What these men can do with singing will amaze you. No musical instruments were needed.
We always hear good singers from all over as well as great bands, but not everyone can do what these men did with their rendition of the famous Hotel California originally sung by The Eagles.
Below is the original sound track of the song to compare with the one above.

DIRT ON MY BACK
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB.
by Aesof
One hot, sultry day, a Wolf and a Lamb happened
to come, just at the same time, to quench
their thirst in the stream of a clear silver brook,
that ran tumbling down the side of a rocky
mountain. The Wolf stood upon the higher
ground, and the Lamb at some distance from
him down the current. However, the Wolf,
having a mind to pick a quarrel with him,
asked him, what he meant by disturbing the
water, and making it so muddy that he could
not drink and, at the same time, demanded
satisfaction. The Lamb, frightened at this
threatening charge, told him, in a tone as mild
as possible, that, with humble submission, he
could not conceive how that could be, since
the water which he drank, ran down from the
Wolf to him, and therefore it could not be
disturbed so far up the stream. "Be that as it
will" replies the Wolf, '"you are a rascal, and
I have been told that you treated me with ill
language behind my back, about half a year
ago." " Upon my word" says the Lamb, " the
time you mention was before I was born." The
Wolf, finding it to no purpose to argue any
longer against truth, fell into a great passion,
snarling and foaming at the mouth, as if
he had been mad and drawing nearer to
the Lamb, " Sirrah" says he,
"if it was not you, it was your father, and that is all one"
So he seized the poor, innocent, helpless
thing, tore it to pieces, and made a meal
of it.
MORAL:
The thing which is pointed at in this fable
is so obvious, that it will be impertinent to
multiply words about it. When a cruel ill-natured
man has a mind to abuse one inferior
to himself, either in power or courage, though
he has not given the least occasion for it, how
does he resemble the Wolf! whose envious,
rapacious temper could not bear to see innocence
live quietly in its neighborhood. In
short, wherever ill people are in power, innocence
and integrity are sure to be persecuted:
the more vicious the community is, the better
countenance they have for their own villainous
measures. To practice honesty in bad times,
is being liable to suspicion enough; but if any
one should dare to prescribe it, it is ten to one
but he would be impeached of high crimes and
misdemeanors: for to stand up for justice in
a degenerate and corrupt state, is tacitly to
upbraid the government, and seldom fails of
pulling down vengeance upon the head of him
that offers to stir in its defense. Where cruelty
and malice are in combination with power,
nothing is so easy as for them to find a pretense
to tyrannize over innocence, and exercise
all manner of injustice.

A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their migh The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at hi m to stop the pain and just die He jumped even harder and finally made it out When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
This story teaches two lessons
There is power of life and death in the tongue An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day
A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them
So, be careful of what you say
