Not much happens on a regular flight unless there's turbulence or a nervous flyer sitting beside you, but for one passenger on board yesterday's easyJet flight from Manchester to Malta, the experience proved an interesting one *cough*.

Having dozed off after take off, the passenger woke up mid-flight to find a considerable number of passengers engrossed in a rather lively rendition of The Foundation's 'Build Me Up Buttercup'. While it is not clear whether the singers knew each other before the flight, or were travelling together to Malta, one thing's for sure: classic songs may be old, but they will always be gold.

Check out the video below:

What would you have done if you woke up mid-flight to this scene?
