I've chosen a two-hour cross-section of a cappella songs, both covers and originals, at least some of which are guaranteed to amuse or amaze you, or both. So, even if you don't think you'll like it, hey, give it a try!

i didn't know there were words to Rhapsody in Blue--did they make them up or are they real?

Naw, they made them up. This "group" is just two women doing all the singing, and one Lothario-type who wrote all the lyrics and arrangements.

This next song, of course, was first done by the immortal Spike Jones and his Orchestra.
