Video: Eye of the Tiger, Staten Island Style

Remember those amazing kids from P.S. 22 on Staten Island, and their equally amazing chorus teacher Gregg Breinberg (aka Mr. B)? Last year they charmed us all, including the one and only Tori Amos, and have gone on to work with bands like Passion Pit and Crowded House. SI Live checks in with the now 60-strong chorus, and declare them an official "internet sensation" with this new cover of "Eye of the Tiger."

Mr. B says, "Jared (the soloist) insisted we do this, and I'm glad he did. I guess this is a Guitar Hero favorite now or something." What songs would you like to see them perform?

I'd like to hear them sing Roxy Music's "In Every Dreamhome, A Heartache".

With all the funding cuts in schools, I'm scared for the future of all kids. Music was THE MOST important thing I ever got out of school. Mr. B is doing a fantastic job with these kids.
