Phoenix: “Lisztomania” (PS22 Elementary School Choir)

Maybe I’m getting all “sentimental” after working with elementary schools last week, teaching them about poison prevention and stroke, that my heart just melted upon this rendition of Phoenix’s “Lisztomania”. Not only has this PS22 chorus performed in front of Lady Gaga and Beyonce, but they were the kids behind Passion Pit’s “Let Your Love Grow Tall” and  “Little Secrets”. They’ve even gotten high praises from the band themselves.

via i guess i’m floating:

“Lisztomania” has been involved in some cool things since Phoenix released it, first there was the great dancing video done on the rooftops of Brooklyn and now a slew of 5^th graders from a New York City public school contribute their own rendition. Thanks to a tweet from Bryant of Part-Time Music, I spent the duration of “Lisztomania” watching some soulful students from PS22 rock out the tune with great facial and hand expressions to boot! Talented kids and a passionate teacher can sure put one big smile on your face.
