Hey Diggers! Here's a little Digg love from me to you :) **UPDATE 12/23/08** Download the mp3 for free at http://www.kinagrannis.com Lyrics: When I'm feeling lazy, at school or when I work I sneak to my computer, and then I like to shirk I don't go online shopping, I don't email with my mom I open up my browser, and go to digg-dot-com Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg Gotta make this story big! Did you hear that awful sound? Another server's down! I always dig up Apple, and I bury Microsoft But when I said I was a girl, all the diggers scoffed And when I see those stories about Senator Ron Paul I don't even RTFA; I just digg them all! Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg Gotta make this story big! Did you hear that awful sound? Another server's down! The fanboys can be tiresome, they always are outspoken And if you're listening Kevin Rose, the comment system's broken! I know digg isn't perfect, but be thankful for what we've got It's just like daddy always says: "At least it's not Slashdot!!!" Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg Gotta make this story big! Did you hear that awful sound? Another server's down! ------- Chords To "Gotta Digg" VERY simple. D C G A D C G A D C G A forever and ever and ever.... I'd double check what fret I did it on, but I'm not around my guitar. I'm pretty sure it was standard, but I am a big capo user, so it's possible I threw it on some fret? Happy playing!! for more of my music: http://www.myspace.com/kinagrannis to buy cds: http://www.kinagrannis.com to download cds: search iTunes for Kina Grannis!

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com The PS22 Fifth Grade Chorus of 2009 perform a beautiful a capella rendition of the holiday classic WHITE CHRISTMAS by Irving Berlin, and made famous by Bing Crosby. This song has been sung by, well, everybody, including Frank Sinatra , Martina McBride , Otis Redding , Perry Como , Michael Buble , Dean Martin , Elvis Presley , The Drifters , Clay Aiken , Willie Nelson , Il Divo , Reba McEntire , Vince Gill , Doris Day , Jerry Lee Lewis , Wayne Newton , Andy Williams , Pat Boone , Keith Urban , Kenny Rogers , Dolly Parton , Jason Castro , Aaron Neville , you , me , and everybody.... This is taken from a quick rehearsal at Staten Island Borough Hall where the kids performed for the annual Tree Lighting ceremony. Thanks to Jared's dad for filming! :)

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com One of the most difficult covers we've ever attempted. This is one of my favorite Tori Amos songs, and the kids give the song a new life of its own. The debut of this version coincides with the upcoming release of Image Comics Tori Amos anthology in comic book form, COMIC BOOK TATTOO, which features an introduction by Neil Gaiman.

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com Here the PS22 Chorus of 2009 tackle one of the most straightforward and beautiful Tori Amos ballads, my dad's favorite actually, 1000 Oceans from the classic 1999 double album, TO VENUS AND BACK. (I highly advise the November 11, 2007 version off of the Nashville Tennessee Legs And Boots official Tori Amos bootlegs from her latest American Doll Posse tour) which I believe available on iTunes, although there are other wonderful live recordings of this song floating around.) The kids sound brilliant here and Allie outdoes herself on the solo. It's hard to believe they learned this in two practices, and Allie just learned her part THAT MORNING! This may wind up being one of the best PS22 Chorus Tori Amos cover of all time! Thanks to Mr. Chris Eberle for playing guitar with us, and Miss Lisa as always for her brilliant filming! :) Make sure you watch our rehearsal video with a few of the chorus members after school where the kids sing it a capella. Silly but fun and nice. The PS22 Chorus is not an intermediate school or high school chorus. Believe it or not, these kids are just a public elementary school chorus, and have soared to great heights, singing with the likes of Tori Amos, Crowded House, and Judy Torres. They were featured in USA Today, The New York Daily News, and on the VH1 blog) Perez Hilton even featured the chorus on two separate occasions on his blog. They will be appearing in the upcoming and updated version of the PBS classic Electric Company. These kids are on a roll.... UPDATE: Perez Hilton put this video on his blog, making this the third time he has covered the PS22 Chorus kid celebrities. Thanks to Perez for his support.... :)

