This is a multitrack video of the Barbershop tag "To Reach The Unreachable Star", which is an excerpt the Belgium song "La Quête Impossible" by Jacques Brel. Please use www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvcAxhfK8Ec&fmt=18 for high quality.

It is the arrangement by Burt Staffen (1970) and also tag no. 69 of David Wright's classic Barbershop tags compilation. I added a A1 to the final chord, which I barely managed to hit one morning. I did a lot of EQing to that note, because without adjustment it just sounded like noise.
This is the Tube & Berger Multitrack Jingle. Please use

Tube & Berger is the alias of Dance/Electronica producers Arndt Rörig and Marco Vidovic from Germany:

They found my multitrack videos and asked me to record a Jingle for them. I was honored and gladly accepted! They wanted me to sing a slightly modified version of the To Reach The Unreachable Star/Impossible Dream Barbershop tag with the lyrics "Tube and Berger", using a multitrack setup similar to my other videos:
