Taylor Swift's 'You Belong With Me' gets college a capella treatment -- plus a Kanye dig
Twitter
GoogleThe YellowJackets, an all-male a capella group from the University of Rochester, have covered Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" -- and made an excellent video to go along. What a great video, it's actually really well done. We think Taylor Swift would approve!
College a capella music gained some national attention recently when the Tufts Beelzebubs competed on NBC's "The Sing-Off" back in December. A lot of university and college groups date back more than a hundred years. The YellowJackets were formed at the University of Rochester in 1956 and have toured all over the East Coast, even appearing on "The Tonight Show."

great find,..
oh no you dit'int tbnyc!!
you know T-swizzle is my girl her music is the hotness and if you was eva 15 you'd know this, MAN!
Ok um tbnyc do you even know who Taylor Swift is? She is the top selling artist of both 2008 and 2009 and no her and John doesn't have an intimate relationship. Is she country? Yes she is and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Country rocks. Oh and I'm glad you realized she's white! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that. Oh and poor? PUHLEASEEE! Do you even know how much Tay makes?! Get your facts straight hun and stop hating. She is and will forever always be THE BEST!
Brittany, give me a break - of course I know who she is. Seriously get off the soap box.. Great find as of great find on Youtube
Nice job of mocking Taylor! lol The sad thing is that the group sounds 1000 x's better than the "mega star" Miss Swift on her best day. The world is finally seeing this girl has NO vocal abilities. Taylor, however is laughing all the way to the bank thanks to everyone that turns a deaf ear to the overexposed, overpromoted media darling. The media and critics should... Just Have Said No!!!
Too bad the YellowJackets are the shitty version of the Midnight Ramblers. Sorry boys.
Okay the Ramblers are all gay so thats why they have so much energy...lets be honest here, the yellowjackets are A LOT better looking and so much more down to earth. Plus the Yellowjackets have a better sound than they do this year and I think they are much better overall
So being gay is a problem? Way to be a homophobe. I've been to both groups' concerts this year and I have to say the YJ still lag well behind the Ramblers in almost all aspects, especially tuning, which you can hear is god awful in this video.
Nice try though, I'm sure you are personally connected to the YJ and therefore are biased. I've been to ICCA finals twice with my group in college, so I pretty much know what I'm talking about.
