Temasek Poly Students’ ‘I Want It That Way’ Backstreet Boys Remake Goes Viral Worldwide

What do you do when the lecturer is late for class?

Hint:

Yup, when school gets too mundane, just brighten it up by filming a parody of classic hits that’ll make you famous.

That’s exactly what a group of Temasek Poly boys did.

The students recorded a video of them singing to Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way’ in their lecture hall.

Yes, it’s Temasek Poly Boys this time. Not Backstreet Boys, okay.

This viral rendition involves table step-ing, cupboard hiding and some pretty awesome singing.

And who knew a Pokka Green Tea bottle would be a suitable mike replacement idea?
