Voices of Washington: Washington DC Complaints Choir (Pachelbel's Canon)

AUDITION to join Voices of Washington! Visit www.voicesofwashington.org

The Finnish word 'valitskuoro' literally means a 'choir of complaints.' It's used to describe a lot of people complaining at once. The Finnish artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oilver Kochta-Kalleinen decided to take this description literally and organize a chorus of people to sing their complaints. Beginning with the Helsinki Complaints Choir, these videos have hit the internet from all around the world: becoming an international, multi-lingual project with complaints choirs in every corner of the globe. Voices of Washington decided to do its own Washington DC complaints choir for its maiden voyage. Artistic Director Evan Tucker gathered hundreds of complaints about DC from his friends and made a song out of them: often taking their complaints word-for-word with all the vulgarity intact. The end result, we'll sure you agree, is a Complaints Choir unlike any other.

@lwmcmaho and yet they have no complaint song. hmmm.

Excellent work, pretty much hit all the points I'd agree with. Ridic traffic cirlces? check! Chinatown isn't Chinese? check!  DC's snow day freakouts? check! Redskins are massively overrated? Check! Marion Berry snark? Check And Metro escalator and Taxation without representation griping would have been mandatory. One thing you missed was making fun of the all.the.joggers.
