2. Thank you! I can't watch it without weeping unashamedly

That's maybe the greatest choir ever assembled.

3. Thank you so much.

It's been years since I've watched that. It still gives me chills...and makes me:cry:

4. Me, too. I was twenty when it came out and would watch it over

and over. I haven't seen it in YEARS, thanks to the OP for posting.

5. I thought that was the most hilariously

stupid song and video of all time.

Someone, maybe it was Weird Al, did a version called We Are The Worms.

6. True, but...

...as insipid as it may seem, it is remarkable and admirable to get that much talent and ego together at one time for a good purpose.
