Flash Mobs

[UncleRogi]

Now, we here are in a unique position to organize such a thing. No one pays attention to us but US
(though I'm sure a couple of 'bots are watching in the interest of "National Security")

My question to our Community is this:

If we were to do such a thing, what song should we choose?

Any thoughts? My first thought, though it be ego-centric, would be Neil Diamonds "America"
Trump non-withstanding...



(EDIT: You Folk are gonna hate me for this...)

What is this, stirring unrest?! Did Putin put you up to this?





Just to be clear, I'm being sarcastic.

LOL no, but I'm curious: what song would be a good choice for a massive flash mob?

The Internationale. If you get enough people to make the news, you could even freak some rich people out with it.

What would you expect this mob to do?

Why do we want to freak some rich people out?

Flash mobs, so 2000s...

Cuz it's fun to watch? Nothing nefarious here, just musing about how us poor shlepps get heard. Besides,
to actually get such a thing organized and choreographed would be a monumental task, and I truly don't
think any of us could maintain interest that long... Season 2 of Discovery is coming...and we
are first and foremost Star Trek fans, after all...



No one else is going to suggest a song?

The only music/dance that comes to mind in relation to flash mobs is this one, that took place in a street market in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 2011.

It never fails to cheer me up.

EDIT: Sorry, it's Antwerp, not Geneva.

Fatboy Slim’s “Praise You”

Because it’s a flash mob.

That reminds me of a time when our family was strolling the Market area one winter. We came upon a busker, and my brother started dancing to his music (in his snowsuit no less) and made him quite a bit of money in the end, and the busker gave him a bit of money. This was late 80's/early 90's. Sadly, the Market area has changed a lot in recent years and it's not really the safe place it used to be. Lots of drugs and violence now. We had our vehicle broken into at a nearby carpark last time we were there.

This is the first flash mob event I ever heard of. It was written up in an article; there wasn't any video available, so this is my first time seeing it.
