Go watch our award-winning music video of Ninja Sex Party’s “Welcome To My Parents’ House”, winning “Best Humor Song” in the 2025 AVA Awards and scoring a 5/5 RARB review! Originally performed as part of our spring repertoire as a senior song in 2022, soloists Blaise Russo (music video) and Grant Schwab (Spotify) masterfully tell the story that captivated listeners and shows the true range of the suspender-clad group’s charisma.
“Any group that wishes to bring camp and wit to their performances should take copious notes in between bouts of laughter.”
- Dan Fister (RARB)
”This track is collegiate a cappella humor at its finest. From members interjecting dog barks and a falsetto imitation of mom, this track will leave you in stitches.”
- Stephen Lanza (RARB)
