According to Metro.co.uk, a video clip of children from Wattville primary school in Birmingham, England singing IRON MAIDEN's 1983 classic "Flight Of Icarus" has become one of the most shared videos on YouTube this week. The four-minute clip shows the children singing the song while headbanging and later engaging in a bit of classic air guitar. Some of the children even have fake plastic guitars with them as the chant they way through the tune.

The video, which can be seen below, was uploaded on YouTube on Tuesday and has already been watched by over 44,000 people and "liked" 688 times.

The song is part of Kerrang! magazine's Cash For Kids charity which is aiming to "raise funds for sick and underprivileged children across Birmingham and the West Midlands to help local kids in crisis."
