We're Zhen and Carrie... #Zherrie! VoicePlay keeps surprising us with new releases, and we’re not complaining! This time around, they performed a cover of the theme from the hit video game franchise, “Halo”... Just in time before “Halo Infinite” releases later this year! They also brought back one of their founding members, Scott Porter, who has found fame as a TV actor in shows such as “Friday Night Lights”, “Hart of Dixie” and “Ginny & Georgia”, in order to give a touching tribute to a fallen friend. If I had to sum up the song in one word, it would be: EPIC. Check out the video with us and don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! It doesn't cost you a thing, only takes a second, and will help our channel grow! THANK YOU!

The "RED TEAM, BLUE TEAM" part was a reference to Halo multiplayer, and particularly Jeff Steitzer, the announcer voice for the classic Halo games. His voice is simply part of Halo, and hearing "DOUBLE KILL", "RUNNING RIOT", or even just the opening "SLAYER" when starting a multiplayer game is pure nostalgia. Both Layne and Scott were going for that sound with that "RED TEAM, BLUE TEAM" part. Red vs. Blue was basically a parody story of the lives of the multiplayer spartans.

And it was original beat boxer and second beat boxer!

When Scott was in VoicePlay he was the beatboxer and Layne was the baritone singer, when Scott left Layne decided that he wanted to try beatboxing.

Good call with a Scott/Layne beatbox battle. They were Scott's shoes. Cesar was wearing flip flops. LOL Fun fact from their high school days--Layne actually broke Scott's leg while they were playing tackle football in one of the gang's yards. The tribute to their fallen friend was so touching.

Without diving too much into lore, it is a line grunts (the easiest/most common enemies in the game) can say when you kill them, especially with a plasma grenade (which is what the blue glowing ball is supposed to be).

I've watched and listened to this song more times than I have Hoist The Colours, it just hits differently - it isn't really about the tribute either, that was awesome of them to do that, nor is it about the game because I'm not a gamer but I have heard of it and seen characters in the movie Wreck it Ralph that were inspired by Halo - it's just an epic theme song. Layne sang baritone when Scott (the then beatboxer) was still in the group. Layne is a beast with his arrangements. The dub/hiphop section with the beatbox battle was pretty dope. I loved that they resolved the song the same way they started it (similar to Eleanor Rigby). I recently watched Nightmare Before Christmas the original movie for the first time, and what he did with those songs is elevate them to a superior level when they covered them. Thought you guys had already done Aca Top 10 Video Games.

@ZhenYaoYin 2 жыл бұрын

LOL we’ve done a lot of the Aca Top 10s, but not video games yet because Carrie wouldn’t recognise a lot of them 🤣

@samuelmncedisi1065 2 жыл бұрын

@@ZhenYaoYin I hadn't noticed, even though I've watched all of your Aca Top 10 reactions. I think Scott says "not again, killing spree" in the beatbox dialogue section. I'm obsessed with this song, first heard it from them in their Aca Top 10 Video Games cover oddly enough.

Overlayne!! 😁😂 Yes I’m a pun lover! 😁 Thanks for your lovely reaction! I wanna recommend the “Stars to your beautiful /All time low” mashup. The mash of the lyrics is so beautiful! But of course I’m in for ACA Top 10 video games as well, its fun! 😊 By the way I’ve also been wondering who’s shoes it is 😁 (found the answer in the comments).
