Complains Choir of Chicago

Great song. I watched three times and cried three times. When they sing "the most creative minds work for the advertising industry...," I feel so sad, hahahah....

I watched this song in PS1 Contemporary Art Center. Complaints Choir was founded by Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen in Helsinki. After the first complaints choir took place in Birmingham--the arsehole of England--and made a surprisingly success, the idea of turning complaints into a easy to learn song has spread around the world. On YouTube you can find complaints choir of St. Petersburg, of Singapore, of Melbourne, of Jerusalem, of Hamburg, and of Helsinki, etc. The lyrics of these choirs are really funny.

New Yorker just performed their complaints choir in June this year, but the video hasn't been put on YouTube. Can't waite to see what the residents of the world's most chaotic city will sing.
