The Four Freshmen

The Four Freshmen is a multiple (six) Grammy-nominated American male vocal band quartet that blends open-harmonic jazz arrangements with the big band vocal group sounds of The Modernaires (Glenn Miller), The Pied Pipers (Tommy Dorsey), and The Mel-Tones (Artie Shaw), founded in the barbershop tradition. The Four Freshmen is considered a vocal band because the singers accompany themselves on guitar, horns, bass, and drums, among other instrumental configurations. more »

 Struggling with Opus One? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I'm racking my brains to think of a name
To give to this tune so Perry can croon
And maybe old Bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone humming this thing
The melody's done, repeat and repeat
And if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing to make it complete
'Cause everyone's a-swinging today

So we called it Opus One
It's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey
It's Opus One, it's good to swing that sway, baby!

If Mr Les Browne can make it renown
And Ray Anthony'll rock it for me
There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out
Whenever you can hear Opus One

(Doo-doody-oo's)

So they call it Opus One
Come on, latch on and jump, hey, hey, hey
It's Opus One, come on, latch on and jump, oo-oo-ooh, baby!

(Doo-doody-oo's)
