Some Joyful Musical Awesomeness for Thursday

I’m feeling a bit under the weather and need cheering up, so here’s some musical awesomeness to brighten up your day:

A unique cover of Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ (starring Bill Bailey, who is a personification of joyful musical awesomeness…)

Musicians from around the world unite to sing ‘Stand By Me’.

You’ve seen this before, but how can you not love the Muppets singing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’? (Also Ode to Joy.)

Dedicated to my friend Sudge and little baby Clark: Live orchestra playing the Superman theme…

…And for my lovely Helen, here’s Ella Fitzgerald singing a live version of Summertime in concert in Berlin.

The Hallelujah Chorus in a shopping mall…

And finally, A whole town sings American Pie. This is fantastic.

Hope you’re all singing!

Epic Classical Flash Mob

I’m headachey and probably doomed not to see any meteors tonight, so just a quicky – this is a cool video. Sadly Dudley hasn’t yet discovered Flash Mobs, although it was around this time last year that my local branch of the nerd herd were lazily discussing the idea of invading somewhere dressed as the Hawkmen from Flash Gordon (Flash Mob, geddit?). The lunchtime choir thing is way more impressive though…
