Pub Choir, a traveling experience that brings strangers together to drink, sing, and be merry, celebrated an evening for the history books on January 30, 2019. On that night, 1,500 tipsy people came together to belt out their best version of the Backstreet Boy's immortal tune "I Want It That Way".

Fortunately, the whole song was captured on video for posterity's sake:

1500 strangers sing "I Want It That Way" (Backstreet Boys)youtu.be

One has to admit, the three-part harmonies on display in the video aren't that bad at all for a group that's already thrown back more than a couple drinks.

Twitter was beyond inspired by the Backstreet cover.




Pub Choir's website description sums up their heartwarming philosophy pretty well:

"Pack yourself into a pub with hundreds of strangers, learn a song in 3 part harmony in 90 minutes, perform it twice, and if the publishing Gods are smiling: have it immortalized in video forever. No audition, no solos, no commitments, no sheet music, NO WORRIES. Music belongs to everybody. So grab a beer, relax, and simply open your sound hole (your mouth, FYI). It's rowdy, wholesome, and so much damn fun."


"Drunken choir" might be our new favorite kind of cover! Pub Choir posts a video of almost all of their evenings online and they're all priceless.

It's not surprising the Backstreet Boys cover has gained such attention, however. There are enough "I Want It That Way" covers on YouTube to form their own subgenre:

Fox News Ripped After Blaming Talarico For Not Trying To Stop MAGA Conspiracy Theory About Him

Fox News sparked eyerolls from critics after attempting to blame Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico for not trying to shut down a viral MAGA conspiracy theory that he'd had a mental health episode and was admitted to a facility.

Talarico returned to the campaign trail after taking nine days off to recover from the flu. During his absence, conservative commentators circulated an unsubstantiated claim that he had experienced a mental health crisis and traveled to the Lindner Center of Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio, for treatment.

Samuel L. Jackson Roasts Red Carpet Reporter To Shreds After She Tries To Do Impression Of Him

Samuel L. Jackson is one of those actors that people just love to impersonate. He's had so many memorable roles with countless quotable lines, and his personality is nothing short of fascinating.

But people who attempt to impersonate him always get some aspect of the impression wrong, whether it's the volume, the enunciation, the intonation, or just the overall demeanor. Even Jamie Foxx, who's an impressive impersonator of a wide range of stars, has not impressed Jackson with his impersonation of him.
