on a side note, have you noticed that when people sing in english, all accents disappear? it always sounds like american midwestern english (well, except for country music).

I touch Myself by the Divinyls, a gloriously sleazy 80s single, is hardly an obvious choice of material for a chorus of teenage Belgian maidens. But that's the kind of song the Scala choir chooses to cover. Even more surprisingly, in their innocent mouths itbecomes a spiritual psychodrama of quite unsettling power.
The Scala choir was formed in 1996 in the Belgian village of Aar-schot by two brothers, Steven and Stijn Kolacny. They chose 60 girls, who were then given intense vocal training. The watershed in the choir's history came in 2000 when the girls started performing pop songs, both standard and obscure. As Scala aficionados know, there are few things as electrifying as a chorus of wide-eyed sixth-formers sweetly enunciating, as if it were Verdi's Requiem, the words "her boyfriend's a dick, he brings a gun to school" (from Wheatus's Teenage Dirtbag).
