      Public group singing is an Estonian specialty, as JohanPar notes below. There’s a pretty cool documentary called The Singing Revolution, about how they peacefully resisted Soviet occupation through song.

      What would you expect from a people that does this kind of thing every now and then? That’s what Estonians do - gather around and sing. Wikipedia will tell you it happens only every five years, but as someone who has lived next to the grounds in the video for over a decade, let’s say that they’re quite wrong.
