If you've never heard of Improv Everywhere, you have now! This is a group of everyday people, not necessarily actors or singers, they can be volunteers from the New York area, and they go around doing spontaneous acts of hilarity. Why? Just to mess with people's heads and get a few good laughs out of them while they're at it!
In this creation, the good folks at Improv Everywhere assembled a team of about 6 singers, and planted them at strategic spots in a grocery store. Once the song came on the intercom (a musical instrumental piece, since the singers provided the vocals) they sprung into action. It started with one man singing about his "lonely fruit", and eventually spiraled into a musical about "squishing fruits together", consisting of numerous singers dancing, singing, and waving fruit in the air, whilst all the customers in the fruit and vegetable aisle were left in awe. Sounds corny (pardon the pun), but it worked out beautifully! The camera work was superb, with numerous cameras placed around the event in order to capture the faces of not just the singers, but also the unsuspecting grocery store shoppers. The main camera was a front-on view of the whole cast singing, and it made for something truly magical. It definitely brought a smile to my face! :)
