    Fellas, that signifies that it is DEFINITELY time to get back on the road and work……WAY too much time on your hands…..i am still laughing though! I have to ask, how many times did you go through it to get it right?

  • http://www.bittersweet-jess.blogspot.com Jessica

    That was awesome, Guys!
    Especially considering y’all look more like the Village People than the Bee Gee’s! :) (OOH! You need to throw a little Y M C A into the grab bag!!)

    Who knew you had such range, Bart?

    Enjoyed it! And will enjoy it many more times!!
    Can’t wait for the next one!

    Comments from my 6 year old son, Adam, who as standing behind me as I watched this hilarity:

    1. “What’s up with those helmets, Mom?”

    2. “Oh my…….”

    3. “Those guy’s moms gave them too much sugar….”

    That was so worth watching. And what IS up with those helmets.

    I love that you guys are so silly. Silliness is ESSENTIAL in my book. Rock ON!

  • DAVID E.

    You guys have too much time on your hands……that was awesome.

  • Bree

    Why was Bart cracking up at the end? Was it because Jim was doing something funny in the background?…

  • Buggy G

    It’s a modern-day miracle!!! You guys made me actually enjoy that song!

  • Cassandra

    ROFL! I was in tears and loved that it all stopped and started again. I would also like to know how many shots that took… you all giggled in that one a little, so I can imagine more of that went on. =D Thanks and keep up the great work! *looks forward to the “Cover Tunes Grab Bag” posts*

  • Brenda

    OK!!! that was hilarious(sp)? wow i had to watch it over and over LOLOL Nate’s body language was too funny, the helmets, NICE, Bart i didn’t know you could go that high, then stop …then you surprised me and kept going…. WOW!!!! then Bart started laughing and i was laughing…… so where’s Robby and Jim?? TOO FUNNY… keeeeeeeeeeep the laughter —– this was good

  • Aunt Meg

    Hey Mikey, What’s with the helmet?? Do you live in Libby or something? It’s amazing you could record that without cracking up!!! Love Always, Aunt Meg

  • TLC

    Ok, I have to suggest a song that would be really funny to see you guys sing. How about “These Eyes” by the Guess Who.

  • Tammy

    All I can say is…. WOW! Dont quit your day job!!
    (I love the grab bag)

  • http://www.mercyme.org MMmike

    Actually, Brenda….Robby lives about 2 hours away from the rest of us and Jim was having Hunt county’s largest garage sale in his front yard, so he was a bit out of pocket. Maybe he’ll be a good boy and blog about it one day…maybe.

    Aunt Meg….seriously everybody…she’s my aunt…everyone say Hi Aut Meg….1, 2, 3….

    The helmets were because Nate and I rode our Honda Ruckus Scooters to the place we shot the video….we actually live across the street from one another…He can’t get enough of me.

    Mike

  • Buggy G

    HI, AUNT MEG!!! :)

  • Trish

    HI, AUNT MEG!!! :)

    Will you be an Aunt to ALL OF US?? ;) Will you also take ALL OF US out for ice cream and a movie?? Better yet… can you score us some FREE tickets to MercyMe concerts??

    PRAISE GOD for MercyMe!!

  • david e

  • http://fourthdimension.zxq.net Alexander

    I just keep watching over and over and over. Nate made me crack up! And by the way, who reads Car and Driver? At the opening sequence, there’s an issue behind the paper bag…

  • Brenda

    well then i guess we can excuse Robby and Jim…. but you guys were still hilarious!!!!!>>> so this video and the “shake it don’t brake it” video are my favorite LOLOLOL

  • http://www.verticalradio.org Wendy

    What a riot. Care to do it live in New Mexico? (I double-dog dare you.)

  • Robin C.

    lol…I needed a good laugh. Hey, gotta run, my favorite movie is on AMC…The Princess Bride…

  • RaeAnn

    PEACE

  • http://moments3.blogspot.com/ jenn

    Loved it! You guys are a bunch of funny boys.

