Tally Hall consists of Rob Cantor (yellow tie, vocals & guitar), Joe Hawley (red tie, vocals & guitar), Zubin Sedghi (blue tie, vocals & bass), Andrew Horowitz (green tie, vocals & keyboards), and Ross Federman (gray tie, drums). Additionally, Casey Shea toured with the band in 2010 in place of Joe, wearing a black tie, and Bora Karaca, a close friend of the band widely considered the “sixth Tally” finally donned an orange tie and joined the band onstage for their summer 2011 tour.
The band released their debut album “Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum” in 2005 under the local Quack! Media label to great critical acclaim, before signing to Atlantic Records and re-recording the album in New York City with producer Chris Shaw for a 2008 re-release.
A multi-talented group with a passion for comedy and film as well as catchy tunes, Tally Hall created their very own Internet Show, which aired on their website in ten installments beginning in 2008. Tally Hall’s Internet Show (THIS) featured sketches, animation, parodies, music videos, and interviews, a hilariously inventive tour-de-force of off-kilter humor that has seen individual excerpts (such as “Natural Ketchup” and “Honk War”) go viral all on their own.
Tally Hall recorded their much-anticipated second album, “Good & Evil,” in fall 2009 with producer Tony Hoffer, but the release of the album was delayed multiple times due to undisclosed issues with Atlantic Records. In the meantime, the band continued to tour, playing shows with Rooney, Crash Kings, Jukebox the Ghost, and Skybox. At long last, in March 2011 it was announced that the album would be released on June 21st of that year under the band’s old Ann Arbor indie label, Quack! Media.
The band toured in support of Good & Evil during July and August 2011, but since then have been in a state of “hibernation,” as Rob Cantor has put it. No official announcement has been made regarding Tally Hall’s current status, but since 2011 many of the members have gone back to school and/or have been releasing their own solo musical projects. Andrew Horowitz has been putting out music under the name edu, and in 2012 Joe Hawley released the pseudonymous album Hawaii: Part II, produced by Bora Karaca and Ross Federman with contributions from Rob Cantor and Zubin Sedghi. In 2014, Rob released his solo album Not A Trampoline, featuring contributions from Bora, Andrew, and Ross, and he has also been producing a steady stream of popular viral videos on his YouTube channel.

The Whole World And You
Tally Hall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sharing soltries and passing letters and
There's lots of questions answered and
Metaphysical astronomical songs
Words printed all on papers
That seemed too mystical
People that dance and compute that
No one's better then you
La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la
There's kings in distant cities
Who rule their persons and
Make them happy and
We won't forget about all the
Servisory congratulatory
Even the animals know that something's brewing
And they're all cooing
Cause in the end I'd like to say
No one's better than you
I hope you're happy now
I've revealed the truth
I've even written this whole song about you
And not about me
And not about me
Please don't just laugh and clap right now
This is serious
I'm not delirious
I've waited very patiently
Just to let you know
Who should run the show
Cause we all know these are the facts
Nothing to retract
Nothing too abstract
Concluding in the song
I'll say
No one's better than you
No one's better than you
No one's better than
You