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/ Yesterday 5-4-07, was THE experience of a lifetime! Christmas came early in 2007, that's for sure! Here's the story. After seeing PS22's 5th grade chorus Tori-cover videos sent to Amos' P.R. peeps by Undented.com, Sony contacted us and invited us to sing for and with Tori!! Here's Pt. 1. The kids sang Dragon and....... THEY BROUGHT TORI TO TEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE: This video has gone on to become one of the most viewed Tori Amos videos on YouTube, and garnered the PS22 Chorus much attention, including write-ups in USA Today, The New York Daily News, the VH1 blog, and probably most notably on the Perez Hilton blog. Perez, the ultra-hilarious gossip blogger turned TV personality, is featuring Tori Amos in his upcoming VH1 DIVAS special that includes (among others) Gloria Estefan, Pink, Janet Jackson, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, and Chaka Khan! Dragon is off Tori's newest album American Doll Posse, featuring: Yo George (Isabel) - 1:25 Big Wheel (Tori) - 3:15 Bouncing off Clouds (Clyde) - 4:06 Teenage Hustling (Pip) - 4:02 Digital Ghost (Tori) - 3:50 You Can Bring Your Dog (Santa) - 4:04 Mr. Bad Man (Isabel) - 3:18 Fat Slut (Pip) - 0:41 Girl Disappearing (Clyde) - 4:00 Secret Spell (Santa) - 4:04 Devils and Gods (Isabel) - 0:53 Body and Soul (Pip and Santa) - 3:56 Father's Son (Tori) - 3:59 Programmable Soda (Santa) - 1:25 Code Red (Tori) - 5:27 Roosterspur Bridge (Clyde) - 4:01 Beauty of Speed (Clyde) - 4:06 Almost Rosey (Isabel) - 5:26 Velvet Revolution (Pip) - 1:19 Dark Side of the Sun (Isabel) - 4:16 Posse Bonus (Tori) - 1:45 Smokey Joe (Pip) - 4:19 Dragon (Santa) - 5:03 + Miracle My Posse Can Do Drive All Night The PS22 Chorus is not a middle, intermediate, or high school group.

TORI AMOS with The PS22 CHORUS Pt. 2 of 4 -- FATHER'S SON
8th January 2009
Categorized Under: Videos

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/ In this segment -- oh my god -- my chorus and I got to accompany Tori on an acoustic guitar based live version of Father's Son. We were disappointed at first that there would be no piano, but I spent some time the night before practicing a few of her new songs on the guitar, just in case I could get her to sing something. And things worked out -- perhaps even better this way. How often do we get to hear Tori singing without piano accompaniment? Here she teaches the chorus and sings with them on her new song, Father's Son. It was UNREAL, SURREAL, ETC.!!! MY CHORUS GOT TO SING WITH TORI! Anyway, Father's Son is off Tori's new album American Doll Posse which features: Yo George (Isabel) - 1:25 Big Wheel (Tori) - 3:15 Bouncing off Clouds (Clyde) - 4:06 Teenage Hustling (Pip) - 4:02 Digital Ghost (Tori) - 3:50 You Can Bring Your Dog (Santa) - 4:04 Mr. Bad Man (Isabel) - 3:18 Fat Slut (Pip) - 0:41 Girl Disappearing (Clyde) - 4:00 Secret Spell (Santa) - 4:04 Devils and Gods (Isabel) - 0:53 Body and Soul (Pip and Santa) - 3:56 Father's Son (Tori) - 3:59 Programmable Soda (Santa) - 1:25 Code Red (Tori) - 5:27 Roosterspur Bridge (Clyde) - 4:01 Beauty of Speed (Clyde) - 4:06 Almost Rosey (Isabel) - 5:26 Velvet Revolution (Pip) - 1:19 Dark Side of the Sun (Isabel) - 4:16 Posse Bonus (Tori) - 1:45 Smokey Joe (Pip) - 4:19 Dragon (Santa) - 5:03 + Miracle My Posse Can Do Drive All Night The PS22 Chorus is not a middle, intermediate, or high school group.

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com The PS22 Chorus of 2009 has some fun with Coldplay's Grammy nominated song Viva La Vida, the amazing new hit single from the album of the same name. Hope it sweeps the Grammies! I love watching them sing this one, and it has kind of a different sound and feel on the guitar than the previously posted piano and acapella versions, so I thought it merited YouTubeage.... :) April sings the solo and sounds better than ever on this one.
