    A true 80′s classic.

    And dogs all across Texas are running for cover.

    What is there to say about this song? (Really and truly, as much as I love the 80′s, some songs should just stay gone.)

    I think my eardrums broke :P .

    Bart, I’m surprised you have a voice after doing all of these. That was great!!

  • Alec

    Well. Next time, you SERIOUSLY need to move the camera further back. Killer microphone overload there. (Although depending of the size of the corner you’re all in, the off-the-wall acoustics may have the same effect. Hmm… Something to experiment with…)

    um… most *excellent* range… yeah.

    that was hilarious! thanks for having fun and giving fun back!

    I love A-ha! Dating myself here, but I even saw them in concert in Philly when I was a kid.
    That’s some voice you’ve got there, Bart! My poor dog has an ear infection, otherwise I think he may have run away. The good news is I think you scared all the squirrels out of our yard, and seeing as how we were trying to get rid of them with a bb gun yesterday, a thousand thanks!

    Nate, you are too funny when you get tickled. You recover ever so nicely.

    Barry, I can see you cracking a smile too. Its nice to you guys know its as funny as we do.

    Whoa, it did have a some very loud parts.

    Bart, your expressions at the end are priceless. It made me think of Stanley of Laurel and Hardy. Hopefully, you know who they are and I’m not show my age too much. :)

    Thanks for putting the “meet and Greet” auction back on, cant wait for the tickets!

  • http://www.toonin.com Z

    Well, um, that was interesting.

    I like Pete’s avatar (about 10 comments up):
    I’m squishing your head! (I’m squishing my own head).

    Anyway, not the most spectacular CtGb, but entertaining nonetheless.

    More Charlie?

  • Sara

    OUCH!!! Eardrums are broken! Too loud!! But nice try…ouch.

  • http://www.billswingle.com Bill Swingle

    OK Great. Now that you’ve gotten me hooked on these CTGB’s, it’s telling me “Sorry. No longer available.” Now I’m jonsing for this installment!

    What’d did you do? Overload someone’s server?

    Darn it.

  • http://www.billswingle.com Bill Swingle

    Hey, a few minutes later and it worked! Cool. You must have exceeded YouTube’s bandwith. Heck I don’t know but it sounds good.

    Thanks guys.

  • http://cathy-davis.blogspot.com Cathy Davis

    HA HA HA my dog was looking all around trying to figure out wher that “sound” was coming from.

    haha, never a dull moment.

    Bart,

    I have to ask.. is it difficult for Nate, Barry and others not to laugh. I also want to know is that little Charlie in the opening/closing of the “BAG”, he looks like he is circleing to get the “BAG”. I want you to know that your music/antics are a sure fire way for a side-splitting laugh from our blind Kymberlee, as you can guess she can only hear you. I have to tell you its a scream to watch her reaction to your “BAG” series. I can tell you that even though 1 lobe of her brain is dead, she is developing the “I LOVE MERCY ME” lobe every day. Keep bringing “THE WORD” into all the far reaches.

    Thanks Joe

  • ann
