[@happycake7412]

DJ Dan Murphy sorry im 2 weeks away thanks for making this. It was my childhood

[@DJDanMurphy]

@@happycake7412 I'm so glad you liked it - thank you! :) :)

[@thesilvereyes5289]

i feel old

[@indianamoonrose1660]

I was in this! i'm the little girl in pink and camo, i had just turned 6 at the time. I remember having a blast rehearsing and performing this! I rembember showing this to absolutely everyone, because I thought it was so cool that i was in a video like this. And now over FIVE MILLION people have seen it! This will always be a core memory for me :)

[@PrinceAdam137]

Wowzers … burst into tears only 17 seconds into it and cried the whole way through … absolutely stunning performance!!!

[@courtneyact]

Congratulations guys! A fabulous piece of cyber space camp!

Bondi, for a New Yorker, who at 18, traveled to Australia to stay with cousins in St. Ives, N. Suburbs of Sydney ('Snives', some called it, appropriately), there you are in the middle of a large city, modern, etc...walk about and BOOM, there in front of you, Bondi, spread out so beautifully (taking away the Box Jellies and sharks that venture in occasionally) in the middle of an urban area. Amazing to see and go to. People incredibly friendly and open minded. Loved every moment of that year.

[@TheRyanLamont]

Flash mobs look like so much fun!

[@iCarolyn1]

gotta agree its on my bucket list to be in one

[@2eleven48]

Bugger me, still watching this years on in June, 2024. Still so funny, so clever, so thrilling. Bless Joyce (and Shane) and all those involved in this memorable moment. Robert, uk.

[@macrameschool]

! warm and fun - well done !

[@jaypea51]

This is one of the BEST flash mob performances worldwide. You guys created a crowd pleaser--there was no one left without a smile. Bravo and Cheers!!

[@alysonrodrigues1492]

Gosh I love being from Australia. :3 You guys are awesome.

[@juliag6742]

Fan Friggin Tastic MATES ! Its amazing how stuff like this can be done. you guys rock !!

[@jenniferhousemann6295]

Jeez, this is simply fantastic on sooooooooo many levels

[@ImpaledCF]

Things like this restore my faith in humanity.

[@beachsandinspector]

13 years later I still love this :)

[@billnj2006]

This has to be the best Flash Mob I have ever seen. I have to agree with lesley pearson, this should happen more often, look how the had that beach rockin' Fucking Brilliant!

[@NortiusMaximus]

Bill Carnevale worst flash mob

[@mstrleo]

Well Made. One of the BEST on here.

[@opononi19]

Im gonna add being in a flash mob to my bucket list..

[@bestblondie]

Pure Joy! Thank you............

[@Vercinger]

Good boy you saw that.. They almost tried to make sure you didnt, but you were too amazing to miss it! :O

[@croguy]

All I can do is feel happy and say THANK YOU !

[@jimmywrangles]

This is what people are meant to do. This is who we are. Armies of flash mobs singing and dancing not armies with guns. God bless everyone. :)

[@DJDanMurphy]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 💖💖💖

[@chiefredwater1965]

I cannot help but love these things. it only brings happiness. Just sadly for me not going to beaches....... too many beautiful people to be tempted to look at....I'll step on someone!

[@friendly.fire.]

Shark One to Shark Two: "Hey man we're covered. I hired out a flash mob to distract everyone while we nab ourselves a meal."

[@MrJimijazz149]

that is FABULOUS!!!!!!! more flash mobs...everywhere!!! more, more, more!

[@91saira]

Is it just me or when people do things in a group like this it makes me tear up a little?

[@isabellind1292]

IKR?! I don't think I've watched one when I didn't get emotional, especially "Do Re Mi" at Antwerp Train Sta. and "Mama Mia" at the Madrid "IKEA"! I'd love to see a flash mob in person!😊💃🕺🎵🌏🌞

[@bocaitalian]

In the Beginning, the young two guys one with the pinkish board shorts with the white hibiscus flowers on them,and the other with the green shit are the best dancers ever. Especially the pinkish shorts guy..Not only good,but so damn handsome...WOOF@!

[@bocaitalian]

I could people watch all day on that beach,but stay out of the water..Too many sharks, just about as bad as South Florida.

[@OnlyANickel]

+bocaitalian Not inside the nets, perfectly safe :)

[@DJDanMurphy]

That's our choreographer David Olsen! He's fab. :)

[@DJDanMurphy]

@@bocaitalian lol no sharks on Bondi, you'll be fine! ;)

Wonderful Show.... Living The Good Life..Fantastic...

[@lesjackson1]

TO Ryan Lamont I agree it looks BUZZIN they should do more of this all OVER THE UNIVERSE, maybe we would all be better off hey instead of in such a rage all the time x

[@Thrill-Team-Events-Activities]

Wonderful diva kicking off on the Bondi Beach sands smashing it out with Love Shack, into a Beyonce and grooving with YMCA then Jump. Terrific fun mix for entertaining the bronzed Aussie masses. Sensational!

[@JamesFisk1970]

[@SoFreshSoClean97]

Best flash mob by far of all the ones i have seen in youtube

Everyone is not straight,which rock do you live under? Take it for what it is ,pure fun it lifts your spirit up to watch these things,rather than doom and gloom all the time

[@bocaitalian]

+Ray Trewin All I know is the first guy to stand up and dance in the red & white flowered board shorts is a great dancer and HOT as hell..Man I wish I was on that beach,layin next to him..Australia has the hottest men..Can;t wait to go..I;ll never come back to the states. Well I admit what Rock I live on top of

[@bocaitalian]

+bocaitalian How many more will?

[@gabewongsyd]

what an awesome video. just the way social media ought to be. generating conversations! well done MG and dan murphy, you rock!

[@agonyscenegirl]

Its so lovely to see a bunch of strangers having fun, because stuff like this does not happen every day. I would much rather see a million people smile over one unhappy. The world takes everything so seriously now days instead of just smiling and letting it all go and just having pure fun!!!!!!

[@michaelintheclouds]

Brilliant! Those lifesavers are HAWT!

[@FoohyPink]

I can't stop watching this!!

[@jmalefr]

Still an a amazing performance!

Thanks Robert - 10 year anniversary today! 💖💖💖

[@2eleven48]

@@DJDanMurphy ...Jeez, still watching this in 2021, and still, at 72, loving every moment. Bless dear Joyce. Robert, UK.

[@2eleven48]

Still watching this at 73, and still loving every moment of it. It needs recognition, as does the Sydney House flashmob with Joyce, as a historical record of a part of Australian identity by the government.

[@silverasian]

the beach is probably the best place to have a flash mob really, because there are so many people around

[@blacky70]

You so need to organize another one of these!!

[@Phopchas]

Happy Summer Sydney!!

[@juflagger]

I am part of this dance thing and I did enjoy every single moment from the rehersals till the day that we danced on the beach... It was just amazing!!! :)

[@rdlbr]

Love it! I saw some brazilian things. A Copacabana and a Flag beach towel.

[@loclnor]

Just love this - it's cold and wet in UK and this is just what we Brits need - roll on summer!!!
