I’m a sucker for these multiple-track music videos. This guy is Nick McKaig, and he’s extremely good at reproducing songs using just his voice. Here’s the proof: the Simpsons’ theme sung a capella.
It’s sounds so good and wacky that I like it more than the original.
According to Nick, he “had to write out the entire orchestration from a recording and perform every part, which ended up being over 30! The violin runs were the most fun to record.” So good! [Thanks Karl!]









Ha ha, this reminds me of the background sound for the first season of Glee.
Pretty respectable effort, I have to say.
I just watched his Pokemon theme tune acapella, outstanding!
Better than the original? Gimme a break. Some bloke mimicking. Is it Acapella? Mimicking more like. Amazing what passes for talent these days.
As impressive as this is, I can’ help but think of this…
