A Flash Mob idea...just waiting to happen?? :-)

During the last week, I did some singing with some of the younger classes. It's always great to discover that young people are enjoying classic songs that I grew up with when I was young! We sang a whole variety of songs from One Direction (!!) "What makes you beautiful" - through the ever-popular Beatles (Yesterday, Hey Jude) and even some good old rock like Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water'....
But I confess, one of my favourite songs whilst at SGO is "We will rock you" by Queen. It is great to get the students clapping & drumming the rhythm on those wooden desks...with a couple of volunteers belting out the song (and I, being a frustrated rock singer, will help them out too ;-))...

There is an interesting story for Czechs which is connected with this song. I found the following information on the internet:
"In a magazine interview with Brain May: Queen decided that it needed a simple, anthemic tune that could connect with the audience. The morning after the show, May woke up with a stomp-stomp-clap beat rolling around in his head. To accompany that big rhythm, he sat down and wrote depressing lyrics that described the futility of man. The lyrics begin with a young man dreaming of a better life, in the second stanza the boy is now a young man battling to reach lofty goals and the song ends with an old mans dreams unfulfilled. The chorus is not a rally call. It is a Czech lullaby which a parent promises a child " we will, we will rock you." 

Isn't that cool to know that this great rock song is linked with a Czech lullaby? :-)

Anyway...to my idea. Flash Mobs have been very popular, but as yet, I have never experienced one...and certainly not in Olomouc (or Velka Bystrice...) But watch the following video clip (from the old comedy show "Cheers") and imagine this happening in a pub/restaurant/public place in that town...

Do you think it could work? :-)
