Listening to Bizet's Carmen (with the magnificent Leontyne Price as Carmen and the Vienna Boys Choir as the Urchin chorus, of course), there is a part that is played by the Urchins that brings to mind the boys at AINA and Beth. At this point in the opera, a gaggle of children are playing soldier on the street, trying their best to act just like the grown-up soldiers. If only the boys at AINA and Beth were so cute.

Translated into English from the French:
URCHINS:
With the relief guard
we come; here we are.
Blow your trumpet!
Taratata, taratata!
We march, heads up
like little soldiers,
keeping time with no mistake,
one, two, keeping time.
Shoulders back,
chest out,
arms like this
straight against the body.
With the relief guard.
