PHY: Israeli Kids Take On Taylor Swift

It’s December and that means finals. Finals finals finals. So, I have taken it upon myself to provide you all with as much fun/distraction as I can during the next two weeks. Welcome to Procratination Ha’Yom, a week-long series of funny videos, websites, articles, and pictures that will do nothing to help you get that A, but everything to help keep you sane.

I’m going to give you an easy one today:

Unless you’ve been living in a sound-proof cave, then you’ve probably sung along soulfully  rocked out to countless songs from Taylor Swift’s new album, Red. I don’t think a Saturday night has gone by where I haven’t heard the distant echoes of drunk voices screaming the lyrics to her insta-classic “I Knew You Were Touble”  (I- Knew- You- Were- Trouble- When- You- Waaaalked- In… So Shame On Me Yaaahaa).

But, life has just gotten better. As T-swift let us all know on Twitter earlier this week, an Israeli youth rock group (Artik Music School) composed and uploaded a full instrumental cover of the hit song “I Knew You Were Trouble.” Cut to a music room full of adorable Israeli children straining to sing English with no accent and actually sounding pretty darn good. Some of these kids must be at most six years old!

Watch for yourself. (Props if you can find the Fight Club poster hanging in the background.)
