Another local example of a hilarious video that went viral is the Portland Gay Men's Chorus rendition of "St. Francis de la Sissies", this silent version of the Hallelujah Chorus with a bunch of "monks" who have taken a vow of silence and "sing" with flash cards is absolutely hilarious.

Posted for local friends, it took off and now has almost 1.1 million views and has been copied by a number of choruses who have posted their own versions.  Pretty funny to see a Baptist Choir mimicking a Gay Chorus!
