The Barbershop Trio in action

These gentlemen sing the "Ballad of the Sneak" song, circa 1936. They appear to be the 1936 version of The Announcer. To add even more takeoff to the Trio/Quartet, "Ballad of The Sneak" is actually only a duet.

Note: The song actually alternates between one-, two-, and three-part vocal harmony. The a cappella introduction seems to comprise three voices in homophony; they are most distinct on the lines "never deigns to speak" and "they just call him the sneak." The "jaunty jackanapes" section takes a call and response format, with a soloist calling and the other two answering in polyphony; again, a total of three parts.

The song is performed by "DaVinci's Notebook".
