Music
Two songs, one girls choir, one boys choir. (Should those be possessives? Girl's choir? Boys' choir? I have never been able to work that one out.)

octopedingenue, Scala's cover of Walking After You (YSI). Listen to it and feel the MSR.
And because I really like it, Libera's version of Gaudete (YSI).
Gaudete is actually a Christmas song. It's a bit odd for me to be pushing Xmas stuff on you, since it's not a holiday I celebrate and in fact is a holiday I particularly dislike. But this is a lovely traditional carol in Latin and it doesn't enrage me like a mall PA-system classic carol might.

I have no X-Files icon, so the gay Mulder/Scully will have to do
I ADORE Scala and I didn't know they'd done a cover of "Walking After You"!! Oh, Fight the Future, how fond I am of you and your stupid stupid bees with bad timing. *holds up

Weren't there singing fish in a Dr Seuss book? Hmm.

Probably in many Dr Seuss books. There were a lot of fish.

BWAhahahah yes exactly.

All of their albums are lovely, though I'm of the opinion that their self-titled debut is best in terms of composition and performance. If you don't already have it, I can upload a few tracks. *always happy to pimp*

Thanks very much for sharing this version of Gaudete. I've always enjoyed this song, but I only knew of one version (the one by Steeleye Span). I tend to associate traditional Latin songs with male voices for some reason, so I'm glad to hear it sung by Libera.
As for the girls/boys choir question, my interpretation is that it's a descriptive case, not a possessive one. The choir is made up of girls; the choir doesn't belong to the girls. I don't know it that makes sense. I think it's "Vienna Boys Choir", but I could be wrong.
On the other hand, "Mens/Womens" Choir doesn't look right (although I have seen it). Maybe it's because "Man" and "woman" have irregular plurals? I give up.
By the way, I would feel guilty if I didn't mention how much I'm enjoying your analysis of the PoT eps. I'm just too bashful to comment.

This is the only version of Guaudete that I have, but I see a bunch of others on iTunes, so maybe I should make a collection (like my Ring of Fire covers collection). It's such a great song. I'm glad I could share it.
The descriptive vs possessive thing is a tricky one! Because wouldn't it be "Men Choir" in that case? "Choir of Men" would work, but sound dorky. Hmm, one of the great problems of our time. *g*
I'm glad you're enjoying the PoT ep posts! Do comment if you would like to, but don't feel like you have to either.

And another song in common! How many versions of Ring of Fire are there? Other than the original, I've only heard Social D's take on it. Just for the sake of variety, I'm kind of curious to know if there's a decent version where the singer's voice isn't quite as rough around the edges and whether it's been covered by a woman. I don't have too much trouble imagining Melissa Etheridge doing it.
