I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing) - Video Coproduced from the I.S.S. and on Earth

[BaerbelW]

Hi Folks,

long time no new topic from me but I just couldn't resist sharing this cool, inspiring, wonderful video with you:

This is from the video description:

The Barenaked Ladies, a children's choir, and the commander of the International Space Station. Put them together and what do you get? The first space-to-earth musical collaboration.
The song, "I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing) was commissioned by CBCMusic.ca and The Coalition for Music Education with the Canadian Space Agency to celebrate music education in schools across Canada.


Chris Hadfield from the Canadian Space Agency wrote some of the lyrics for the song and he is doing a lot of outreach about what happens on the I.S.S. He also posts pictures from Space on his Facebook page:

Enjoy!

Cheers from Germany

Thanks, Baerbel! Great to see you again. Love the Barenaked Ladies. In their early days, they turned up at gigs in my hometown, Rochester, NY. Now - yay for them! - they do the theme song for The Big Bang Theory.
