Mr. Joel Wertheimer, the civil rights activist tweeted, "Had a really tough week and tonight I was on the subway and some buy walks between train cars, shirtless, bumping a speaker.I wasn't in the mood for showtime particularly. But sometimes people and life surprises you and a little magic happens."

Many people took to Twitter to appreciate the impromptu singalong in the New York subway.train.

My family and I were on this same car. Thanks so much for sharing this moment of NY magic. Tho, you missed the best part: when you all belted out the high part, “Don’t want to hear you...!” Also that collective groan when he walked off before the song ended. And applause.❤️

I used to feel public music was really intrusive. A friend told me they loved it, "it's like I'm in a movie and this is the soundtrack." That shift changed it for me. Even if I'm in a lousy mood, happy music has a certain irony.

Seeing complete strangers, of all different races and backgrounds, bonding together in this fashion puts the biggest smile on my face.
