He’s there to sing the “fifth note” if they can’t create it as a foursome.

Just in case one of the other singers get hung on a note.

This must be the latest weapon to the impending war

Do you all do requests? Do you know “Zuckerman’s Pig”????

Of course, because you’ll always need a spare if you don’t have one.

He a lot of treble…….sweet Adeline!

Makes sense. As to a group of six singers, they’re called still a “quintet” (“group of five”) because the Latin word for “six” has changed its meaning to something considered NSFW.

Because you never know when you’re going to need a fifth!

he cuts the hair while we sing at you

Baby on board

It’s “there ARE 5 of you . . . ,” NOT “there’s 5 of you . . . .” The use of a singular predicate for a plural predicate nominative GRATES! Make English great again, please!

He was elected as a spare because his traditional mustache refused to grow! ;o[

So they are ready if one of them goes flat.

Looks remarkably like a gallows. Appropriate.

Must be in training too.. No mustache!

gallows humor

Barbers are working class, not “nobility”, so they don’t have a Count.

Rules of Engagement classic episode about Timmy’s a cappella group “The Raging Toners”.

I hope that Lassie is nearby in case Timmy falls down a well. LOL.

Made up of the guillotine operators?

He’s the “younick” of the quartet. He sings falsetto.

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe, the horse was lost. For want of a horse, the rider was lost. For want of a rider,…

We call that a junkyard quartet.
