First let me get this out of the way; auto tune.
What’s the singing style called used in the title “song”, the brief vocal that goes something like “bidly diddly boop GLEE!”?
Is it simply Choral? Something else?

Scat?
Yup.
Well I’ll be!
Ain’t never heard no scat like that. Although my entire exposure to it has been Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. This choral type seems quite different to me. Can anyone point me to more examples of the GLEE type?
Manhattan Transfer?
Ewww! Really? Okay. Maybe best in small doses.
acapella? beatboxing?
This is a style I associate with the Swingle Singers. The Wonder Bread end of scat singing.
The internet has ruined scat singing for me. Well, the term for it, at any rate.
I now refer to it as “freestyle jazz vocal improvisation”.
Well there you go. If not the official term, a good offering.
Freestyle, scat, beat boxing, a cappella, vocal jazz, free jazz, free improvisation, whose line is it anyway, nonsense syllables, vocal jamming, vocalese.
I’d say it’s somewhere in between some of those…
Isn’t it based on doo-wop?
You mean doo-doo-wop, I presume?
I read on wiki (I believe) that it is acapella covers of instrumental songs. I can’t find it on there now, s maybe it was a different website. It even gave the name of the group who does all those bada-bada-bada songs. This is going to bug me all day, isn’t it…
Scat? Doo-Doo-Wop?
LOL
More like the Brown Sound…
