The Langley Schools Music Project is a collection of recordings of children's choruses singing pop hits by the Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, and others.

Fred Schneider (B-52s) called the project "a haunting, evocative wall-of-sound experience that is affecting in an incredibly visceral way".

[9] David Bowie said the version of "Space Oddity" was "a piece of art that I couldn't have conceived of", describing the vocals as "earnest if lugubrious" and the backing arrangement as "astounding".

Screenwriter Mike White's concept for the 2003 hit film School of Rock was inspired by the Langley CD.

[11] When Spike Jonze approached Karen O to write the soundtrack to Where The Wild Things Are, he gave Innocence and Despair as an example of the desired "simple melodies that were emotionally complex—something that both kids and adults would appreciate".
