Sometimes things happen on the Internet that we fail to share with you, beloved readers, and for that, we apologize. But never say that we don't get around to giving you those greatest hits eventually. (The Internet runs in circles, anyhow.) The PS22 Chorus is one of those things that if you haven't experienced, you must, and if you already have, you'll probably still end up watching all of these videos repeatedly.

Music director Gregg Breinberg started uploading videos of the Staten Island-based PS22 Chorus singing gorgeous arrangements of grown up songs (with toned-down lyrics), and it didn't take long for the 70 fifth graders to attract major attention from the Internet. After being linked by fans including Perez Hilton and Ashton Kutcher, the chorus' videos went certifiable viral and the group even went on to not only perform at Radio City, but also brought Breinberg's icon, Tori Amos, to tears as she watched them sing one of her songs.

From Lady Gaga to Fleetwood Mac, the chorus' repertoire includes songs for everyone -- not only are these kids amazingly talented singers, but they also know how to bust a move.


  • My personal favorite (and Perez Hilton request), the kids' version of Lady Gaga's 'Just Dance' not only cuts out most of the naughty bits (who needs 'em!) but you get to see some amazing dance move in the chorus.
  • How could this not go viral? The most inspiring version of Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger,' since its screen debut in Stallone's Rocky.

  • Even if you're not a Coldplay fan, you'll love PS22's version of 'Viva La Vida.'


  • Karaoke standard 'Don't Stop Believin'' definitely sounds better coming from these fifth-graders than from drunk frat brothers at the local pub.

  • Tori Amos cries while the kids perform their version of her song, 'Dragon.'
