Better uses of a Children's choir in pop songs
Or at least different.
I wasn't that keen on the choir on ROTT. Something off about hearing Italian children trying to sing in English.
Here are two that come to mind:
Denim:
It Fell Off The Back Of A Lorry

Grandad's False Teeth

(oh my! what is that last song about...)

Meant to ask for others to provide examples as well! Please do!

"There's No One Quite Like Grandma" by St. Winifred's School Choir
that was awesome ... number one ... incredible ... sweet ...
Re: Better uses of a Children's choir in pop songs
Well, I may be showing my roots here, but the one that springs to mind immediately is "Big A Little A" by Crass. It was almost a duty to know all the lyrics. All together now...
"Big A little A, bouncing B
The system might have got you
But it won't get me
1 2 3 4.."
the memories...

Brian and Michael and that good ol'Salford favouite - Matchstalk Men (or was it Matchstick??.) Quite apt after last weeks gig at the Lowry which was top banana. Can't wait for Blackburn....again. Late tickets thanks to this forum!!!
Re: Better uses of a Children's choir in pop songs
I have another candidate, dallow. The kid choir backing of Prozzak's "It's Not Me, It's You". I upped a copy I found on the Web, and while it's a badly ripped copy, it still gets the choir effect across.

this is not really what you were asking for but this one gets me every time

Hefner - The Day That Thatcher Dies
hang the dj
of course we wouldn't dare to suggest Panic? Glad people remember Denim. That article in Word about him recently was a bit of a worry though.
Not better, but I like it: Desmond Dekker "Pickney Gal"
"When Doves Cry" from the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack volume 2
Did I just admit I have this? Yup....
Of course there's also ABBA's "I Have A Dream." Again, none of these are "better," but enjoyable.
you got that right - fucking MAJESTIC
Panic at the home of Lawrence
Ha, you're right about Panic, slipped my mind.
The "Uncut" article had me worried about Lawrence as well.
Glad the first CD is being reissued.
Re: Better uses of a Children's choir in pop songs
Hmmm, I think the choir is perfect on the album and it more than adds to the track in my opinion. It's even better that he has them singing the lines they do. It's too funny.
Re: Meant to ask for others to provide examples as well! Please do!
Hehe, I actually have that.
Thanks! Good piece!
Prozzak
Haha, interesting to say the least!
Thanks.
