The thing about those cheesy dances is (in a lot of crowds) they really do get everyone up on the dance floor -- at least all the women -- from grandma to little kids. At my aunts' wedding, the 13-year old was teaching all the rest of us all the dances, and it was hilarious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love the Electric Slide. I am an Electric Slide MASTER! (not that there's so much *to* master, but I love it) And like Jesse says, it gets everyone up and boogeying, and then, often some will stick around after that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I fuck up the Electric Slide every single time. I don't even try any more.
However, I am quite good at the Alley Cat. And while I dislike conga lines, I am fond of the Bunny Hop.

I can't even.
ATROCITY???? I love that song, and the dance.
So, so wrong. Now I've almost exclusively seen the "dance" performed by painfully rhythmically-challenged people (yours truly included), so that may have affected my analysis.
Of course, since I fully intend to do the macarena at my putative wedding, it's possible I've just admitted myself right out of the arena of reason.
Really. Huh. That's a lot flailing limbs right there. Might want to set up a first aid station.

Plus, it looks like the CB creators put out another show that Adult Swim will be playing (Wolf somethingorother). Has anyone else heard anything about that?
Calli, if you're still around, it was Wolf's Rain and I got very hooked on it. At least 2 characters have the same hair shape as Spike. It looks like a teen anime until you grasp how very dark the story really is. Yes, the characters are pretty, but the action is very brutal at times. It's also deadly serious. None of the humor that Bebop had.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Best wedding reception I ever went to was when my friend married an Iranian. Those Persian men LOVE to dance. And the music and the men are very pretty.

The electric slide would be cool to watch if it caused actual electrocution.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I've found the root of the problem. There's no flailing in the macarena, not as designed. Nor most dancing, really.
Okay. Back to time delay Australian Open, hoping my mother really did spoil me as to the results.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nah, it just leads into a vat of electric boogaloo.
