A cappella music is performed without instrumental accompaniment, usually with more than one voice. An effective song done a cappella incorporates strong lyrics with a vocal musical arrangement. The variety of a cappella styles ranges from classical choir to barbershop quartet to the style known as do-wop, made popular in the 1950s. Here's how you can create an a capella song for you and your vocal group. Things You'll Need: blank music staff paper ,notebook, pencil, digital recorder and an eraser Instructions 1 Write a song that features the members of your vocal group. Typically you will have a high, two mid-range and a bass voice. You can write the lyrics on music staff paper and notate in traditional music notation if one or more of the members of your group are familiar with music notation, but many vocal groups performing a capella simply write lyrics in a notebook and indicate the parts by labeling the lyrics with an s (soprano), a (alto), t (tenor), and b (ba...

This is the funniest advertisement I have seen by Macdonalds. Great idea for a song !

Don't kill this song by Wang Lee Hom. Forever Love is to be sung in a cappella style and when you are in love.

The world funniest group that I have ever met. I got to know this group through Joel Shen who is my best friend in church. However the group disbanded due to lack of practice and meeting up. I really hope that they will continue. This song is pretty disturbing actually and mind-boggling. But it is time-consuming to maintain a group that sing only. They deserve a star for their attitude.
