Learning to play music is a bitch

and even worse when documentation survives...

On the WFMU blog, here's a post of school bands and choirs wrecking all kinds of pop music. Don't miss a junior high chorale tackling Lionel Richie's "You Are" (a song that I've been grappling with myself for many years), and a junior high band mangling "Beat It." Like being a teenager isn't hard enough... at least there's no video to embarrass these kids for their whole lives.
