I am currently in London, and yesterday I met up with a friend who I hadn't seen in 9 years or so. Well, she plays in a brass band and she invited me to a concert. I thought it was going to be rather lame, but once they got the choir out, they started singing this:

Definitely not something you get treated to every day.
