介绍（ZT）：英国的「国王歌手合唱团」（The King's Singers），可说是全世界最令人惊奇的歌唱团队之一，六个人、六张嘴巴，几乎从来不用任何乐器伴奏，但是他们所演出的和声效果却无比的丰富。除了歌唱，他们还经常以双手和口技模拟出各种乐器的声音，带来让人难以置信的有趣效果，而他们演唱的曲目，范围更是宽广，从蒙台威尔第的牧歌、罗西尼歌剧的序曲、史特劳斯的圆舞曲、宗教歌曲、歌剧名曲，到法国香颂、各国民谣、电影配乐、甚至披头与「皇后」（Queen）合唱团的流行经典等等，几乎无所不包。在过去这将近四十年来，他们表演的足迹遍及全球，所到之处，无不深获喜爱与推崇。
说起「国王歌手」的诞生，要回溯到 1965年。当时英国剑桥的「国王学院」有十四个参与合唱团的学生，共同组成一支命名为「The Schola Cantorum Pro Musica Profana」的团体，并且录製了一张不对外发行的流行歌曲专辑。由於演出很成功，进而引发其中三位团员结合另外三位同学，共组一支名叫「来自国王学院的六个合唱学生」（Six Choral Scholars From King's College）的六重唱，也就是「国王歌手」的前身。经过阵容的一些变动之后，他们在1968年首度以「国王歌手」的名义在伦敦举行演唱会。
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)
