介紹（ZT）：英國的「國王歌手合唱團」（The King's Singers），可說是全世界最令人驚奇的歌唱團隊之一，六個人、六張嘴巴，幾乎從來不用任何樂器伴奏，但是他們所演出的和聲效果卻無比的豐富。除了歌唱，他們還經常以雙手和口技模擬出各種樂器的聲音，帶來讓人難以置信的有趣效果，而他們演唱的曲目，範圍更是寬廣，從蒙台威爾第的牧歌、羅西尼歌劇的序曲、史特勞斯的圓舞曲、宗教歌曲、歌劇名曲，到法國香頌、各國民謠、電影配樂、甚至披頭與「皇後」（Queen）合唱團的流行經典等等，幾乎無所不包。在過去這將近四十年來，他們表演的足跡遍及全球，所到之處，無不深獲喜愛與推崇。
說起「國王歌手」的誕生，要回溯到 1965年。當時英國劍橋的「國王學院」有十四個參與合唱團的學生，共同組成一支命名為「The Schola Cantorum Pro Musica Profana」的團體，並且錄製了一張不對外發行的流行歌曲專輯。由於演出很成功，進而引發其中三位團員結合另外三位同學，共組一支名叫「來自國王學院的六個合唱學生」（Six Choral Scholars From King's College）的六重唱，也就是「國王歌手」的前身。經過陣容的一些變動之後，他們在1968年首度以「國王歌手」的名義在倫敦舉行演唱會。
1. "Deconstructing Johann" This is a very funny song by Daryl Runswick:
/>
J. S. Bach had a little problem.
J. S. Bach was in a fix.
J. S. Bach couldn’t find an answer.
What to do?
“I’ve written most of a rather fabulous work!
Toccata, it’s in D minor, but now I’m feeling a bit of a jerk
I can’t think of what should come after it”
“Now,” said his wife, who was resting up after her 33rd child
“Johann, my dear, you should just go to bed.
Something always comes up”
“Don’t be a tweet!
It’s a real crisis and I’m working to a deadline.
What can I fit?
What to fit after the great toccata
Maybe it needs to be something faster
I haven’t got a clue
and in a week the piece is due
I’m in a panic
I’m stuck like glue“
“Don’t get your knickers in a twist, Johann,
Those are only notes,’ you’ve always said.
“There’s only twelve so use your head”
“How many arrangements of twelve notes can there possibly be?”
“That’s a problem I don’t want to deal with
How many permutations on C and D and E and F and G, A, B is a thing that I never heard of.
You can leave that to Arnold Schönberg
He is the person to do that twelve-tone thing”
“No! No!
It isn’t the answer, I haven’t the foggiest.
What am I gonna do?
I’m all in a panic”
Aaah, no.
What can I do?
I’ve finished my toccata but I have no fugue
(Phone ringing)
Ah... and now I’ve got the fugue!
2. Flight of the Bumblebee (no need for intro, these guys are just hilarous)

3. Creole Love Call (shows off their singing techniques. This song was made famous by Duke Ellington)
