Relaxnews

Wednesday 10 August 2011

A rendition of Adele's hit single "Rolling In The Deep" by members of the United States Air Force has gone viral on YouTube.

The video shows a group of men and one woman wearing fatigues and performing the cover.

It was uploaded on August 8 by YouTube user AreYouSuprised and as of August 10 had been viewed well over 100,000 times and been featured on the YouTube Trends blog.

Despite the popularity of the video, the military singers still have a long way to go before matching Adele's original version, which currently has over 108 million YouTube views.
