Fun with a chorus

The people of Quinhagak, Alaska, have fun with the Hallelujah chorus.

I really, really want to love this video, but the improper use of the apostrophe just ruins it for me. I'm one of the people who gets to correct these youngsters' papers later in life (provided that they make it to Alabama) and it makes me physically ill to see the plural/possessive issue abused like this.

What a great video - the joy of Christmas shines through -- these Alaskan village kids gave me the best Christmas card.

Lord knows I can be a punctuation stickler, too, but c'mon - these kids made my week!

I would be hard pressed to spell a Yupik song as well as these kids in English.

I doubt I could spell Quinhagak without the copy and paste feature.

The gay agenda has reached Palin's Alaska and is being taken up by its kids. Alleluia! I first saw a version of this performed by the Gay Men's Chorus of New York in the 80's or early 90's at Carnegie Hall and gay choruses all over have been doing it ever since.
