2 2 Ga Ga!



More congrats to the chorus!! After posting our new video of "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga, Perez Hilton picked it up and posted it on his blog within minutes!




So this song was actually a farewell request from Perez and a farewell thanks from the fifth grade PS22 Chorus of 2009 to the man who was the driving force behind putting the kids on the map. After posting 5 of their videos this school year alone, Perez Hilton has brought millions of viewers, both directly and indirectly, into the world of the PS22 Chorus. Big thanks for believing in these kids, and for raising awareness to the importance of music and the arts in education. Indebted.

So when I found out he wanted a Lady Gaga song, I was a little petrified! I honestly didn't know if we could pull off something like that. But the kids were asking for Lady Gaga themselves, so I put it on them to rewrite some of the lyrics to "Just Dance" to make it something that would be okay for school. And with just a little lyrical tweaking on their part, they totally recreated this song. I dare say they completely ROCK IT!!! And as you see the kids are loving it too!

UPDATE: Below is a screencap of the honors this video has received so far! Take notice of the #1 most watched music video today!! As always, we will update until they peak!

UPDATE 6/17/09: Okay, 2 days later and the honors are still rising for this video, along with being featured on CNN Headline News!! We are still holding the #1 most watched music video spot, but now the kids have risen to the #3 most watched video (music or otherwise)!!! CONGRATS, KIDS!!!!
