My choir teacher showed us this version because we are doing it, and when he was showing it to us I got chills multiple times

[@RealCatWCUE]

SAME

[@simonapadurariu7224]

I have simply been addictive to this video for years. I still need to hear and see it from time to time. It is the best interpretation of this song!

[@alisonnorth1519]

Thank you so much for that.

[@temitopefaleti7053]

Same here Simona; I don't blame you

[@easybullet3]

I like how all the children are really pronouncing all the words clearly. It makes the song sound really nice

[@fraserkatie]

Theyre great! Reminds me of my singing at a young age in a choir!

[@Haldrid]

my teacher played with our accompanist one last time to this song, a four hander very interesting song, I love it, keep up the good work.

[@justinvinsend7595]

Hope you have received a very well-deserved raise, Alison North! Any chance you might make a recording of this group which your fans could purchase?

[@alisonnorth1519]

Alas no raise ☹ even though I win the competition again in 2016! The choir has made a couple of cds over the years. Thank you for your interest, it means alot

[@NinaHansen2008]

Alison North , can you tell me where I could purchase cds of your choir? I would so love to own them. By the way, do the kids know where Milwaukee and Scranton are located? ;-)

[@alisonnorth1519]

Nina Hansen Hi I would be more than happy to send you our 3 choir CDs as a gift if you could send me your address? Alison 😀

[@alisonnorth1519]

Thank you so much 😊

[@hsxcherries]

I sang this in Woman's Choir when I was a junior in high school. This brings back so many memories.

[@izzyg6849]

They're so good for their age, wouldn't be suprised if they all auditioned.

[@izzyswindells94]

they did audition!

[@ConesOfDunshire]

Omg! U guys have to be proud of yourselfs! Amazing! Plesant! Im doing this song in my chrous! Awesome song!

[@teenersrules93]

I'm making my children join choir!!! It is sooo much fun and they are sooo cute!

[@bassmajor]

Great, they are really motivated and feeling the music. That's something many young choirs are missing because they aren`t conducted with passion and emotion. If only that would be done, they feel it too!

[@loverlyme]

Beautiful diction. I still like the original version of the song though (lyrics and arrangement) but it's nice to see it still being enjoyed after so many years.

[@BrayleyCrowe]

I love this song i have no idea why

[@BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

Aww so sweet :) I lvoe the parents smug little faces at the end haha "Look, that's my little princess up there, she's gonna be the next Catherine Jenkins"

[@brendamilanes8926]

Wow, just fabulous ... I got chills and tingles listening to this great little choir !! I want our choir to do it soon .. and we are all in our 60's + .....

[@fraserkatie]

You have a great drama teacher there! Great! I love your school's singing!

[@netipothead]

This is amazing. It's so awesome to see kids this young really get into music. It's one thing to get them to sing the right notes at the right times, but they really look enthusiastic, and that is superb!

[@andreyxf04]

My mouth open really big at 2:13 OMG, so adorable and magnificent! GREAT work you guys :D keep posting

[@coolcat98802c]

[@alexthomsonuk]

Verse 1: Solo: When I started down the street last Sunday Feelin' mighty low and kinda mean Suddenly a voice said "Go forth, neighbour! Spread the picture on a wider screen!" And the voice said, "Neighbour there's a million reasons Why you should be glad in all four seasons! Hit the road, neighbour, leave your worries and strife! Spread the religion of the rhythm of life." Chorus (full): For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat (repeat 3 times) Soprano/alto (2nd and 3rd times): To feel the rhythm of life To feel the powerful beat To feel the tingle in your fingers To feel the tingle in your feet Tenor/bass (3rd time) Go, go go Go, go, go Tell them ev'ry thing your know! Verse 2: Solo: Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee Take a walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge All the way to Canton, then to Scranton Even tell it under the Manhattan bridge You will make a new sensation Have a growing operation Build a glowing operation here below Like a pied piper blowing Lead and keep the music flowing Keep the rhythm go, go, going, go, go go! Bridge 1 (full): Flip your wings and fly up high (x 3) Fly, fly, fly up high You can do it if you try (x 3) Try, try, try to fly Like a bird up in the sky (x 3) Fly, fly, fly Bridge 2 (full): Doobi, doobi, doobi doobi, doobi...! Outro (full): To feel the rhythm of life To feel the powerful beat To feel the tingle in your fingers To feel the tingle in your Life, life, life Neighbour, you've got the Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm Rhythm of life!
