― simon 803 (simon 803), Thursday, 3 April 2003 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

"Ederlezi", the fantastic song by Goran Bregovic,
has been recorded in a number of different versions but each that i've heard has either a children's chorus or a conspicuously young lead vioce on it...
on GB's Silence Of The Balkans album the soloist is Vaska Jankovska - backed by an orchestra, a doom-voiced male chorus and a battery of electronic beats. majestic, mournful ,captivating. blows my mind every time i hear it.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Thursday, 3 April 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Thursday, 3 April 2003 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Also "It Fell Off The Back Of A Lorry" by Denim. I think. Was the song even called that?

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Thursday, 3 April 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

sandinsta also has a children version of guns of brixton.

bowies 'thursdays child' was going to have children doing BVs on the chorus.

ahmet (or possibly dwezil) zappa did a version of 'i dont wanna get drafted' [on the lost episodes, i think]and is either young or doing a fine impression of being a child

― big d (big d), Thursday, 3 April 2003 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Busta Rhymes - "Get Out"
Frank Zappa - "Valley Girl" (Moon was only 14 at the time)

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Thursday, 3 April 2003 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

how could i forget valley girl?

stevie wonders children make apperances in some of his songs [notably 'isnt she lovely' and 'do like you'] but thses probably dont count as there not singing.

― big d (big d), Thursday, 3 April 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Caetano Veloso - "If You Hold A Stone"

Magical Power Mako - "Open the Morning Window, The Sunshine Comes In, The Hope of Today is Small Bird Singing"

Annette Peacock - "Did You Hear Me Mommy?" (has her daughter not singing, but talking and playing the piano)

Hate to be a pedant, but to the person who cited the Stones' "Can't Always Get What You Want" - no way, that is a full-on adult choir.

Kent: "Dom som försvann"

Towards the end of the song, the children's choir repeats the phrase "Man blir trött på ditt jävla gnäll" to the fadeout. This translates as "One gets tired of your fucking nagging". Possibly the only case of a song with kids swearing in them (well, apart from the occasional hip-hop track, I guess).
