The busker who accidentally started a choir

One guitar, one old song, and forty strangers singing on a footpath.

He was playing to nobody in particular outside a chemist. Then one woman sang along, quietly. Then a bloke with shopping bags joined in. By the second chorus there were forty people on the footpath, harmonising badly and loving it.

Music does that. It gives people permission to be unselfconscious in public for three and a half minutes.

Which song would get you singing in the street?
