Hallelujah! (The Monks in Drag)

I sporfled.  I seriously sporfled.

Monks in drag, dressed as nuns, who have taken a vow of silence, "singing" in the Hallelujah chorus.

Listen to the intro... because it's funnier if you know the back-story.  But DAMN IT, I wish I could read the last few things, but the video is too blurry!  (You'll see what I mean when you get there.  Let me know if you can read it, because I want to know!) 

You can see other performances by the same group by following the links to "similar" videos.  The performance is different every time.  :)

By the way... how do you embed a video?

In the comments it said on their backs it says 'meet us in the lobby, some of us are single.' And then a phone number.

You copy the embed link on YouTube, for example. Then when you go to Livejournal, select HTML and it will have an icon that resembles a disc which represents Embed Media.
On someone else's comment section, however, you just post the embed link as is.

Like so:



Hawkapella (worth watching the whole way through)
University of Hartford a cappella chorus
Their other songs are really a trip.

Wonderful stuff! That made me go search for the Seattle Men's Chorus - unfortunately their annual holiday show isn't on youtube, but you'll probably enjoy "Epiphany":

LOL wish I had understood more of what they were talking about. :D

To embedd: there is a box on youtube for the embed code, (on the right under the summary, but press Ctrl+F and search for the text Embed if you can't find it) which you need to copy and paste into your entry, just like those quizzie results.

Uh, there's nothing there.

There's nothing there. No picture. *blinks*

We need to sort out why your computer isn't showing the embedded links, because I can see them just fine.

That's too weird! I was about to re-embed it, but I'm glad I checked, and it's there, so it must be your computer. If you still can't see it, then here's the link.

Ha! That's what I was thinking, but then I was afraid I was just seeing him everywhere.

Like here, for instance:



(Mijan, if you can't see the vid you must click this link.)

That was hilarious! Thanks for sharing it!

I'm trying to remember what I did a few months back, because I was having difficulty viewing them as well. I know that I changed one of my LJ settings. It happened just after I moved, too.

Good Luck.

Gods, that's beautiful and so emotionally-charged... *le sigh*

Try this...

Go to settings. Where it says Video placeholders, see if you have that ticky box checked. If you do, untick it. Hopefully that will help.
