Videos show Toronto streetcar turning into impromptu karaoke party for Pride

If you're dealing with a post-Pride slump and/or hangover this week, you're not the only one, asToronto went all outfor this year's Pride weekend with musical performances, block parties, raves, marches, drag shows and other events including, of course, the big paradeyesterday.

As the Church-Wellesley neighbourhood, Yonge Street and other parts of the downtown core were teeming with crowds dancing and celebrating, the festivities could be felt across the city all month but especially in the last few days, even spilling onto local public transit.

Clips are emerging of one extra fun streetcar ride where commuters came together in song and dance on Saturday night, belting out such hits as Aqua's Barbie Girl, Backstreet Boys' Backstreet's Back, Spice Girls' Wannabe and Abba's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) karaoke-style on the packed vehicle.

As the 506 College route drove past Yonge, Bay and hospital row, people on board continued on in chorus, keeping spirits high after the main events of the night were over. (Of course, the city was in for a full day of partying the following day, too.)

Here's hoping everyone had as much of a safe, fun-filled Pride weekend as these transit riders apparently did!
