A mosh pit to a Whitney Houston song? Now we've seen everything!

This unexpected wholesome moment happened during a Turnstile show on May 21 in Worcester, Mass. The moment was captured by Amanda Leigh Arns who was in the balcony of the venue when fans absolutely lost it while moshing to Houston's classic song "I Wanna Dance with Somebody." She shared in the YouTube description of the clip below, "The original short clip I posted on Facebook was a hit, so I figured I'd compile the rest of the short videos I took!"

It's amazing to see the pit go wild during the first verse, but when the fans in attendance belt out the chorus, that's when this moment reaches legendary status.


There were a bunch of classic '80s cover songs, but some covers are so good you may not have known they were actually covers.

Scroll through our gallery below, because some of these may surprise you.
