*insert pun about sparing vs sparring here* 

I like that the guys sparring were good sports about it.

They would have been better sports had they mimed a fatality at the end, though....

Yeah was just thinking that it was cool they went along with it, even cooler if he had actually gotten INTO it. The guy probably never did an animality in his life. 

wa na nah nah
Mooortal Cooooooombat!

Be singing this one all day now. 

now that i've watched it, i'm gonna make a better comment
that was super super bad

i'm sure i could make a better version of that song by myself. note to bands, if you want to sing songs like that, you might want to get singers somewhere below Altos.
Mortal Kombat is all about bass.
you have none

I understand what you're saying, cause it did lack bass, but that's more the fault of the camera's microphone. Faintly you could hear some low end voices in there, but these camera's microphones SUCK at picking it up, so the whole things ends up sounding like chicks voices cause higher frequencies cut through more. That's why a soprano will bury a tenor in an opera. 

how did i know that the guy in the ridiculous hat was going to be the one yelling "mortal kombat!" 

I don't remember oven mits in MK.

I think UC Berkeley dropped the ball on this one by not doing fart sounds when the guy with the wizard of oz pony tail does his push ups. I had to do them myself while watching this. 

Would it have been better if the boxer just started hitting the singers?

Yes. 

Would it have been better if the boxer just started hitting the singers?

Yes.

A good environmental fatality would have been if the singers ripped his sparring partner apart when he threw him into the crowd 

Oh look, its the circle of failure

agreed... The singers sucked. 

The dude in the pirate hat disaproves 

It is cool those guys had a good sense of humor about it.

good stuff.

I agree... some of the a cappella videos are funny but this one just got on my nerves for some reason... 

Unnhhh!!! I got another submission!!! Even if you all didn't like it! 

Yeah, that was not good, singing-wise. 

i'd rather listen to kenny g than a capella 

I can't figure out which is more stupid- the bad singers or the phag sparring in a park. 

In all fairness, nothing can live up to the awesomeness that is the real Mortal Kombat theme. These singers were doomed from the start. 

I think mediaphile is right. 

someone owes me my time back for that one... 

Way awesomer if one of the fighters had Liu Kang'd their asses 

*pew pew*
*pew pew pew*

*pew pew*
*pew pew pew* 

So utterly disappointed there was no "FINISH HIM!" at the end.

Tsk. 

Anyone else bothered by "cappella" groups?

It's like, hey I can't play an instrument or sing. But if I sound like something with a group of 20 other people sounding like something, we might make some type of music. 

*shrug*

i liked it 

that just went on waaaaaaaaaay too long. 

Yeah, it was funny, a bit long, but funny... Overall, I'd have to say that it was much better than cats... I'd see it again and again... 

Can't say that sounded even remotely close to MK theme. 

silly 

I give them a:

9 for the idea
but a
4 for execution

Sparrers (is that a word) get a 5 for not being dicks, but nothing higher for not being funny about it. 

I wish there were awesome a capella groups like that where I live...I must found one! 

that was painfully cheesy.

i agree with ionizer, 9 for idea and 4 for execution 

boring. somebody please pay them not to sing.

sorry to bet nit-picky, but a soprano will not "bury a tenor" at an opera. A well designed opera house, for one, will not need microphones for one, and lower frequencies will travel/carry much farther than higher ones. This is, for example, why you hear the *thump thump thump* of the kick drum of your neighbors/brothers/mothers shitty ass techno music through your wall, but not, say, the high hat. Higher frequencies don't cut through more of anything. Fact is, the human ear is tuned to hear frequencies in the range of 500hz - 2khz better than anything else, because it's the range of human speech. But, all in all, you were right about one thing, it's pretty much cuz the camera's mic sucks ass. 

Im really not surprised that was so disappointing. I mean come on, they go to Kal.

listen again. ;-) 

Aside from the rough camera movement, I have to say that was pretty damned funny! 

They should have done it in central projects of Harlem.

...think about the sort of guys who would join a college a capella group...
You're just lucky you didn't hear the tenors lisping. 

They should have done it in the central projects of Harlem. 

They should have done eye of the tiger. I guarantee the guy sparring would have got into that. Imagine if you were punching something and that song started up... 

Should have ended at 2:00 minutes.

Who the crap's the guy waving his finger up and down, and whats with the beat boxing?
"Combo!"
/not a big fan of MK [AT ALL] 

I so wanna go to UC Berkeley.
I would be king. 

Actually, for an acapella group to do something that requires so many repetitive, short notes, standing that far apart from each other, and to maintain pitch like that was actually pretty good. Arrangement was a little weak though. 

so just fired up Utah Saints - MK 

So ridiculous. So random.
How come I do that to liven peoples days and don't ever get it back?
Ex: Making 15 drunk people put on karate outfits with black man masks that were being passed out at the SF gay pride parade from "Hairspray" (the new terrible movie version of the broadway musical of one of my least favorite John Waters movies) then pop their heads up over the fence one at a time for the unsuspecting neighbors.
Somebody surprise ME sometime.... 

if this is cool, i dont want to be cool. 

Whatever the gayest thing in the world was, it's now second gayest after this video.
