Pentatonix delivers a much anticipated acappella cover of fun.’s “We Are Young”

(by PTXofficial)

I vividly remember John [Janick] dropping by my office with a just-mastered ‘We Are Young’ in hand. It was still on its original blank CD-R titled in poorly handwritten red Sharpie. ‘Glee’ doesn’t break bands. We celebrate existing pop success-that’s our core model…Not five minutes later I sent it to [“Glee” co-creator] Ryan Murphy, and within a few short weeks Ryan created what would become one of [the show’s] pinnacle song moments of the entire series. For fun., ‘Glee’ provided a launching pad for much of the success to come. For ‘Glee,’ fun. allowed us to show the world we could be an A&R source and break a band. It was music business perfection.
