Dancing Queen

You realize that from this point on, that ABBA classic will remain in your head all day long don't you...

So to keep with the beat, check out these hilarious links. The first is http://www.barmitzvahdisco.com/. If I can quote Enrique Goldfarb, "the music may have stopped but the party's never over." Dance your way through the site and his blog and feel free to laugh out loud.

It was sometime back in the early part of the decade that my friend and I stumbled across http://www.zefrank.com/. No matter what email links I get, I always go back to this tried and true performance artist. It was really "Dance Properly" that got me hooked: http://www.zefrank.com/invite/swfs/index2.html and the link that went around the office for weeks. Don't miss "Ride the Pony" and "Hanging Out, Casual." (And cheers to you Erin because I always think of you when I hit this site for a good laugh...lucky for us Ze Frank never goes away.)

Finally the newbie on the block is comedian Judson Laipply. I heard that this had the most hits of any thing on the web recently. The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg. If you haven't seen it, then you missed a revolution. It's like watching a car crash. It's terrible and yet you can't help it. It starts out slow, after the first 10 seconds you might be wondering if you can stand the whole six plus minutes and then something happens and you can't stop. The only bad part is you just start singing the Brady Bunch song or something from "Saturday Night Fever" or "Walk Like an Egyptian" and he moves on to "Ice Ice Baby" and leaves you with the "Chicken Dance" in your head only to be replaced by "Can't Touch This" or "Cotton Eyed Joe." It is exhausting and remarkably creative: a whole bad wedding reception in a six minute video.

So your dancing in front of your mirror or in your living room can't compare to these folks.

Let's get out of here...word to your mother.
