So I may be behind the curve on this one, but I’ve just discovered the Scala Girl Choir from Belgium. Founded by the two Kolacny Brothers, the choir features fabulous voices and unique covers of pop songs such as Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day”, Radiohead’s “Creep”, and the Divinyls “I Touch Myself” (yeah, baby).
Here’s a video of them covering U2’s “With or Without You”:

Lovely. For all that I can't stand Bono, I've always liked this song. A gorgeous version!
I know what you mean, Robin. (Though Bono has never irritated me as much as, say, Yoko Ono.)
Check out some of their other songs on You Tube too...their tastes are pretty fun. I even saw that they have a cover of Bowie's "Life on Mars", but can't find the clip. Rats!
If Bono married Yoko Ono would he change his name to BonoOno? Or would he just compare himself to John Lennon incessantly? Thanks for sharing the beautiful tune.
