One of our most steadfast supports, Angela in Minneapolis, just sent us this clip of an a cappella group covering “She Loves Everybody.” Max and I used to be engineers at Harvard’s campus studio and, to our frustration, often had to record a cappella groups. Luckily, the Octopodes from Johns Hopkins University did a great job on this one. Extra props to the beat-boxer for his innovative dance moves.

Pretty F’in sweet
You know your a real band when you get A Cappella covers of songs… I’m not saying you guys haven’t been a real band. You know what I mean. Thanks for making such excellent music!
KOO!!!KOO!!!LAID!!!LAID!!! i wish i had that talent… the beat boxing is on point and the choir is dope as well as the lead singer… KOO!!KOO!!!LAID!!!LAID!!! wit extra suga!!! GO C.French!!!
The Sister Song, a capella would be nice too.
If they covered “Fingers”, I promise I’d die… Especially if they did it on Glee…. *faints*
A “Gleeful” rendition of a great song. And the beat-boxer does have some mad steppin’ goin’ on!
oWWW!
As I would die, too, Shelby.
Beautiful cover. Simply amazing.
But nowhere near as amazing as the original.
My sisters will be ok with this version. They were put off by all the smacking in your video
I love seeing; hearing you guys sing. Good luck in everything you do. Johns Hopkins should be proud to have you all doing postive work.
That beat-boxer is skaking hard from the looks of it. I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but he also looks like he’s in pain. This actually sounds pretty amazing. I love it lots
I looked them up, they have a bunch of videos on youtube. I dont think the beatboxer ever stops moving!

I agree Catherine! Haha. He’s an exceptional beat boxer though. I’d say they did the song justice.
I found some more videos of them here. http://bit.ly/588bUi They’re an awesome group. Congrats Johns Hopkins.
YAY OCTOPODES! Diego (the beat-boxer) is the man.
Man, I love acapella! And I love Chester French! It’s like a dream come true.
Oh my god. I just about died of laughter at the beat boxer. Absolutely fantastic! Not as good as the real thing of course.
Even by college standards, that was awful. I wish they couldve done you guys justice!
Solo was notably terrible.
haha i looove this!! its so good and his dancing is funny
