# It's lovely
TJ I have to share this with you lot as I am bursting.

I sing in a symphony choir (proper grown up classical stuff) and Last Night of The Proms is coming up soon and we were given the programmes tonight.

I scanned down to see what we were singing and nearly fell over when I read 'We all Stand Together' Composer Paul McCartney.

WE ARE SINGING THE FECKING FROG CHORUS!

About five serious choirs, total approx 150 - 200 people, formally dressed, singing the fecking Frog Chorus!

# I feel it my duty as a B3tard to do that if I get the chance
however, as we are singing "O Fortuna" never fear. For certain I will sing "nicking footballs from gaylords" as well as other things I think I can get away with.

# Hahaha. I had to sing that when I was 12
I prefer the Apollo 440 version.

# Well
the sound of a good choir is one of the most beautiful sounds that humans can make. The thought of a good choir singing the frog chorus makes me sad :(

# I agree with the former
Being in the middle of the choir in full throat, being able to contribute is a wonderful feeling.

I was horrified when I first found out and thought it was a sick joke but after a while I realised it appeals to my silly side.

# yeah, maybe
I'm all for musical cross-over and juxtaposition but there's no way I wouldn't be cringing if I was in the audience.
It'll be different if you're singing, of course. Enjoy yourself :)
