The Harvard Young Men’s A Cappella group, The Harvard Krokodiloes, is absolutely stunning. They make the best use of each and every voice in the assemble. And in the moments when they all come together and unite their voices, they absolutely shine.

The medley mixes several Beach Boys hits into one, and it’s a wonderful surprise to hear them go from note to note with a lyric from a different song. They honor the Beach Boys’ legacy.

The Beach Boys, a five-member band, got together in Hawthorne, California, in 1961. They released Surfin’ Safari, their first record, with Capitol Records the following year. They released hundreds of songs until they ended in 1998, and 80 of their songs charted worldwide during their career.

They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and are recipients of The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award®. They became a staple in American music culture and continue to influence thousands of artists, such as the Krokodiloes, today.

The group’s youth and infectious joy permeate through their performance. You can tell there is a genuine love for the Beach Boys’ unique sounds. They perfectly capture the band’s joyful spirit.

The vocal arrangement is so bright and cleverly crafted. Each note just builds on the joy.

You can just tell by watching the young men that there is camaraderie and warmth between the young men. There is clear rhythm and storytelling as they piece together the Beach Boys’ medley. Their actions and the endearing moment at the end where they mime surfing on the waves are the cherry on top.
