Flash mob on Twitter: when to play a song to welcome 2018 the right way
Twitter users are participating in a new flash mob: they offer to start listening to certain songs a few minutes (or seconds) before the new year, in order to hear something very correct at midnight sharp.
"If you play Frank Ocean's 'Skyline To' on December 31 at 11:59:31 pm, as soon as 2017 is over, Frank will say, 'This year has gone by pretty fast.'"
“If you play Niall Horan's 'The Tide' on Dec 31 at 11:58:47 pm, the line 'Oh no, get ready. I can feel it coming, coming again” will sound just before the clock strikes midnight. Start the new year right"
( The video for this song will have to be included at 23:58:57, - approx. Meduza)
“If you play Evanescence's 'Bring me to life' at exactly 11:59:08 pm, the line 'wake me up' will play at exactly midnight. Start the new year right" "If you play Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' at exactly 23:56:23, the new year will start with the word 'bismillah'" “If you play Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé's 'Feeling Myself' at exactly 11:58:50 PM, Beyoncé will say 'World Stop!' in 2017 and 'Go On' in 2018. Great way to start the new year!” "If you play Lil Pump's 'Gucci Gang' at exactly 11:57:36 p.m. New Year's Eve, it's perfect because the track ends right before midnight and we can leave this shit where it's supposed to be."
“If you play System of a Down's 'Chop Suey' at exactly 11:59:13 PM on New Year's Eve, the line 'wake up' will play for the first time at exactly midnight. Start the new year right"
The design proposed in the flash mob also works with video.
“If you play the video ‘White nationalist Richard Spencer gets hit in the face on camera during an interview’ on December 31 at 11:59:27 pm, the hit will occur exactly at the moment the clock strikes midnight. Start the new year right" “If you play the highlights video of the Singapore Grand Prix at exactly 23:59:52, Ferraris will crash at exactly midnight, and you can start the new year with a bang.”
The flash mob also reached some Russian-speaking users. Here's what they offer:
