Well, did they die in the film clip?

No.

Therefore the Safety Dance is in fact safe.

How do you know they weren't cursed and died just after filming?

Why the hell were they dancing then? If I found a stash of field porn, I could think of a number of activities to do, none of which involve "dancing". :)

What's a "field porn" ?

Porn that you find while you're walking around some farmer's paddock I suppose.

What's a "field porn" ?
Between the ages of around 11 to the age of about 14 young males gain some sort of strange ability to find abandoned porn in open fields. No one knows where it comes from (how does porn leave the home?) or why, but there it is. Usually a few torn pages from an unrecognizable magazine, about a third of it is less erotic and more disturbing. Once you're older you lose the ability somehow to find it. But then, you're old enough to get your own porn, so it doesn't matter.

It might not exist today because of the internet. I don't know, I'm too old to be able to find it and not kid who can is going to tell me about it.

So you understand why they're dancing-they are clearly past their field porn divining age and yet found a stash. But at the time they couldn't be direct about it (today I imagine you could call the song, "I Found Field Porn, Mofo!") so they had a May Pole in the middle...wrappin' the stiffie you see.

And it's safe because in the 80s as STDs and AIDS where putting a wet, smelly blanket on the sexual revolutions spankin' it to field porn was about as safe as you could get.

For me, it wasn't field porn – it was dam pr0n. And there weren't no Men Without Hats anywhere to be seen. There were beehives, though. I never will understand why there were beehives up by that dam.

I would challenge the part about "some sort of strange ability to find abandoned porn in open fields" though: is it not the case that field porn is usually found at the boundary of things? - hedgerows, railway sidings, verges of roads and the like. The obvious and particularly disturbing exception to this is the centre of thickets in public parks.

Well, Ivan didn't end up being burned alive with Christopher Lee leading the townspeople in a sing-a-long, so it's presumably reasonably safe.

Not just Pop Goes The World (bit of a Men Without Hats fan, actually) - there was also:

Living in China
I Got The Message

Sideways
Hey Men

And they were all pretty good - well, except maybe "Hey Men", which had a positive social message (stop beating your wives), but didn't really stand up as a particularly good melody.

Small parks are also a good place to find such stuff.

In between the hedgerows full of used condoms, there's usually some kind of light bondage in there.
