My sister sent me the link to the following this morning. I went out looking to find out what I could about it, and found another blog where the blogger wrote:
Not since Improv Everywhere's Food Court Musical have I been so pleased by a surprise musical number in a public place. This time the setting is Central Train Station in Antwerp, Belgium and the vehicle is Julie Andrew's voice singing "Do A Deer" from The Sound of Music over the loud speaker. First, just a man and a young girl start to dance as if drawn in by the song. Gradually, the few become a crowd that exudes joy.
Although this singing and dancing number might have been inspired by Improv Everywhere's antics, particularly Frozen Grand Central, this stunt is part of an ad campaign for a reality TV show. Regardless, the result is superb. This starts out slow and then builds as more and more people join in. I dare you to not hum a few bars.
What I did today to make the world a better place: Agreed to serve on a committee at my workplace to figure out ways to make our office more green (i.e., environmentally responsible.)

I saw this the other day and was completely charmed. I defy anyone to watch that and not have a smile on their face by the end.

I saw this one earlier, too and it's great (reminds me of a scene in 'The Fisher King' where everyone in Grand Central Station starts dancing.) Thanks for the links to the other events. Wonderful stuff!

"Do A Deer"

Um, I really hope you mean Doe, a Deer. :-)

Well, yes, of course--but the lyrics are referring to the musical notes written "Do, Re, Mi," etc, which is why it's spelled that way.
