This reminds me of one of my favorite scenes in the movie *High Fidelity*. Record store owner Rob Gordon (John Cusack) announces to his staff, "I will now sell five copies of *The Three EPs* by The Beta Band," and puts "Dry the Rain" on the store's stereo. Immediately, all of the heads of the store's customers start bobbing in time with the music ... as was mine in the theater.
