Now is the hour for Kiwi barbershop quartet Musical Island Boys who were judged best in the world in Las Vegas at the weekend.
The foursome required a special dispensation from the International Barbershop Harmony Society rules two years ago to be allowed to compete singing in a "foreign" language.
And so the Maori version of Now is the Hour was their swansong when the four, including former Palmerston North Boys' High School student Matt Gifford, won the gold medal at the society's international competitions in Las Vegas.
