night Jar Jar first opened his mouth (which is why it ends with "go go go to the movies").


You can find the the sheet music HERE!



In advance of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, more Star Wars videos came out.
