Call it a hunch.

It amuses me to recall our high school orchestra's trips to Chicago in the '80s.  To pass the time, we would have impromptu sing-alongs.  I imagine those don't happen often these days.  I also imagine that few, if any, high school orchestras sing Neil Diamond's "Hello Again" or "The Joker" by The Steve Miller Band, as we did.  I still remember one girl on the bus starting to sing, "Hello, again, hello," and the rest of us taking the tune and running with it.

I wonder which tunes, if any, a high school orchestra would sing on a bus today.
