I think that's considered child abuse.

Almost totally garbled and enthusiastic - so drop it an octave and you have an uncanny Neyland audio doppelganger. You may need to add a "Whoooo!" We'll fix it in post.

Because there's nothing funnier that co-opting little foreign children with hooked on phonics fight songs.

The Minsk Orphans Collective 242 Choir's version of "Fight On" isn't quite as spirited as you might hope though. Rumour has it that the original goal was to get them to sing the UCLA song, but it didn't work because they had never clapped before.

I find it more "utterly delightful" than funny.

I didn't say it wasn't charming. The clip adheres to the prime directive of achieving this: if they're going to be singing off-key, then they need to be completely and gloriously off key, and singing con gusto.

The real problem is that I'm bitter because Mrs DC Trojan won't let me teach our children some harmless terrace chants from the wacky world of UK soccer. Why do Vols teaching overseas have all the fun?
