The One with Interpretive Dance

There’s this dude, Ian, who apparently likes to videotape himself doing things while he’s bored (that’s what YouTube was created for wasn’t it?). During one of his boredom episodes, he decided to take a few songs and let his body become one with the music all for our viewing pleasure. He’s not terrible, in fact he’s pretty good – but I can’t help but be distracted by two things.

1 – His hair. He’s got a Bieber ‘do and a reverse Bieber ‘do going on all at once. Like instead of it flopping to one side, his part flops to the middle.

2 – He’s got a regular size torso but short legs. The only reason I’m even pointing this out is because I’ve got the same thing going on and now I’m wondering if this is how I look when I flail around on the dancefloor.

Everyone Loves a Dancing Hippie

So, I have this theory – there are two kinds of people in this world: people who love hippies dancing (or are a dancing hippie themselves) and those who make fun of hippies dancing because secretly they wish they had the balls to do it themselves.

Hippies dance like they just don’t give a damn who the hell is watching. They flail their arms and legs like toddlers at a Gymboree class as soon as Raffi, Tom Chapin or Beyonce is put on the radio (toddlers love them some Beyonce). While YouTube is generally filled with nasty comments, racist remarks and people who seem to curse everyone else for being born – YouTube seems to love dancing hippies. In fact, most of the comments are slamming the people who uploaded the videos in the first place.

In honor of me starting to get over being sick for en entire week, I bring you a few videos of happy, dancing, most likely high on something (even if it’s life), hippies.

Do I spy some Thriller??

This guy adds a little ballet to the mix – very impressive.

At least whoever posted this admits that the girl is hot…the real story for me though, is the dude in the white tennis shoes and fanny pack.

To be fair, this looks kind of like copoeira, just a lot less interesting.

Git It Cockatoo!

You guys, it’s a cockatoo (cockatiel? I’m no bird expert) doing some better choreography than Nappy Tabs on So You Think You Can Dance (I’m just playing, Nappy Tabs are the isht). But seriously, this bird can jam and my favorite part is when it spreads its wings and brings it down low. Get fly (PUN!!!):

Dancing Robots Aren't So Special

Like a scene out of my pornographic nightmares, Japanese pop music has found its newest star and it’s a dancing robot. Of course it is.

If I were one of those backup dancers, I’d be PISSED that that techno freak with the gigantic hands was stealing my thunder. Also, big deal she can dance, I used to have one of those little robotic dogs that could do flips. FLIPS!! I might think about putting her poster up on my wall if she can learn how to deliver me a pizza while doing this routine.

I Could Watch Old People Dance Forever

I don’t care if you’re breaking it down at a big ass club or if you’re shakin’ yo thang at a T-Mobile booth at a convention – when the spirit moves you it’s gotta come hard. This elderly man not only breaks it down – but I’m fairly certain he could’ve been an extra from Step Up 3-D. I’m going to put my Shadkhen hat on and find that hot granny from Walmart to set this dude up with.

(Thanks Joey for the head’s up)
