i'm so conflicted

during my sophomore year in college, my friend (who was in an a capella group) decided to arrange "sweetest thing" by U2 for his group, uptown vocal (yes, that is the group's real name). being forced to listen to his countless synthesized renderings of that song pretty much guaranteed that i would hate it forever. and maybe him a little bit as well.

in any case, i found this through stereogum and i feel as confused and betrayed as those people who worked with tootsie. do i secretly love this or does it merely confirm my longstanding belief that a capella is the devil's music?

booksie, i'm sorry. i know my strident dismissal of your art form offends you. and heidiroo, this is by the carleton singing knights of your alma mater. thoughts?

No, but if it said Me So Conflicted, then yes, the Blogger program would be racist.

Does my post answer read: "Confict Resolution -- Thank you, Come Again!"?