  • http://billswingle@adelphia.net Bill Swingle

    Forget the silly helmets. There is no substitute for talent. When you got it, you got it. Period. I am truly stunned at yours. WOWZERS!

    The Bee Gees??? I never would have believed you could have do it so well! Gadzooks, is there no limit to you guys? Wow.

    Bart you got pipes! Dude, I can’t believe your range.

  • http://Mercyme Keith S.

    Awesome guys! I really enjoyed the title song also the whole thang was halarious. keep on shining!!!

  • Meg Duncan

    Hey Peanut Gallery !! (see how old I am…that’s from Howdy Doody…and you’re going “Who?”) I can’t be anyone’s Aunt but Mike’s. Unless y’all want to move to the frigid Northwest! It’s 37 degrees outside and we’re in the midst of a total white out blizzard! But y’all keep supporting Mercy Me and Awesome Mike!! Love, Aunt Meg

  • Buggy G

    I envy you, Aunt Meg. Not because you’re Mike’s aunt, but because you have snow and cold weather! The temperature here is reverse . . . 73 degrees. My summer blues have already set in.

  • Gina

    So funny! Loved it! Can’t wait for more songs. How about Footloose!

  • Rebecca T

    Buggy G- 73 degrees?!?!? where do you live? it’s been above 90 degrees here where i live! you know what i would give for it to be 73, like it should be at this time of year?
    ****************************
    oh, and you know Bart was singing in his falsetto voice which was why he was able to hit that note… which by the way was only an F below high C ( i can hit an E above high C :P …well at least i can on a good day)

  • Buggy G

    Rebecca,

    73 degrees + humidity + about 50 more degrees for how it feels to me = TOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT!!! ;) During the day, the temperature has been in the 80s and has hit the 90s. On a side note, we also have cicadas here to add to the summer fun!

  • Rebecca T

    Buggy G-
    Time to go on vacation to somewhere cooler hu? (thats what i’m doing this weekend! :D )

    …though not to where Aunt Meg is- that sounds a bit TO cold!

  • Buggy G

    Thanks a lot, Rebecca! Now I’m jealous of Aunt Meg AND you! ;) Seriously, have fun on your “cool” trip. I would love to go on vacation, preferably a permanent one! To a place where it’s always cold and there are no bugs . . . except for me, Buggy G. :)

  • Jerry

    This is why we miss you guys so much. Good Times. When is next time you all will be in OKC. You need to meet our newest addition of the Jackson family. We now have four boys. Keep in touch.

    Be blessed,
    The Jackson family

  • joanne

    it brought tears to my eyes ;-)

  • Louise

    This was so funny, great work!… while I could not stop myself from smiling… I could hear my parrotlet say : “you want to sing? you want to sing?” That is a very good sign guys!! Whenever I listen to music while working on my computer, I can’t keep myself from singing and harmonizing, and so does my bird… he just love to sing and to specialy say it!!!

  • Smilemaker

    Just found these this morning. My daugther was laying down laughing and said “what a kick”. I agree!! What great family entertainment. It’s so funny to see you guys try so hard not to laugh while you are performing these tunes.

  • brenda carter

    Love how high you can sing. I think it would be great if you did the song Brick House.

  • Dudettes with hats

    We love you guys!! Especially Nathan’s faces.. it’s so hilarious. So… we pooled our heads together (yes, there are more than 2) and we would love it if you sang the song “Funky Town”!!! OR.. A Disney Princess song of your choice! I.E A whole new world, Kiss the Girl, Beauty and the beast… etc. So, alrighty then! Thanks for your time! Loved your live concert! You’re amazing!
    Love the girls..!
    P.s. We don’t actually have hats.

  • Debbie

    This one is my favorite. You crazy people crack me up. Please don’t ever stop.

  • Lina

    Yeah you guys are totally goofy and its so funny. But Bart you got range man, you can sound like Barry White or Amy Lee or anything in between! Hey speaking of Barry White, you gotta sing some, thats my request. Love you guys
