PS22 Chorus "The PEMDAS Parrot" by Zach Johnson Video Duration: 03:55 http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com The Pemdas Parrot was written by my friend Leslie's son Zach as an assignment. He asked if we could get some of the chorus kids to sing this for his project. So of course we rounded up some chorus ringers from last year's and this year's group for him, and this is what we got. Just something fun and educational for your Saturday afternoon. :) Pemdas is the acronym to help you remember the order of operations in math equations: Parentheses (Parrots) Exponents (Eat) Multiplification (Many) Division (Dates) Addition (Addition) Subtraction (Subtraction) ps22 chorus p.s.22 choir ps p.s. 22 pemdas parrot order of operations 2009 2010 Added: 11/7/2009 2:13:46 PM Views: 990

PS22 Chorus "Gold Dust" by Tori Amos Video Duration: 04:23 http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com With the release of the tenth Tori Amos album, Abnormally Attracted To Sin (name taken from a line from Guys & Dolls), it felt like the right time for our second Tori Amos cover this year. This time the kids tackle "Gold Dust" from the classic album, Scarlet's Walk, and take it to a whole new place. This is one of my all-time favorite Tori songs (and one of my mom's too.) The kids do it incredible justice. And of course to lighten the mood, at the end of the video we have Justin and Josh performing a rap -- totally making fun of me. As usual.....

PS22 Chorus "Jóga" by Björk Video Duration: 03:41 http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com Coming to you live from PS22, here's yet another amazing accomplishment from a first rehearsal. Yes, I am VERY proud to say that the kids learned this song in one sitting, and it is one of my favorite things I've ever heard. It was a spontaneous decision to learn the song today. I really planned on working on the bounty of new material we've bitten off, but during rehearsal I could tell the kids were fiending for yet another new song. So I looked over my iPod and came up with this song by Bjork called "Joga" off the album Telegram. This is one of my 3 or 4 favorite Bjork songs and man oh man, the kids on this!! Just brilliant. I can't believe how polished this sounds after learning it only today. I'm so happy about this one. ps22 chorus p.s.22 choir ps p.s. 22 bjork joga telegram live acoustic harp piano kids singing fifth grade graders 2009 Added: 4/4/2009 6:59:46 AM Views: 1651
PS22 Chorus "LET IT GO" by THE BANGLES Video Duration: 02:20 http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com In high school, the Bangles were my absolute favorite group, and I thought this song would be a perfect fit for the chorus. This is off their album DIFFERENT LIGHT, which featured the classic eighties anthem "Walk Like An Egyptian", and "Manic Monday" by Prince. This song is unique in the ladies' discography, as it is the only Bangles song penned by all four members . I think our favorite fifth graders sound pretty darn good considering it was only their second time rehearsing this live acoustic version.... And yay for Tashee on the solo! ps22 chorus p.s. 22 choir ps 2009 the bangles let it go different light susanna hoffs vicky peterson debbie michael steele piano guitar Added: 4/1/2009 6:15:46 AM Views: 2284
PS22 Chorus "Language" by Suzanne Vega Video Duration: 02:43 www.ps22chorus.blogspot.com A few days ago I posted the first rehearsal of this new PS22 Chorus song. It's amazing the difference one practice makes....... April does a fantastic job on the solo -- you may remember she sang the solo for our now-classic version of Viva La Vida by Coldplay. The song is "Language" by Suzanne Vega, one of the all-time great singer/songwriters, and one that has always held a lot of meaning for me. The kids totally do it justice and that's to say the very least..... The PS22 Chorus of 2009 is a forced to be reckoned with! ps22 chorus p.s.22 choir ps p.s. suzanne vega language Added: 3/14/2009 10:39:46 AM Views: 3149

PS22 Chorus "I'll Be Your Mirror" Velvet Underground with Nico (Susanna Hoffs cover) Video Duration: 01:52 http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com My favorite song by the Velvet Underground sung to near perfection by the fifth grade PS22 Chorus. This song was also covered by Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles for the Rainy Day album, a compilation from different performers from the "Paisley Undergound" movement in L.A. covering some of their favorites and one of my most treasured CDs. As a little acknowledgement for her further inspiration in the creation of this piece, I incorporated Susanna Hoffs lyric and phrasing for the "sun, the wind, and the rain," and her ending. The original lyric is "wind, the rain, and the sunset," and closes with a fade out. ps22 chorus p.s.22 choir ps p.s. 22 velvet underground i'll be your mirror nico susanna hoffs the bangles Added: 3/7/2009 10:02:46 PM Views: 2939
