The Barbershop Trio is a group of three identical gentlemen who perform the Old-Timey version of The Cheat Theme Song, "The Ballad of The Sneak". They resemble The Announcer and are likely his Old-Timey counterpart(s). Their voices are provided by members of DaVinci's Notebook. What's curious about the Trio is that barbershop music is almost always written for four different voices, and without a fourth voice, this barbershop trio cannot complete the most famous musical chord associated with barbershop: the Dominant Seventh. What's even curiouser is that The Brothers Chaps are well known for composing their own music for cartoons, and yet failed to properly represent a Dixieland/Barbershop in The Fisheye Lens cartoon.
