Everyone's Alive from the album Orca Songs by Drew Birston is a song about how much the element of surprise is important.
lyrics
When Jenny came back she didn't find a single soul around,
She wondered what had happened
Where were her friends,brother,sister Mary?
No one was around
What the hell was going on?
Open's up the cupboards there's still food around
Candle's still burning on a cake J-E-N-N-Y
Is this some sort of weird surprise,
A party where there's no dancing?
I look inside and all that's left is your memory
Wait there's a clue,someone's phone is ringing
I grab it and someone in a low voice says
He gives me an address
Everyone is there somewhere
I open up the door
Everyone is there somewhere
One last door in the back,maybe this is it
What's the answer,I open it up and surprise,
Everybody's there shouting,laughing,dancing,
