If the Internet is any guide, \u201cSh-Boom\u201d is required harmonizing on many college campuses. This bodes well for the song\u2019s future, notwithstanding the fact that far too many sophomoric (ahem) arrangements make \u201cSh-Boom\u201d into a vehicle for barbershop quartets or, worse yet, a hymn.<\/p>\n
A peek online yielded these contestants for what an exemplary representative example might be: (in no particular order) the Pittsburgh Panther Rhythms, the University of Rochester Midnight Ramblers, Tufts\u2019s S Factor, Western Washington University\u2019s Major Treble, Western Connecticut State University\u2019s The Parallel Fifths, the Stanford Mendicants, the Washington University Stereotypes, the Texas A&M Men of Moores, UC-Berkeley\u2019s Men\u2019s Octet, the Ft. Lewis College Men\u2019s Choir, and McMaster University\u2019s (Canada) Absolute Pitch. The Harvard Din & Tonics consider \u201cSh-Boom\u201d to be their signature song.<\/p>\n
To choose a champion among all these worthy candidates would be harder than picking the perfect bracket for the NCAA Men\u2019s Basketball Tournament. So, I have taken the easy way out and selected–envelope please–the Men\u2019s Choir of Poor Knights (loosely translated) at the University of Bergen.<\/p>\n
Just thank me for not belaboring the point with high schools, summer camps, and family reunions.<\/p>\n
