You've all seen the various videos of Flash Mobs doing dance routines set to music in public places.
So what song of Jimmy's would make a good Flash Mob dance routine?
And where should it take place?
I'm gonna have to think about it myself before I give an answer.
What Jimmy Buffett song would make a good "Flash Mob" song?

One Particular Harbor
Perhaps at the Baltimore Harbor .... excellent location. Downtown. Harbor water front. Crowd would be mostly tourists but a mix of business suits as well. The "flash mob" would dress the same of course, all the more to make it appear spontaneous.
Great idea. Wish I'd thought of it.

Since flash mobs have a visual element, I think it would have to be Fins, right?

Re: What Jimmy Buffett song would make a good "Flash Mob" song?
My first thought was "Fins"....dancing and then going into the "fin to the left..." participation we all do at concerts would give non-fans a taste of the fun we have at a show......another one I'd love to see is "Floridays", done at Mallory Square at Sunset.....if someone sets that up, I'll be there

"Fins" in Cincinnati, the day before the concert. I don't know where, but I'm there next year ! Sounds like fun.

Re: What Jimmy Buffett song would make a good "Flash Mob" song?
I can see Fins working because it has a built in movement and getting everyone together to rehearse would be problematic at best. To make it less obvious though all those who would be there should NOT be dressed in their parrothead regalia.

I think doing Fins is an awesome idea!!! I love OPH, but can't see where it would be as fun to dnace to. An as previously stated, everyone putting their fins up would be an awesome visual!

Logistical-type question here: Where does the music come from??
And if it isn't actually playing on-site but is added to the video after the fact, what keeps all the dancers in sync?

Wow, those are really cool pics. Action shots for sure. They seem to really capture the fun at the show that I relate to.
