A social experiment video may answer questions as to whether people are willing to help a fellow human being in need: Would you help an elderly woman up a flight of stairs? Or would you help someone pick up a bag of groceries?

However, the video doesn’t just show London passersby giving a helping hand—it includes singing and dancing.

As one person noted in the comments section, “we live in a world where these trivial acts of kindness are seen [as] miracles... sad.”

Added another: “Nice idea, but I would help someone and a crowd would start to sing, I would HATE IT!”

“Not just in London, kind people is everywhere,” wrote another.
