I Don't Want To Miss A Thing (Theme from "Armageddon")

One evening at the Dickhouse, around 1 am or potentially later, we had put on Armageddon as the night wound down. There were at least four or five of us in attendance, and undoubtedly most had taken in their share of drinks. As we watched the movie, it was evident that things were dying down fast and most of us were either falling asleep or getting there.
Then, all of a sudden, one of those magical moments that aren't possible to intentionally create happened. Two thirds of the way through the movie, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing starts to play, with a heavy emphasis on the chorus. At that point, a word hadn't likely been spoken by anyone present in nearly an hour. As the song blasted into the chorus, without a word of discussion and on pure instinct, every single person in the room started belting it out together. Every single word was sung uproariously, despite our near-asleep conditions. It came out of absolute nowhere.
Moments like that can never be recreated, only remembered.
Chris: Let it also be remembered that this may or may not have been triggered by the lines "I don't want to close my eyes. I don't want to fall asleep" in the song.
Mike: The music at my wedding was a bit of a fiasco, and while it still worked well enough to serve its purpose, my single biggest regret was that I Don't Want To Miss A Thing was on there, but it got skipped by some scoundrel who took it upon themselves to switch the playlist around. It would have been a great moment, belting it out again together. Dammit.
