I just saw this video, and it made me wonder, who here can cut a rug? I know I can't as I've got 2 left feet (picture an enibriated bull in a china shop). Anything in the video you recognize, and dance(d) to?

Hmm it does not seem to work, broken link it seems to be.

That's pretty cool. "We're gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, dancing all through the night!" :D

Haha, and he did the Polka!

Works for me in both IE and Firefox. I almost never use IE (and only opened it for the first time in IE when you commented), so it shouldn't be cached for me in IE.

HAHAHAHA... so jokez. thats H I L A R I O U S.

That was just awesome! Hehehehehee...

And yes, I can dance...I love dancing...merengue, cumbia, reggaeton, or whatever...

I got complemented a month or so ago on my dancing at this med school party thing. "You can really dance! Wow, you got the party started! I'm not BSing you, you can really move."

That pissed me off, because it's easier to dance when you think you suck at it. Then you just don't care. But when someone tells you you're sort of good at it, you become self-concious all over again.

Still, dancing is loads of fun.

That's hilarious! But what's that song after about 4 mins? I hear it quite often, and it's driving me crazy!

But when someone tells you you're sort of good at it, you become self-concious all over again. That is true....but it also sucks when someone says, 'you aren't doing it right'. My husband tried to tell me that a couple of times, dancing at latin clubs, so I started dancing with other men who said I was doing fine:p . The hubby doesn't dance enough for my tastes anyway, and he can only do one set of steps, so *sticks out tongue* to him!

The one where he jumps up and down? Not the pony one, but the one right after that? That's Jump Around by Cypress Hill.

There's no "doing it right" in dancing! Silly Sinu-husband. There's only looking good while you're doing it. Unless it's ballroom, which precludes the latter, and thus only has the former.

But you know what I hate? I hate those people who dance like they're having sex. All the time. That's all they do. Pretend to have sex on the dance floor. No matter the song, no matter the theme, no matter the straightness of the club.

I remember at my uncle's wedding, I got dragged out to the dance floor (against my will) to dance the Macarena (when it was in style). I understood the moves, but I intentionally did it wrong. My mom was laughing so hard she almost fell down, because she knew I was screwing up intentionally. One of the (drunk) women that was a friend to my uncle kept telling me, "You're doing it all wrong". In her unsober state, she didn't realize I already knew that.

I know, he just couldn't keep a rhythm and blamed it on me. I called him on it, and he admitted he just didn't like dancing. Life moved on, and I still look damn good dancing:)

Though in Cuba, I saw people dancing the perreo (doggy style dancing...frottage at its best), and it was mesmerising...they did it with style...and then moved on to complicated salsas to prove they could actually move more than their pelvises!

Hilarious, but pity he fucked up Macarena.

That one I know, I actually meant the pony one :p

You look damn good whenever. *oogles pics*

Latin people don't count, as their dancing is supposed to include a certain amount of molestation and/or sexual assault.

That I know, I actually meant the pony one :p

The Billy Idol song? It's Mony Mony.

Thank you. You have earned a prize (which I have just invented and will distribute whenever I feel that someone might be worthy of it!):

Thank you for those laughs I had watching that vid. Great!

Too late. :D

My mistake. You mentioned "the pony one", and one of the lines in Billy Idol's song is, "Ride the pony", so I assumed that was it. The song list is here: http://www.evolutionofdance.com/songs.html

It looks like the song you were really after was "Apache" by The Sugarhill Gang. Can I have another cookie? :D

Too late.

House of pain? But I was so sure it was Cypress Hill!

Thank you. I'd like to thank the Academy, my parents, everyone who believed in me, blah blah blah. I'll treasure it always.

The one that was also done in "The Fresh Prince"? That's a good one :D

I cannot dance, which is devestating, considering my love for Musical Theatre. Supposedly, the theatre school I'm planning on attending is really good at teaching people to dance. Unfortunately, there is a problem: how can I get in if I can't dance, and don't have any dance experience? My teacher told me to take a basic dance class before next spring's auditions, just so I could put it on my application, but I'm too embarassed to sign up for one.
On the subject of that video, man can that guy dance! His robot (as uncool as that move is) was great.

That video is great. I can only dance when i'm hyper/drunk. I can't claim to have any grace of skill with dancing, but I do have a goodly amount of craic, so tis all good.

:D
As you should! I invested some time of my life in creating that thing - but me laughing out aloud more than once in my room all by myself was definitely worth it!

Finally! After all this time! *Cries again* Sorry, this dip is a bit spicier than I thought, I...I can't feel my tongue!

I've got you beaten! I laughed out loud alone in the entire BUILDING! *Feels oddly proud*

I'm glad I could help.

i liked that. that was cool. apparently i can dance but i can't dance with people, i seem to dance too fast and leave people behind and they get bored trying to keep up with me. there's only one person who can keep up with me and she's mental. in fact i can't keep up with her, except when dancing to drum&bass. meh.

Whoa thats really cool.

I love to dance. Sadly I don't have many opportunities to do so. :(

No need to be embarrassed. Just go to a beginners course class. Everyone is likely to be as self-conscious as you, and all too busy worrying if they look silly in front of everyone, to ever notice if you or anyone other than themselves looks silly.

And even still you need not see these people ever again after the course.

As for the OP question, the video is still slowly streaming in (darn my dial-up is sloooooow), I've only seen up to the YMCA bit...cool! And yes I can dance.

eh..I don't know about that vid. I'm not one for comedy based on parodying one thing. It just wears thin after a while.

This guy is the most amazing breakdancer I've seen:

If I tried to do that, I'd have hurt myself after about 3 seconds.

Not me...until I find a dance well suited for limbs of...the extra large variety. That I can do to techno...Or jazz.

Awesome moves.
Though, if you click on the link, and go to the "Elsewhere's Oye Magazine Interview with video clip", and watch his impromtu dancing to no music, it just looks like he's having a fit.
