Everyone knows the song “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond. Its a classic hit that you can’t help but sing to whether you’re in the car, at a wedding, or the event it’s most played at- baseball games. It’s an All- American song that gets everyone singing no matter what.
One group of people that typically aren’t too fond of the song, are those with the name Caroline. Its considered a tired joke that never goes away thanks to the fact that their name is the basis for the whole tune. But when these Marines starting singing the song to their flight attendant, she couldn’t help but sing and dance along as the whole plane chanted.
It all started when the group of soldiers on their way home from deployment discovered that the flight attendants name was Caroline. Someone started singing the song to her which led to others joining in and pretty soon someone was playing the song out loud and the whole plane was singing every word. Luckily, someone pulled out their camera and recorded the whole thing.
Clearly embarrassed, the flight attendant tried to cover her face and play it off. But when it was clear these anxious soldiers weren’t letting up she sang and danced along with them. At one point she even tried to start a wave.
The other attendants look slightly annoyed as they moved around the girl getting serenaded. But it’s obvious everyone on the plane is having a good time, which can be rare, so they let it go and continue on with their job (more than likely singing the catchy tune to themselves).
After a couple minutes the song fades and the group gets a little less into and more into getting the plane off the ground so they can get home to their families. I’m sure the Marine that posted it never would have thought that it would end up being this popular.
Since being posted the video has racked up millions of views from people all over the world. Everyone commenting on how ‘sweet’ the choir is and how they miss spontaneous things like this happening.
The video is such a good example of a group of people just making the most out of a mundane day to day experience. Their singing didn’t make the plane take of faster, but it probably made the waiting a little more bearable. In times like these, it’s important to remember the little things that bring us together. Even if it’s as simple as an old Neil Diamond song.
