Number 5: Oprah Flash Mob

During The Oprah Show's 24th season kickoff party, Harpo staff and more than 20,000 people pulled off a massive surprise for an unsuspecting Oprah. The entire crowd performed a choreographed piece to the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," and Oprah was not only shocked, she was thrilled! Award-winning director Michael Gracey says the interaction between the Black Eyed Peas and the crowd is what made the flash mob so extraordinary.

"There's something really special when you take an audience and instead of just being passive and watching, you invite them to participate," he says. "That's why it was so magical for both parties. Two groups of people came together to create something that neither of them could have done alone."

There is also a making of video of this one here: http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/The-Making-of-Oprahs-Flash-Mob-Dance-Video

Number 4: Liverpool

There are many ways to kill time while waiting for your train - read a paper, grab a sandwich . . . break into a synchronised dance?  It certainly got the attention of commuters at Liverpool Street Station, as 400 strangers - including tourists and Underground staff - suddenly leaped into action, busting out a co-ordinated mix of hip-hop, disco and ballroom moves right in the middle of the London station.

Number 2: Grand Central Station, The Sound Of Music

More than 200 dancers were performing their version of "Do Re Mi", in the Central Station of Antwerp. with just 2 rehearsals they created this amazing stunt! Those 4 fantastic minutes started the 23 of march 2009, 08:00 AM. It is a promotion stunt for a Belgian television program, where they are looking for someone to play the leading role, in the musical of "The Sound of Music".

Number 1: MC Hammer Pants Flash Mob

Number one on this list is one of my hands-down all time favorites.  A group of dancers take over a Macy's department store, all wearing gold MC-Hammer pants and proceed to dance to "Cant Touch This".
