Toto’s 1982 hit Africa, as performed by the Slovenian choir Perpetuum Jazzile.
Anybody got anything comparable?
That’s an inventive choir! 
The Welsh crowd at a home rugby match
I wanted to find a decent Welsh Male Voice Choir video, but had no luck…
The King’s Singers - Deconstructing Johann
Creole Love Call
I can’t post a link or cite any particular chorus but any good Russian A Capella group should be able to do a decent (goosebump raising) Evening Bells rendition.
I loved all of these! Come on folks, feed the hunger!
I just read that Only You was Maggie Thatchers favorite song. Hehe, considering the current thread we have about her.
Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir
Kontakion of Saint Nino (Choir unknown) Georgian Sacred Chant
Solage - Fumeux fume par fumée (choir unknown; sounds like the Ensemble Organum recording.)
Jacquemart le Cunelier: Se Galaas Et Le Puissant Artus (choir unknown, but as above it sure sounds like the Ensemble Organum recording…)
As you can tell, I’m having no fun whatsoever looking for these.
Where the Streets Have No Name from U2’s movie* Rattle and Hum.*
Ben Folds just released an album where he went to different universities and recorded each school’s a capella group singing one of his songs. He also did two songs himself. It took my ear a little time to get used to the sound but it’s pretty great!
My old college a capella group is on that album (alas, long after I left, although one of my students was still in the group when they did it). They actually did the last song, which is pretty cool. Here is their rendition of The Luckiest which got them on the album.
That’s what I came here to post. Darn you.
Incredible beauty, but incredible sadness in Samuel Barber’sAgnus Dei. If it sounds familiar, it was first composed as Adagio for Strings, and apparently was used in the movie Platoon. But I think it works much better as a choral piece.
I’ve done that finger snapping/rain thing for the past 20 years as a camp thing with groups. I don’t know where we got it from but it’s interesting to see it done with almost the exact same hand gestures by the leader.
Okay, it’s not super-brilliant like some of the others, but it’s funny: MORTAL KOMBAT!!!.

I made beer money in college doing lighting work for a stage equipment store. Guy contracted to provide lights/sound/makeup etc to travelling acts around the state. One of the hottest shows I worked was a group called “Sweet Honey of the Rock Gospel Choir”. Four ladies, barefoot, on stage. No band, no instruments, nothing. They sang. They clapped. They stomped. And they rocked the house more than any other music show I ever worked.
Not really my style of music…but still an epic performance.
