Their renditions of classic songs like Danny Boy or Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two) have never sounded better.
They will surprise you with twists on Disney favorites like Be Our Guest (Beauty and the Beast) and When Somebody Loved Me (Toy Story 2).
Even the Beatles aren't safe from being harmonized, just ask them to sing Something.
