That's a lot of singing and dancing, my friends. Too much, some might say.
The makers of Glee have chosen a version of Shout - in this case performed by New Directions - for performance No. 500.
I'm assuming the kids from Glee won't be as drunk as Bluto and the boys were when they were dancing and singing along with Shout - in that case performed by Otis Day and the Knights - in Animal House.
