Yeah! I've seen a few workshop-like sessions on TV with Bobby McFerrin and he's brilliant.
Loved that, dancing all over our brains!

Very interesting video, Matt

I like his comment on the fact that every crowd he tried that, responded in the same way.

Thanks Cosmic for the link and Matt for bringing this up. I just watched the entire hour or more, long session from this series: Notes & Neurons - In Search of the Common Chorus.
