All the fun coordinated playtime stuff happens on Trafalgar Square. It gets Beatles karaoke (courtesy of T-Mobile!), it gets turfed, and on Saturday it hosted the largest-ever flashmob to dance to Thriller in tandem.

The event was organized on Facebook and Twitter to celebrate the King of Pop’s 51st birthday. The video makes it all feel frenetic and cumbersome, but hey, whaddaya want, it’s a bunch of fans on a mission.

Speaking of fans on a mission, remember that one time a sadistic jailer forced 1500 inmates at a Cebu prison to dance to Thriller? Oh, MJ, you impacted the world in ways you probably never imagined.
