Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters," as sung by a choir of Indian school children

When we were in grade school, our choir used to sing old chestnuts like "Tie a Yellow Ribbon," which is probably why joining the choir seemed like slightly less fun than getting our lunch money stolen. But the times, they are a changin'. At least in India, they are. Yeah,...

Yeah, India.

Apparently, in India, choir teachers are down with Metallica, because that's what this kids' choir is singing. And really, the kids are doing a pretty damn good job of it. The video is pretty static and the audio quality is mediocre, but really, when you have an Indian kids' choir belting out Metallica, dare we say that "Nothing Else Matters"?
