An entire plane burst into song in apparent joy when a drunk passenger was removed by five police officers.
In a video that has been shared by people on the plane, a woman was seen being taken off a Jetstar flight at Gold Coast earlier this year.
The woman, who was wearing a pair of sunglasses, appears to struggle to get up from her seat and stand straight as the assembled holidaymakers look on, the Daily Star reported.
Curious passengers took their phones out to record as one said: "Five coppers, we could have all done it for free - here we go, here we go. They are grabbing her."
Another is heard joking: “Come on mum, get off.”
As soon as the officers escorted the woman to the exit, the plane can be seen breaking into Steam's 1969 hit 'Na Na Hey Hey'.
The passenger was later identified as Erica Jayne Carlson, who appeared on Monday at Southport Magistrates' Court and pleaded guilty to a charge of behaving in an offensive or disorderly manner on an aircraft.
The court was told the 42-year-old was due to fly to Avalon Airport in Victoria to see her two boys, who were staying with their father.
A member of the cabin crew told the court that she had seen Carlson - who had no criminal history - "fall into her seat", leading to the conclusion that she was not fit to fly.
The flight attendant asked her to leave the plane.
“Miscommunication” with the flight staff escalated when Carlson became upset, seemingly because she thought she might not be able to fly again unless she paid for another ticket.
Carlson's lawyer, Michael McMillan, said the mum-of-two had "endured an unhappy, unhealthy public spotlight" after the footage was shared online.
He added: "The only thing she says that didn't make this the worst experience of her life is because she wasn't named at the time."
Carlson pleaded guilty to a single Commonwealth charge of behaving in an offensive or disorderly manner on an aircraft.
Magistrate Veena Goverdhan ordered Carlson to be of good behaviour for nine months and to undertake a recognisance release order with a £820 payment.
