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."

On Staten Island, the chorus at P.S. 22 has gotten themselves into the spotlight with some help from YouTube and their 36-year-old director Gregg Breinberg. The NY Times reports that Breinberg's bunch has performed everything from Viva la Vida by Coldplay to Flying Dutchman by Tori Amos. One 10-year-old voice in the contemporary chorus says, “When I get depressed, I think about my songs and it makes me feel better. I also sing for Mr. B because he takes his own time to teach me, and so I always put in a 100 percent effort because that’s a really cool thing for him to do.”
