Why diction matters

Okay, nobody else may find this as funny as I did but if you've ever listened to a choir sing and wondered "What the hell are they saying?" this might give you a laugh.

I'm such a nerd, I laughed until I cried. Seriously.

 

Holy f*ck is that funny.

You're a nerd? I would have never thunk it.

As a former music major, church attendee, choir participant, and viewer of this video.. Thank you! I laughed my ass off watching that!

 

Funny indeed. If you must know, "Yes, I'm Sitting" is actually "Blessed City," and the original words are here:

However, this choir seems to have a revised version of the words, substituting "she" for "thou," "our" for "thy," "joy" for "heights," and so on.

 

Was cute...

 

I've got a friend who was in the choir during her college days. Have to send her this.

 

Very funny... thanks for posting.
