@chrismaxim1 Hi, how have you been?.Happy new year!. Thanks for answering so soon. I never said that the Choir sings in 'LA EXTRAÑA POSICIÓN' is the Choir of St. Matthews Bethnal Green... Let me explain better!: On back-cover art of vinyl of Maxi-single of Mecano entitled NO PINTAMOS NADA (new industrial version) appears in credits of LA EXTRAÑA POSICIÓN this it just way I'm going to write here: 'The Choir of the Church of St. Mathews of London' (sic)...
@chrismaxim1 ...doesn't mention information more, no specifically details about what is that church, because I know there are several churches in London called ´St. Matthews´. / If at any time you manage to decipher what the choir is singing, do not hesitate to let me know please.
In both versions you can hear a Coral singing a requiem in Latin. Nacho Cano hired the Choir of the Church of St. Matthews in London for them to sing that piece of the song. The favor I ask is that you hear “LA EXTRAÑA POSICION”, try to understand what's Choir is singing, write the text in Latin and Spanish translations too.
That's the favor I want to ask. There is also another song of MECANO called “NO ES SERIO ESTE CEMENTERIO” and end of the song, Ana Torroja seems to sing (in backing-vocals) this: "Finis gloriæ mundi homini", well, at least that's what she said sing there.
For an amateur choir, the standard of performance is beyond belief - the more so if the practice sessions are only held on a weekly basis. I see that many (if not all) the participants are well-versed musicians in any case, but that cannot be allowed to detract from the sheer hard work and discipline needed to produce this kind of magic.

Wow. This is probably the best version up right now. Maybe more consonant, it gets kind of hard to understand the words. Keep it up.
