The priests spent too much time touching the kids rather then teaching them the words.

For those who are asking WTF... Consider getting getting out a bit more and seeing the world beyond Internet vids. Get a bit of culture or something. This is classic stuff, and yes it IS for real... No, it has nothing to do with special ed. But it IS meant to be funny. (Just in a 19th century sort of way).
It's called "Duetto buffo di due gatti" which means: Humorous Duet for Two Cats in Italian and was written in the early 19th century (around 1820 or so).
Even though it's usually credited to the classical composer G. Rossini, it was actually written by someone else in Rossini's style, based on some other operas Rossini composed already.
I would agree with a "Weird" classification but not for the reason you might think. It's "weird" because it's a boys' choir performing it... Usually it's done as a solo (duet) for two (female) sopranos. Sometimes it's done as a fun encore following a more serious performance.
In terms of the boys' performance itself, I found it rather lackluster. Sure they are in-tune and have nice voices... But it's not enough. They sing it deadpan and expressionless. It's devoid of any feeling and passion. They are singing it as if it were just a recital piece rather than than the operatic aria it's supposed to represent.
Truth be told, there are VERY few performances of this pieces that are actually well performed. I don't think I've ever heard a version that I've thought was adequate.
This one comes close, by Spanish singers and actresses Montserrat Caballé & Concha Velasco:

Another, not-so-good-quality vid is this one (same singers, better costumes, German pre-amble).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jsqnnIzohA&feature=related
The interpretation of this one is very, very good. The first "cat" with a picture of a lover... And the "hissing" in the middle of the bit is great!

Finally, a Russian version performed in Moscow:

I like their expressions in that one. The interpretation is very nice.
