It'll Be Okay... Just Dance

What is the P.S. 22 Chorus?

The internet tells us: The P.S. 22 Chorus is an elementary school chorus from Public School 22 in Graniteville, Staten Island (New York). Comprised of 60-70 fifth-graders, directed by Gregg Breinberg (a.k.a., Mr. B).


Apparently, they're a big internet phenom and they made Tori Amos cry and they've performed everywhere on earth and cover all manners of pop, as evidenced by the robust collection of videos on their YOU TUBE page.

There's something about seeing these underprivileged kids so earnestly singing Tori Amos and Fleetwood Mac and Lady Gaga and Velvet Underground that seems... subversive and strangely encouraging...

[Is it December 20th, already? Are you kidding me?]
