I just discovered "Flash Mob" videos on YouTube.

Some are really classy.

I think if I came across something like this it would make my day,

as long as it didn't hold up traffic.

My mother sang it as "all men are brothers" in Yiddish when she heard it.

Art Belongs To All Of Us.

Share a flash mob video. Or not.

My all time favorite flash mob music video. The children in the audience are wonderful. --FLO--

It matters when you can "feel" the music. Like those low note percussions on the stomach and chest.

It goes beyond just hearing it. I suspect other sensations too.

Moi, people have always felt the music, the kind of music does not matter as much as that it moves you.

Different feel the music.

I am speaking of the feeling of an umm pa pa tuba in front of you as opposed to hearing a recording of the same volume.

Methinks you speak of my mother getting emotional at times listening to a scratchy record. Remember records ?

This is the video that got me to search other more interesting flash mob vids.

Enjoy. Or not.

Ode to Joy, linked above is a little bit better because of the children. There is joy here too.

Not all great flash mobs are musical. Here's one of my favorites – a performance of Rembrandt!

The Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands had an idea: Let's bring the art to the people and then, hopefully, they will come to see more - at the museum. They took one Rembrandt painting from 1642, Guards of the Night, and brought to life the characters in it, placed them in a busy shopping mall, and the rest you can see for yourself!

A behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the performance:

I loved it, watched it several times.

These flash mobs are talented and artistic.

Not just a road obstruction.

I am surprised malls don't try get some to attract holiday shoppers for the experience.

I still like Ode to Joy
