VOCAL PERFUC*TION. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
That was great that Conor Flynn answered the questions that we were all wondering. I was curious about whether or not they got to go again in case they screwed up on their first take.
The Bubs are very classy guys. They lost gracefully and were just happy to make it as far as they did.
A little fun fact: Conor was the one who they taped saying how hot Nick Lachey is and then played it on air haha
There is a connection between Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours. The chord structure of the Ukulele version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo`ole (yes that is his name) and the Jason Mraz song are identical. In fact, when I first heard I’m Yours, I thought it was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. So, there is your connection and why the two songs make a perfect mashup!
Matt: =P
Allison: Absolutely, we love Conor. So classy, and apparently the guys love to pick on him. He’s a great sport, isn’t he?
Alex: I want an apostrophe in my name.
