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:

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:

Nancy Mace Gets Blunt Civics Lesson After Claiming Every Muslim Elected Official Is A 'Trojan Horse'

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out by CNN anchor Omar Jimenez for her lack of understanding of the First Amendment after she published a series of Islamophobic tweets, including one referring to every Muslim elected official in the country as a "Trojan horse."

Mace's posts came after Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. El-Sayed, a physician who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November.

GOP Senator Hit With Brutal Reminder After Slamming Trump Over Executive Order To Break Up MMR Vaccine

Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy was criticized for voting to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) after he spoke out against President Donald Trump's executive order recommending that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine be broken up into separate shots.

The new policy would recommend giving the MMR vaccine as three individual injections rather than as a combined shot, while also spacing childhood vaccinations across separate doctor visits.

MAGA Actor Dean Cain Swiftly Fact-Checked After Doubting Dem Senate Candidate Actually Played High School Football

Dean Cain had a question, a theory, and one consequential mistake—he asked the internet to “do your thing.” The former and failed Superman turned MAGA try-too-hard fan took aim at Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday, but this investigation had less to do with truth, justice, and the American way than high school football.

It all started when Cain took his suspicions to X and invited the internet to find the receipts:
