When I was living overseas, I remember quite clearly. They ran a special "sing-a-long" edition of the movie "Sound of Music" in London's West End. Everyone got into it...singing coming from all directions around us. Like being smack in the middle of a choral group.

I went to see the same movie here in the States, and only eight people showed up. And.....not one of them sang the captioned words!

I also remember playing pubs all around London and working men's clubs in the North. Not a single person did NOT sing.
