00:30an anthem.

00:31So it's since gained incredible success and we're delighted that we get to use it for

00:35this year's flash mob.

00:41so it's bigger than Ben Hur but as part of the festival we actually have a spontaneous

00:45flash mob that pops up and performs and that's a sample of that today and Ocean's song is

00:51being used for that purpose as well.
